Technical Performance
These ARRMA lower shock caps are engineered specifically for 6S brushless RC vehicles, which represents the upper tier of electric RC power delivery in the UK hobby market. The aluminium construction provides exceptional rigidity and durability whilst remaining lightweight, critical factors when managing the intense suspension forces generated by high-performance brushless motors in 1/7 and 1/8 scale RC trucks and buggies. The anodised black finish is not merely cosmetic—it creates a hard, protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from water, salt spray, and mud exposure during outdoor RC sessions. The precision threading allows for reliable assembly and disassembly during routine maintenance, which is essential for keeping your shock oil fresh and your suspension geometry perfectly tuned. Compatible with the ARRMA TALION 6S EXB, Typhon 6S V5 BLX, and TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX models, these caps integrate seamlessly into existing suspension systems, ensuring your RC's handling characteristics remain optimal during both casual bashful driving and competitive off-road racing.

You should consider replacement if you notice damage to the threads, cracks in the aluminium, or if your shock absorber begins to leak fluid, as this indicates the seal may have been compromised and the caps may need attention.
- Will these shock caps work with aftermarket shocks? — These ARRMA lower shock caps are designed specifically for ARRMA's shock systems used in their 6S models. Compatibility with aftermarket shocks cannot be guaranteed, so we recommend verifying fitment specifications with your shock manufacturer or contacting our expert team if you're unsure whether these caps will work with your particular setup.
