For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to maintain or upgrade their ARRMA vehicles with genuine manufacturer spares, this is a product you can trust completely.
Key Features
- Red Anodised Aluminium Construction — The shock bodies are manufactured from high-quality aluminium with a vibrant red anodised finish that not only looks exceptional on your RC car but also provides a protective coating against corrosion and oxidation, ensuring long-lasting durability even with regular use and exposure to the elements.
- Reduced Vehicle Weight — By choosing aluminium over heavier materials, these shock bodies help minimise your RC car's overall weight, which directly improves acceleration, handling responsiveness, and suspension performance, allowing your brushless RC vehicle to perform at its peak potential.
- Precision Manufactured Adjustment Threads — The carefully engineered threads allow for fast and easy ride-height tuning adjustments that can be made in seconds, giving you the flexibility to optimise your suspension geometry for different track conditions, surfaces, and driving styles without requiring special tools or extensive disassembly.
- Eye-Catching Appearance — The striking red finish transforms the look of your ARRMA Infraction or LIMITLESS, adding a professional, high-end aesthetic that reflects the quality engineering beneath the surface and makes your RC car stand out in any collection.
- Long-Lasting Durability — These shock bodies are engineered to withstand the demands of serious RC use, from aggressive bashing to competitive racing, maintaining consistent performance and reliable operation through hundreds of runs without degradation or failure.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As official ARRMA spare parts, these shock bodies are designed and manufactured to exacting standards to ensure perfect compatibility and performance with your specific RC vehicle model, guaranteeing peace of mind and consistent results.
Technical Performance
These 16x36mm aluminium shock bodies represent precision engineering at its finest. The dimensions are specifically calculated to work seamlessly with ARRMA's suspension geometry on both the Infraction 6S BLX and the 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX models, ensuring that shock height, compression characteristics, and overall suspension response remain perfectly calibrated. The use of aluminium rather than cheaper plastic or steel materials provides the perfect balance between lightweight construction and structural rigidity – essential qualities for maintaining consistent suspension performance across varying terrain and driving conditions. The precision-manufactured adjustment threads incorporate careful engineering that allows micro-adjustments to ride height without stripping or wear, meaning you can confidently make tuning changes repeatedly without degradation. The red anodised finish is applied through an industrial anodising process that creates a hard, protective oxide layer, significantly more durable than simple paint and resistant to fuel, oils, and UV exposure. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK investing in quality suspension upgrades, these shock bodies deliver genuine engineering excellence and proven reliability that has been validated through countless hours of use by ARRMA drivers worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these ARRMA shock bodies compatible with my RC vehicle? — Yes, these Z-ARA330595 shock bodies are specifically designed for the ARRMA Infraction 6S BLX (available in Blue or Silver) and the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX Street Speed models (available in Red/Black or White/Blue). Check your vehicle model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- How do I adjust the ride height on these shock bodies? — The shock bodies feature precision-manufactured adjustment threads that allow you to easily modify ride height by screwing the shock body up or down on the shock shaft. These adjustments can typically be made in seconds using basic RC tools, giving you full control over your vehicle's suspension geometry without requiring complete disassembly.
- Will upgrading to aluminium shock bodies improve my RC car's performance? — Yes, aluminium shock bodies offer several genuine performance benefits. The reduced weight compared to plastic alternatives improves acceleration and handling responsiveness, whilst the increased rigidity of aluminium ensures more consistent suspension performance and better durability through aggressive driving and bashing sessions.
- How durable is the red anodised finish? — The red anodised coating is extremely durable and significantly more resistant to wear than paint alone. Anodising creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, fuel, oils, and UV damage, meaning these shock bodies will maintain their appearance and protective qualities through countless RC bashing sessions and races.
- Can I use these shock bodies with other ARRMA models? — These 16x36mm shock bodies are specifically engineered for the Infraction 6S BLX and LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4X4 RTR BLX models. Whilst other ARRMA vehicles use shock bodies, they may have different dimensions or thread specifications, so always verify your vehicle's exact model number and shock specifications before purchase to ensure proper fitment and performance.
- Why would I need replacement shock bodies for my RC car? — Shock bodies can suffer damage through aggressive driving, crashes, or exposure to extreme conditions. Additionally, many RC enthusiasts upgrade to aluminium versions from plastic originals to gain the weight savings and durability benefits, or they simply want the enhanced appearance and improved suspension tuning capabilities that these precision-engineered components provide.
