Overview
The ARRMA Rear Shock Body Spring Spacer Set (2): 4x4 Z-AR330517 is an essential suspension component for RC enthusiasts maintaining their 1/10 scale ARRMA 4x4 vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated racer, weekend basher, or serious RC car UK hobbyist, having quality replacement shock bodies and spring spacers on hand ensures your RC model stays in peak condition. This high-quality component set is manufactured from hard-wearing, durable material designed to withstand the demands of off-road RC driving in all conditions.
Suspension maintenance is crucial to maintaining consistent handling and performance in your RC 4x4 model. The shock absorbers are among the most heavily stressed components on any off-road RC vehicle, enduring constant compression, extension, and lateral forces during driving. Over time, shock bodies can wear, become damaged, or require replacement for optimal performance. This genuine ARRMA spare parts set provides everything you need to refresh your rear suspension system quickly and efficiently.
This spare parts set represents excellent value for RC hobbyists who want to keep their ARRMA 4x4 vehicles in race-ready condition. Rather than replacing entire shock assemblies, you can simply swap out the worn components with these precision-manufactured bodies and spacers, saving money whilst maintaining the performance characteristics of your RC model.
Key Features
- Tough Moulded Composite Shock Bodies — The shock bodies are constructed from tough, moulded composite material engineered for reliable operation in all driving conditions, whether you're bashing on rough terrain or competing in organised races. This durable construction ensures the components can handle the stresses and impacts of aggressive RC driving without cracking or failing.
- 15mm Spring Spacer — Each set includes 15mm spring spacers that screw directly to the top of the shock body, allowing for precise suspension tuning and spring height adjustment. This feature is critical for fine-tuning your vehicle's handling characteristics and ride height to suit different track conditions and driving styles.
- Precision Manufactured Threads — The threads are precision manufactured to ensure a perfect fit every time, allowing for quick and efficient servicing without frustration. This attention to detail means your suspension maintenance is fast, reliable, and hassle-free, getting you back out on the track or trail faster.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA spare part, this set is engineered to the exact specifications required for optimal performance and compatibility with your ARRMA 4x4 vehicle. Using genuine parts ensures consistent performance and reliability that aftermarket alternatives may not deliver.
- Easy Installation — Designed for straightforward replacement, these components can be installed by RC enthusiasts of any experience level, making suspension maintenance accessible to beginners and experienced builders alike.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Rear Shock Body Spring Spacer Set represents precision engineering focused on suspension reliability and performance. The composite shock bodies are engineered to provide consistent damping characteristics across a wide range of driving conditions, from smooth tracks to rocky, uneven terrain. The 15mm spring spacer specification allows for critical ride height and spring preload adjustments, which directly affect your RC vehicle's handling balance, traction, and cornering performance. In RC racing and bashing, suspension geometry is paramount—even small adjustments to ride height can dramatically change how your vehicle responds to throttle input, braking, and cornering forces. The precision-manufactured threads ensure that repeated installation and removal cycles don't strip or damage the connection points, meaning these components will remain reliable through multiple servicing cycles. The composite material selection balances strength with weight, helping maintain your vehicle's optimal weight distribution whilst providing the durability required for aggressive driving. Whether you're running your ARRMA 4x4 on dusty tracks, muddy courses, or rocky terrain, these shock bodies and spacers are engineered to maintain consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA 4x4 models is this shock body and spring spacer set compatible with? — This set is specifically designed for the ARRMA QUAKE 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Monster Truck, available in multiple colour options including green, red, and purple. Before ordering, verify your vehicle model against the compatibility list to ensure proper fitment. The Z-AR330517 is an official ARRMA spare part engineered to OEM specifications for these models.
- How often should I replace my shock bodies and spring spacers? — The frequency of replacement depends on your driving intensity and conditions. Heavy use, impacts, and aggressive bashing will wear components faster than casual, controlled driving. Inspect your shock bodies regularly for cracks, leaks, or damage. Spring spacers should be checked for wear and thread damage. If you notice degraded performance, unusual noises from the suspension, or visible damage, replacement is recommended. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare shock components on hand for quick maintenance between races or driving sessions.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine ARRMA original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare parts, manufactured to exact ARRMA specifications and standards. Choosing genuine parts ensures compatibility, performance consistency, and longevity. Authentic ARRMA parts are designed to work harmoniously with the rest of your vehicle's suspension system.
- What tools do I need to install these shock bodies and spacers? — Installation typically requires basic RC hobby tools: a small screwdriver or hex key for the spacer fasteners, and potentially shock pliers or a specialised shock tool for removing and installing the shock bodies and springs. Detailed installation instructions should be referenced from ARRMA's official documentation to ensure proper assembly and alignment.
- Can I use these parts on other ARRMA models besides the QUAKE 223S? — Always verify compatibility before purchasing or installing any suspension components. Whilst some ARRMA vehicles may share similar suspension designs, different models can have variations in shock bore sizes, lengths, and mounting specifications. Consult your vehicle's documentation or contact ARRMA support to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this spare parts set is suitable for RC enthusiasts at all experience levels. Shock body replacement is a fundamental maintenance skill in RC hobby care, and the straightforward design makes it accessible to beginners. However, if you're unfamiliar with suspension servicing, consider consulting online tutorials or asking experienced RC community members for guidance before your first installation.
- What is the difference between this set and complete shock assemblies? — This set includes just the shock bodies and spring spacers, making it ideal for replacing worn or damaged components whilst retaining your existing springs, damping oil, and pistons if they're still in good condition. Complete shock assemblies include everything pre-assembled, which is convenient for comprehensive replacement but more expensive. This spare parts approach offers flexibility and cost savings for targeted maintenance.
