Overview
The ARRMA Shock Shaft 3.5x64mm (2) Z-AR330195 is an essential replacement suspension component for RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and performance from their vehicles. Whether you're a serious competitor running your RC buggy or truck on challenging terrain, or a weekend basher who pushes their machine to the limit, these shock shafts are engineered to deliver the durability and smooth performance your suspension system needs. ARRMA is a globally recognised manufacturer of high-performance RC vehicles, and their replacement parts maintain the same exacting standards as their complete ready-to-run models.
Suspension maintenance is crucial for any RC car UK enthusiast, and shock shafts are one of the most important wear components in your vehicle's suspension setup. Over time, standard shock shafts can become bent, scored, or worn through aggressive bashing and racing. When this happens, your shock absorber performance suffers, leading to inconsistent handling, reduced traction, and ultimately a less enjoyable driving experience. These ARRMA replacement shock shafts solve that problem by providing a fresh set of precision-manufactured components that restore your suspension to peak condition.
What sets these shock shafts apart is their construction from super-tough steel that's been engineered to withstand the most extreme terrain and demanding driving conditions. Whether you're tackling rough outdoor tracks, jumping off ramps, or smashing through obstacles, these shafts maintain their integrity and performance characteristics, giving you the confidence to push your RC vehicle to its limits without worrying about premature failure or performance degradation.
Key Features
- Super-tough steel construction — The shock shafts are manufactured from hardened steel specifically chosen for its ability to withstand extreme stress and impact. This material selection ensures the shafts can handle the violent forces generated by jumps, landings, and aggressive cornering without bending or becoming permanently deformed, which would ruin your suspension geometry and handling characteristics.
- Precision-manufactured threads — Each shock shaft features carefully engineered threads that allow for fast and easy servicing and adjustment of your shock absorber assembly. This precision manufacturing means threads remain clean and undamaged, making it simple to remove and reinstall shock components without stripping or cross-threading, which saves time and frustration during maintenance.
- Long-lasting operation in all conditions — These shafts are designed to maintain consistent performance whether you're driving in dry conditions, wet grass, sand, dirt, or mud. The durable steel construction resists corrosion and wear, ensuring reliable performance throughout the driving season regardless of the environmental conditions you encounter.
- Smooth and consistent shock absorber performance — By replacing worn or damaged shock shafts with these precision components, you restore your suspension's ability to provide smooth, predictable damping and spring action, which translates directly to better traction, more responsive handling, and improved overall vehicle control across all terrain types.
- Pack of two shafts — Each package includes two shock shafts (one pair), which is the standard configuration for most RC vehicles that use 3.5mm diameter shafts. This means you have a complete replacement set ready to install on both front and rear shock absorbers or to keep as spares for future maintenance needs.
Technical Performance
The 3.5x64mm specification indicates a shaft diameter of 3.5 millimetres and a length of 64 millimetres, making these compatible with a range of ARRMA RC vehicles that use this standard shock shaft size. The steel construction provides the rigidity and strength needed to prevent shaft flex and deflection during aggressive driving, which would otherwise cause inconsistent suspension performance. The precision-manufactured threads ensure that when you're adjusting shock settings or performing routine maintenance on your RC car, the assembly and disassembly process is smooth and reliable, preventing the damage that can occur with poorly manufactured threads. For UK-based RC enthusiasts who run their vehicles regularly, whether on track or off-road, these replacement shafts represent genuine ARRMA factory parts that meet the same specifications as the original components supplied with your vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace my RC shock shafts? — You should consider replacing your shock shafts if they show visible signs of bending, scoring, pitting, or corrosion, as these conditions degrade damping performance. Even if the shafts appear straight to the naked eye, after extensive bashing or racing they may have microscopic deformations that cause inconsistent suspension feel. Many experienced RC car UK drivers replace their shock shafts as part of regular preventative maintenance to ensure their vehicle always performs at its best.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-AR330195 is the official ARRMA part number for these 3.5x64mm shock shafts, ensuring you're getting genuine factory-specification components that are designed to work perfectly with your ARRMA vehicle. Purchasing genuine spare parts guarantees compatibility and performance, unlike aftermarket or counterfeit alternatives which may not fit correctly or provide the same durability.
- What vehicles use 3.5x64mm shock shafts? — While the source material doesn't specify every compatible vehicle, ARRMA manufactures several RC models that utilise 3.5x64mm shock shafts as their standard suspension component. To verify compatibility with your specific ARRMA model, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop, who can confirm whether these shafts are the correct replacement for your particular RC car or truck.
- How difficult is it to replace shock shafts? — Replacing shock shafts is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can complete in under an hour with basic tools. You'll typically need to remove your shocks from the vehicle, disassemble them, slide out the old shaft, and insert the new one, then reassemble and reinstall. The precision-manufactured threads on these ARRMA shafts make the process particularly smooth, though if you're unfamiliar with shock service, our team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance.
- Can I use these shafts as spares to keep on hand? — Absolutely. Many experienced RC bashers and racers keep spare shock shafts in their pit box or toolbox as insurance against damage during competition or intense recreational driving. By having a fresh pair ready to go, you can quickly swap out damaged shafts and get back to driving without waiting for a replacement delivery.
