Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Aluminium Construction — The front shock tower is crafted from high-grade aluminium material that offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. This means your suspension setup remains light enough to improve overall vehicle dynamics whilst maintaining the rigidity necessary to support the forces generated during high-speed cornering, jumps, and aggressive driving.
- Advanced Upper Shock Mount Holes for Tuning — Specially designed upper shock mount holes provide multiple adjustment positions that allow you to fine-tune your suspension geometry in minutes without requiring complex tools or extensive mechanical knowledge. This feature is essential for racers who need to adjust their setup between different track conditions or driving styles, making it possible to dial in the perfect balance between responsiveness and stability.
- Black Anodized Coating for Protection and Style — The professional black anodized finish serves a dual purpose: it enhances the visual appeal of your RC car with a sleek, finished look, whilst simultaneously providing a protective barrier against corrosion, oxidation, and the damaging effects of moisture and salt spray encountered during outdoor use in extreme conditions.
- Compatible with Multiple ARRMA Platform Models — This shock tower works with both the Infraction 6S BLX series and the LIMITLESS 8S AVC platform, making it a versatile spare part for owners of these popular high-performance vehicles. Having the correct replacement parts ensures that you can maintain your RC car to manufacturer specifications.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Front Shock Tower Z-ARA320513 represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of modern high-performance RC vehicles. Constructed from lightweight aluminium that has been carefully selected for its strength characteristics, this component delivers the structural integrity required to maintain proper suspension alignment under the extreme forces generated during competitive racing and aggressive driving. The anodized finish adds a protective layer that enhances durability, particularly important for RC enthusiasts who operate their vehicles in challenging weather conditions or off-road environments where moisture and dust exposure is inevitable. The specially positioned upper shock mount holes have been engineered to provide precise suspension geometry adjustment capabilities, allowing drivers to make meaningful changes to their vehicle's handling characteristics without requiring complete disassembly of the suspension system. This front shock tower is engineered to exacting standards that match ARRMA's reputation for quality and performance in the RC car hobby sector. The lightweight design contributes to improved overall vehicle performance by reducing unsprung mass, which directly impacts suspension responsiveness and handling feel. Whether you're operating a 6S or 8S LiPo-powered ARRMA vehicle, this shock tower provides the foundation necessary for consistent, predictable performance lap after lap.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles is the Z-ARA320513 front shock tower compatible with? — The ARRMA Front Shock Tower Z-ARA320513 is compatible with the Arrma Felony 6S BLX (both Orange and Black variants), the Arrma Infraction 6S BLX (both Silver and Blue variants), and the Arrma 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX Street Speed (both White/Blue and Red/Black variants). Before purchasing, verify your specific vehicle model to ensure compatibility.
- Why would I need to replace my front shock tower? — Front shock towers can become damaged through crashes, wear over time, or if you want to upgrade your suspension geometry for better performance. Having a replacement shock tower on hand means you can quickly get your RC car back on the track rather than waiting for repairs. Additionally, if you want to experiment with different suspension settings, having spare shock towers allows you to maintain multiple suspension configurations.
- Does this shock tower require any special installation tools? — The front shock tower is designed for straightforward installation as a direct replacement part. You will need basic RC tools such as hex wrenches to remove the old shock tower and install the new one, but the component itself does not require any special tools or modifications.
- Is the black anodized finish protective or just cosmetic? — The black anodized coating provides genuine protection against corrosion and oxidation whilst also looking professional. The anodized layer helps shield the underlying aluminium from moisture, salt spray, and environmental contaminants that can cause degradation. This makes the finish both functional and aesthetic, particularly valuable for RC cars operated in challenging conditions or near coastal areas where salt exposure occurs.
- Can I adjust my suspension geometry with this shock tower? — Yes, the specially designed upper shock mount holes allow you to adjust suspension geometry quickly. Different hole positions provide varying shock angles and compression rates, enabling you to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics for different track conditions, driving styles, or weather. This adjustability is one of the key advantages of choosing an ARRMA vehicle with this precision-engineered shock tower design.
- What makes this better than third-party alternatives? — This is an official ARRMA component engineered specifically for your vehicle's suspension system, ensuring perfect fitment and performance. Using genuine ARRMA parts maintains your vehicle's warranty coverage and guarantees that the engineering specifications match your RC car's design parameters. Third-party alternatives may offer different geometry or fitment tolerances that could compromise your vehicle's handling or durability.
