Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — The shock components are manufactured from durable composite materials engineered to withstand demanding RC driving conditions, providing long-lasting reliability in all weather and terrain situations without degradation or failure.
- Precision-Manufactured Shock Parts — Each component in this set has been precision engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring fast and easy installation during suspension servicing and maintaining perfect fitment across ARRMA vehicle platforms.
- Carefully Selected O-Ring Material — The O-rings included in this set are manufactured from premium elastomer compounds specifically chosen for shock absorber applications, delivering smooth operation and preventing internal fluid leakage that would compromise suspension performance.
- Complete Pre-Load Spacer Selection — Three different pre-load spacer sizes (3mm, 5mm and 7mm) allow you to fine-tune your shock ride height and suspension geometry to match different track conditions, driving styles and terrain types.
- Comprehensive Component Set — Rather than purchasing individual parts, this complete kit provides all essential shock consumables in one purchase, saving money and ensuring you always have spares on hand when your suspension needs refreshing.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Composite Shock Parts O-Ring Set delivers professional-grade shock maintenance capability with its meticulously engineered component selection. The set includes precision-manufactured shock pistons, shock cartridges, shock cartridge tops, O-ring spacers and spring location rings—each element plays a critical role in maintaining your RC car's suspension responsiveness and ride quality. The inclusion of multiple pre-load spacer sizes (3mm, 5mm, and 7mm options) enables suspension tuning without purchasing additional components separately, allowing you to adjust your RC vehicle's ride height and stiffness to match specific track conditions or personal driving preferences. The O-rings supplied in this kit (8 pieces of 1.5mm O-rings and 4 pieces of 2.6mm x 2mm O-rings) are manufactured from high-quality elastomer materials that resist degradation from oils, cleaners and weathering, ensuring consistent sealing performance across multiple servicing cycles. This complete maintenance package supports both 1/10 and 1/8 scale ARRMA vehicles, making it an indispensable component for any serious RC car owner in the UK who demands reliable suspension performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC cars is this shock kit compatible with? — This composite shock parts set is compatible with an extensive range of ARRMA 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicles, including the BIG ROCK (223S, 3S, and V4 models), FURY 2WD and 223S models, GORGON 2WD variants, GRANITE 2WD, 4WD, BOOST and MEGA variants (including 223S, 3S and brushed models), QUAKE 223S, SENTON 4WD, BOOST and 223S models (including 3S and brushed variants), VORTEKS 2WD, 4WD, BOOST and 223S models (including 3S variants), INFRACTION 223S, 3S, and brushed models, TYPHON 223S, 3S, 4WD and MEGA models, and VENDETTA 3S models across both brushless and brushed configurations.
- How often should I service my RC shock absorbers? — Shock maintenance intervals depend on your driving frequency and conditions, but most RC enthusiasts should service their shocks every 10-15 hours of running time, or whenever you notice reduced suspension responsiveness, slower shock compression, or visible oil leakage around the shock body.
- What do the pre-load spacers do on an RC shock? — Pre-load spacers adjust the amount of spring compression at rest, effectively changing your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness without altering the actual spring rate—allowing you to fine-tune handling for different track layouts and driving styles by selecting 3mm, 5mm or 7mm spacers.
- Can I use this kit on different ARRMA models? — Yes, the universal fitment of this shock kit across ARRMA's 1/10 and 1/8 scale range means it provides excellent compatibility value, as you can use leftover components and spacers across multiple vehicles in your RC car collection.
- What happens if my shocks leak oil? — Oil leakage typically indicates worn or damaged O-rings, which is precisely why this kit includes replacement O-rings in the most common sizes—replacing the seals restores shock function and prevents performance loss from compromised damping.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, shock maintenance is a fundamental skill for all RC car owners, and this kit supports learning proper suspension servicing techniques with its comprehensive component selection and precision-manufactured parts designed for straightforward installation.
- Why would I need multiple spacer sizes? — Different driving conditions and personal preferences require different suspension setups, so having 3mm, 5mm and 7mm options allows rapid ride height adjustment between sessions without waiting for alternative components to arrive.
