These precision-engineered shock bodies represent a significant performance enhancement over standard components, delivering the refined suspension tuning that competitive RC car UK drivers demand. Whether you're upgrading from worn components or fine-tuning your setup for optimal performance, these red anodised aluminium shock bodies provide the durability and adjustability required for consistent performance across all driving conditions.
Designed specifically for high-performance street bash and track racing applications, these shock bodies are manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure smooth suspension operation and reliable ride-height adjustment. The replacement shock bodies are ideal for RC car enthusiasts who demand precision engineering and long-lasting durability from their suspension components. Available as a pair, these shocks provide everything you need to refresh your suspension system and restore your RC vehicle to peak performance.
As a replacement spare part, the Z-ARA330597 shocks are essential for maintaining your ARRMA brushless RC vehicle's suspension integrity. Whether you're a weekend basher or a competitive racer, having quality replacement shock bodies ensures your vehicle performs consistently and handles predictably on any surface.
Key Features
- Red Anodised Aluminium Construction — The red anodised finish not only delivers eye-catching aesthetics that make your RC vehicle stand out, but the aluminium material itself is significantly lighter than steel alternatives, which reduces overall vehicle weight and improves acceleration, deceleration and overall handling characteristics without compromising durability.
- Precision Manufactured Adjustment Threads — Fast and easy ride-height tuning is achievable in seconds thanks to the precision-engineered threading, allowing you to dial in your suspension geometry without requiring specialised tools or spending hours on adjustments, making setup changes quick and repeatable for consistent performance.
- Long-Lasting Durability — The robust aluminium construction withstands the rigours of competitive RC racing and aggressive bashing, resisting corrosion and maintaining structural integrity through countless run sessions, ensuring your investment in quality suspension components delivers extended service life.
- Pair Supply — Supplied as a matched pair of two shock bodies, allowing you to refresh both front and rear suspension simultaneously or replace damaged components while maintaining perfectly balanced suspension performance across your entire vehicle.
Technical Performance
These aluminium shock bodies deliver the precision engineering expected from ARRMA's original equipment manufacturer specification. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, the 16x41mm dimensions provide optimal suspension travel and response characteristics for high-performance street bash and track racing applications. The precision-manufactured threads enable repeatable ride-height adjustments that maintain consistency across multiple run sessions, eliminating the frustration of suspension geometry shifting during aggressive driving. The red anodised aluminium material balances weight reduction with structural strength, ensuring the shock bodies maintain rigidity under the demanding loads experienced during high-speed cornering and aggressive acceleration. The 41mm length provides sufficient suspension travel to absorb track imperfections whilst maintaining optimal body clearance, a critical consideration for competitive RC racing where ground contact can cost you vital seconds. Compatible with both the ARRMA Infraction 6S BLX and LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4x4 RTR BLX models, these shock bodies integrate seamlessly into vehicles already tuned for maximum performance, eliminating compatibility concerns and ensuring immediate performance benefits upon installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models are these shock bodies compatible with? — These Z-ARA330597 shock bodies are fully compatible with the ARRMA Infraction 6S BLX in both Blue and Silver colour variants, and the ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4x4 RTR BLX Street Speed in both Red/Black and White/Blue colour options. Simply verify your vehicle model before ordering to ensure perfect fitment.
- Are these aluminium shock bodies suitable for beginners? — Whilst these are quality replacement components requiring basic mechanical knowledge for installation, they are spare parts rather than a complete beginner-friendly kit. If you're new to RC cars UK and need guidance on suspension setup, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is here to help you understand suspension tuning and installation procedures.
- How do the precision adjustment threads work? — The precisely manufactured threads allow you to adjust ride height by simply screwing the shock body up or down without removing components, enabling fast setup changes in seconds. This feature is invaluable for competitive drivers who need to make suspension geometry adjustments between qualifying rounds or practice sessions.
- What's the difference between 16x41mm and other shock body sizes? — The 16x41mm dimensions represent the diameter and length of the shock body. These specific proportions are engineered to provide optimal suspension travel for ARRMA Infraction and LIMITLESS models, delivering the correct response characteristics for these vehicles. Using incorrect sizes would compromise ride height geometry and suspension performance.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shock bodies? — Installation requires only basic RC tools and mechanical knowledge. The precision threads mean no special tools are needed for ride-height adjustment — you simply rotate the shock body to your desired height, making adjustments fast and straightforward.
