- Pre-Filled with Shock Oil — Each shock absorber is pre-filled with shock oil, eliminating the need for additional fluid preparation and ensuring optimal damping performance straight from the box.
- Spring Spacers Included — Fine-tuning your RC car's ride height has never been easier, with spring spacers supplied to allow precise suspension geometry adjustment for any driving surface or condition.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Big Bore Shock Set represents a significant step forward in suspension technology for 1/10 scale off-road RC vehicles. The big bore design allows for a greater piston surface area relative to the shock body, which translates to improved damping control and more predictable suspension behaviour across varied terrain. The shocks are supplied without springs, allowing you to select the spring rate that best suits your driving style, weight distribution and intended use—whether that's casual backyard bashing or competitive racing on prepared tracks. The pre-filled shock oil is carefully calibrated to work in harmony with the larger bore diameter, providing smooth compression and rebound characteristics that reduce harshness whilst maintaining responsive handling. The inclusion of spring spacers demonstrates ARRMA's understanding of the need for riders to fine-tune their suspension setup, as ride height directly influences weight transfer, traction and vehicle balance. These assembled shocks represent engineered precision components rather than basic replacements, ensuring that your 1/10 ARRMA Kraton or OutCast maintains its legendary performance credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles are these Big Bore shocks compatible with? — The ARRMA Big Bore Shock Set (Z-AR330553) is designed specifically for 1/10 scale ARRMA Kraton and OutCast vehicles, serving as a direct replacement for factory rear shock absorbers on these models.
- Are these shocks suitable for beginners? — Whilst these shocks are quality components, their use as a replacement part means they're most suitable for existing RC car owners who are familiar with basic suspension maintenance and adjustment. Complete beginners to the RC hobby should consider ready to run RC car kits that come fully assembled with suspension already set up.
- Do these shocks come pre-filled? — Yes, the shocks arrive pre-filled with shock oil, meaning you don't need to purchase additional fluid or carry out fluid preparation before installation. Simply fit your chosen springs using the included spacers and bolt them onto your vehicle.
- What is the difference between the Big Bore shocks and standard shocks? — The Big Bore design features a larger diameter shock body and piston, which provides superior damping control, better impact absorption and more consistent performance across varied driving conditions. This makes them particularly suitable for aggressive bashers and competitive drivers seeking improved handling characteristics.
- Why do these shocks need springs? — The shocks are supplied without springs to give you the flexibility to select the spring rate that suits your specific setup, driving weight and intended use. This modularity is a key advantage for RC enthusiasts who like to fine-tune their suspension geometry.
- Can I adjust the ride height with these shocks? — Yes, the included spring spacers allow you to adjust ride height by changing how the springs compress, giving you precise control over vehicle geometry and weight distribution for optimal handling on different surfaces.
