For anyone running a 6S brushless RC vehicle, suspension performance is absolutely critical. Shock bodies that wear out or become bent compromise your entire handling package, affecting traction, stability and overall driving experience. Replacing them with genuine ARRMA components ensures your RC car maintains the performance characteristics it was designed for. These shock bodies are essential spares for anyone serious about RC motorsport in the UK or simply wanting to keep their RC truck running at its best.
Key Features
- Red Anodised Aluminium Construction — The anodised aluminium material reduces overall vehicle weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity and durability, ensuring consistent suspension performance lap after lap without the weight penalty of heavier materials. This lightweight design helps improve acceleration, handling responsiveness and overall speed of your RC car.
- Precision Manufactured Adjustment Threads — Fast and easy ride-height tuning can be completed in seconds thanks to precisely engineered adjustment threads that operate smoothly and reliably every single time. This means you can experiment with suspension geometry and find the perfect setup for your specific driving style and track conditions without frustration.
- Designed for 4mm Shock Shafts — These shock bodies are engineered specifically to work with 4mm shock shafts, ensuring perfect compatibility with ARRMA 6S vehicles and delivering the exact fit and performance characteristics you need for reliable operation.
- Eye-Catching Appearance with Long-Lasting Durability — The vibrant red finish looks fantastic on your RC truck whilst the anodised aluminium construction ensures these shock bodies will withstand the demands of intense driving, bashing and racing without premature wear or degradation.
- Genuine ARRMA Suspension Spares — As official ARRMA components, these shock bodies deliver authentic performance engineering and quality assurance, giving you confidence that you're running the exact parts your vehicle was designed around.
Technical Performance
These shock bodies represent precision suspension engineering from ARRMA, a manufacturer renowned for producing high-performance RC vehicles and components. The 16x47mm dimensions provide the optimal balance of stroke length and damping characteristics for 6S brushless RC trucks and buggies, delivering responsive handling without excessive harshness. The aluminium construction has been chosen for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, allowing suspension movements to be transmitted efficiently through the chassis whilst keeping overall vehicle mass to a minimum. The red anodised finish is not merely cosmetic—anodising provides a protective oxide layer that dramatically increases corrosion resistance and surface hardness, essential for RC vehicles that may encounter wet conditions, dusty terrain or saltwater environments common in UK RC racing and bashing. The precision-manufactured adjustment threads operate with minimal friction, allowing ride-height adjustments that would otherwise require tools and time to be made in seconds using only finger adjustments. This engineering approach demonstrates ARRMA's understanding of what serious RC drivers demand: components that perform consistently, adjust easily, and maintain their integrity through hundreds of hours of use across varying conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC vehicles are these shock bodies compatible with? — These shock bodies are designed for ARRMA Senton and Talion 2018 specification vehicles running 6S brushless power systems. They are engineered to work with 4mm shock shafts, so ensure your vehicle uses this shaft diameter before purchasing.
- What does the 16x47mm specification mean? — The 16x47mm dimensions refer to the diameter and length of the shock body. This sizing provides the correct stroke length and damping characteristics for ARRMA 6S trucks, ensuring your suspension operates within the designed parameters for optimal handling.
- How difficult is it to replace shock bodies on my RC truck? — Shock body replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can accomplish in minutes with basic tools. Once removed, the new bodies simply slide onto your existing 4mm shock shafts and are secured in place, allowing you to maintain suspension performance without requiring professional service.
- Will these shock bodies work with my current shock shafts and springs? — Yes, these shock bodies are designed to work with 4mm shock shafts, so as long as your ARRMA 6S vehicle uses this standard shaft diameter, they will be fully compatible with your existing springs, shafts and dampers.
- Why would I need to replace shock bodies? — Shock bodies can become bent, cracked or scored through normal RC driving, especially in competitive use or aggressive bashing. Bent bodies prevent smooth damper movement, compromising suspension performance and handling. Replacing them with genuine ARRMA components restores your vehicle to factory specification performance.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are official ARRMA components (part number Z-AR330509) manufactured to ARRMA's exacting quality standards. Purchasing genuine spares ensures compatibility, performance and reliability with your ARRMA RC vehicle.
- What is the difference between aluminium and plastic shock bodies? — Aluminium shock bodies offer superior durability, strength and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. They resist bending and cracking better, maintain their dimensions under stress, and provide more consistent damping performance over extended use, making them the preferred choice for serious RC enthusiasts.
