This makes the ARRMA set an invaluable tool for serious RC enthusiasts who want to get the absolute best performance from their models.
Key Features
- Tough Moulded Composite Shock Bodies — The shock bodies are constructed from durable composite materials that withstand the demands of serious RC driving, whether you're bashing in muddy terrain or pushing your vehicle to its limits on the track. This material choice ensures long-term reliability whilst keeping weight to a minimum, which improves overall vehicle performance and battery runtime.
- 8mm Spring Spacer Design — The 8mm spring spacers screw directly to the top of the shock bodies, providing a quick and convenient way to adjust spring preload and ride height. This threaded connection ensures a precise, secure fit that won't loosen or shift during aggressive driving, allowing you to maintain consistent suspension geometry lap after lap or run after run.
- Precision Manufactured Threads — Every component features precision-manufactured threads that deliver exact fitment and allow for fast, efficient servicing. The quality of these threads means you can repeatedly adjust your suspension setup without degrading the thread quality, ensuring your shock spacers will perform reliably for years to come.
- Fast and Efficient Servicing — The straightforward design allows you to swap, adjust, or service your suspension components quickly without requiring specialist tools or extensive downtime. This is particularly valuable during events or practice sessions where you need to make rapid tuning adjustments to your 4x4 model.
- Compatible with Multiple ARRMA 4x4 Models — This set works with numerous ARRMA 1/10 and 1/8 scale 4x4 vehicles, including Big Rock, Granite, Senton, and Typhon models in both brushless and brushed variants, making it a versatile upgrade for ARRMA owners across the UK RC hobby community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are shock spacers used for on RC cars? — Spring spacers are used to adjust your shock preload, which controls how much the spring is compressed before the vehicle sits on it. By changing spacers, you can modify your vehicle's ride height, suspension geometry, and how the suspension responds to bumps and jumps. This is a fundamental tuning tool that allows you to optimise your RC 4x4 for different terrain types, driving styles, and track conditions.
- Are these spacers compatible with my ARRMA RC model? — The ARRMA Shock Body Spring Spacer Set 2 Front: 4x4 is designed for ARRMA 1/10 and 1/8 scale 4x4 models, including the Granite, Big Rock, Senton, and Typhon in their various versions (brushless and brushed). We recommend checking your specific model number against the comprehensive compatibility list to ensure perfect fit. If you're unsure whether these parts are suitable for your vehicle, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is happy to help.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shock spacers? — The precision-manufactured threads allow installation with standard tools that most RC enthusiasts already own. The straightforward screw-on design means you don't need specialist equipment, making this an ideal upgrade for both experienced builders and those relatively new to RC tuning. Installation typically takes just a few minutes per shock.
- What is the difference between spacer sizes? — The 8mm dimension of these spacers relates to the height of material they add to your spring stack. Different spacer sizes allow you to fine-tune how much preload is on your springs, which directly affects ride height, suspension response, and ground clearance. By using different combinations or thicknesses (which you may purchase separately), you can dial in the perfect setup for your driving style and terrain.
- How often should I replace shock spacers? — Shock spacers are precision components designed for long-term durability. Under normal use, the moulded composite construction and precision threads will last for years. However, if you notice wear, thread damage, or cracks in the composite, replacement is straightforward. Keeping spare spacers on hand is a smart practice for competitive racers or those who run frequently.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. While suspension tuning using spring spacers is a more advanced aspect of RC ownership, these components are straightforward to install and adjust. Beginners can start with the standard configuration and gradually experiment with different spacer combinations as they gain experience. Our team can advise on basic tuning approaches if you're new to this aspect of RC ownership.
