Key Features
- Precision-manufactured aluminium construction — These shock bodies are crafted from lightweight aluminium, which reduces overall vehicle weight and contributes to improved handling dynamics and acceleration in your RC car UK. The material selection ensures strength without unnecessary bulk.
- Anodised ARRMA red finish — The distinctive red anodised coating serves dual purposes: it provides added durability and corrosion resistance to protect against the elements, whilst also delivering the authentic ARRMA look that collectors and enthusiasts appreciate on their RC vehicles.
- Machined threads for reliability — These shock bodies feature precision-machined threads designed for secure attachment of the shock cap and seal cartridge, ensuring a tight, reliable fit that won't loosen during aggressive RC driving or bashings.
- Genuine OEM spare part — As an official ARRMA component (part number Z-ARA330667), these shock bodies maintain 100% compatibility with ARRMA RC models and guarantee authentic performance without compromise.
- Pair pack for convenience — The package includes two aluminium shock bodies, providing convenient replacement for both sides of your vehicle's suspension or allowing you to keep spares for future maintenance.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Shock Body 11x51mm represents engineering excellence in RC suspension components. With an 11mm bore diameter and 51mm length, these shock bodies fit specifically within ARRMA's suspension architecture, delivering consistent performance across their vehicle range. The 15mm external diameter provides optimal clearance and structural stability within the suspension bay of compatible RC models. The precision-manufactured design ensures that shock cap and seal cartridge attachment points maintain perfect alignment, critical for consistent suspension geometry during high-speed RC car runs. The aluminium material offers the perfect balance between weight reduction and structural rigidity—essential for absorbing impacts during bashings whilst maintaining the precise suspension response that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The anodised finish isn't merely cosmetic; it provides a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from moisture, dirt, and salt exposure, making these shock bodies suitable for both dry and damp UK RC driving conditions. Whether you're running your RC car on loose terrain, in wet weather, or during extended track sessions, these components maintain their integrity and performance characteristics. The lightweight design contributes to improved vehicle dynamics, helping reduce unsprung mass which positively impacts acceleration, braking response, and overall handling precision.
