The precision-manufactured design ensures a reliable fit and fast, straightforward servicing of your shock absorbers, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your RC rather than struggling with poor-fitting parts.
Key Features
- Premium Aluminium Construction — These lower shock caps are manufactured from high-quality aluminium, which provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring they can handle the extreme forces generated by powerful 6S brushless motors whilst remaining lightweight and responsive to suspension tuning adjustments.
- Anodised Black Finish — The black anodised coating significantly increases durability and corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from moisture, mud, and harsh weather conditions during outdoor RC bashing sessions, whilst giving your RC car that premium, professional appearance.
- Precision Closure Threads — These shock caps feature precision-engineered closure threads that allow fast and reliable shock absorber servicing, meaning you can quickly disassemble and reassemble your suspension system without cross-threading or damaging the delicate internal components that control your RC vehicle's handling characteristics.
- Perfect Fit Engineering — Manufactured with precision tolerances and designed specifically for ARRMA 6S platforms, these shock caps provide an exact, reliable fit that ensures proper shock function and prevents leaks or misalignment that could compromise suspension performance on your RC buggy or truck.
- Two-Pack Value — This pack includes two lower shock caps, allowing you to replace both rear shocks or maintain spares for your RC car collection, ensuring consistent suspension performance across your entire vehicle or providing backup components for competitive racing.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC models are these ARRMA shock caps compatible with? — These lower shock caps are designed for several premium ARRMA 6S models including the 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4X4 RTR Speed Truck in black, the ARRMA Typhon 6S V5 BLX, and the 1/8 TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX Buggy RTR available in red and blue. If you own any of these high-performance 6S RC vehicles, these caps are a direct fit replacement for your existing lower shock components.
- Why should I choose aluminium shock caps over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium shock caps offer superior strength and durability compared to plastic components, making them ideal for serious RC enthusiasts running powerful 6S brushless motors. The anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring your shock caps remain in perfect condition through countless outdoor bashing sessions, mud runs, and water crossings. Aluminium also provides better heat dissipation from the shock system and maintains its structural integrity in extreme conditions.
- How often should I replace my shock caps? — With proper maintenance and the durability of these precision-engineered aluminium components, your shock caps should last for years of regular RC car UK bashing and 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.
- What is the advantage of the precision closure threads mentioned? — The precision closure threads allow you to quickly service your shock absorbers without risk of cross-threading or damaging the internal components, making regular maintenance straightforward and reliable. This means you can change your shock oil, adjust spring rates, and perform general maintenance without struggling with poor-fitting parts or needing specialist tools.
