Key Features
- Lightweight Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight yet strong aluminium material, this shock tower reduces the overall weight of your ARRMA 1/8 scale RC vehicle, which directly improves acceleration, handling responsiveness, and overall performance during high-speed runs and aggressive manoeuvres.
- Advanced Tuning Upper Shock Mount Holes — Specially designed upper shock mount holes allow you to make advanced suspension tuning adjustments in minutes without requiring complex tools or expertise, enabling you to optimise your vehicle's handling characteristics for different terrains and driving styles.
- Black Anodised Coating — The professional black anodised finish provides a cool aesthetic appearance whilst simultaneously offering increased durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring the component maintains its integrity even during extreme driving conditions and exposure to wet or muddy environments.
- Precision Engineering — As an official ARRMA component manufactured to exacting standards, this shock tower delivers the precise suspension mounting position required for optimal vehicle handling and performance consistency across multiple driving sessions.
- OEM Quality Compatible Part — Designed specifically for the ARRMA Typhon 6S V5 BLX, this is a genuine OEM replacement part that ensures perfect fitment and maintains your vehicle's performance characteristics without modification or adaptation.
Technical Performance
This aluminium rear shock tower is engineered as a direct replacement component for ARRMA 1/8 scale vehicles, specifically compatible with the C-ARA8606V5 Typhon 6S V5 BLX platform. The precision-manufactured design ensures optimal suspension mounting geometry, which is critical for maintaining consistent handling in high-performance ARRMA brushless RC trucks capable of delivering extreme speeds and aggressive driving dynamics. The lightweight aluminium material plays a significant role in performance optimisation; by reducing unsprung weight at the rear of the vehicle, this component improves weight transfer during acceleration and braking, enhances suspension responsiveness, and contributes to better overall vehicle dynamics during both high-speed runs and technical handling scenarios. The specially engineered upper shock mount holes feature multiple mounting positions, allowing drivers to adjust suspension geometry by changing the angle and position of the rear shocks, which directly influences ride height, anti-squat characteristics, and overall suspension compliance. The black anodised coating is not merely cosmetic; this finish hardens the aluminium surface and provides a protective barrier against moisture, salt, dirt, and the corrosive elements encountered during outdoor RC driving sessions. For users of the ARRMA Typhon 6S V5 BLX—a 1/8 scale brushless platform designed for serious performance—this shock tower represents an essential maintenance component and tuning upgrade that directly impacts suspension performance and vehicle longevity.
