Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminum Shock Body 11x58mm represents professional-grade suspension engineering designed to handle the demands of modern RC racing and recreational use. With an 11mm internal bore and 58mm length, these shock bodies are engineered to work seamlessly with ARRMA's suspension cartridge systems, providing consistent damping and response across a wide range of driving conditions. The 15mm external diameter provides optimal structural rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that doesn't add unnecessary weight to your chassis. The precision manufacturing process ensures tight tolerances and concentricity, which translates to smooth, consistent shock operation and predictable vehicle behaviour whether you're cornering at speed, navigating rough terrain, or launching off jumps. The anodized aluminium construction strikes the perfect balance between weight savings and durability—critical factors in RC racing where every gram counts and components must withstand repeated impacts and stress cycles. These shock bodies are manufactured to work as a direct replacement for the specified ARRMA models, ensuring drop-in compatibility without modifications or adjustments to your existing setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the ARRMA Aluminum Shock Body 11x58mm used for? — These shock bodies are replacement components for ARRMA RC vehicles' suspension systems. They house the shock cartridge and seal assembly, forming the core structural element of your suspension that absorbs impacts and provides damping during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Over time, shock bodies can become worn, dented, or damaged from crashes, making replacement necessary to maintain proper suspension performance.
- Which ARRMA models are these shock bodies compatible with? — These shock bodies are a direct replacement for part #ARA330678, so they are designed to fit ARRMA vehicles that use this specification. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
- Are these shock bodies suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are genuine ARRMA replacement parts that any RC enthusiast can install. However, shock body installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and tools such as a screwdriver or hex key. If you're unsure about installation, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance, or you may prefer to have them installed by someone with RC experience.
- Will these shock bodies improve my RC car's performance? — If you're replacing worn or damaged shock bodies, installing these new ones will restore your vehicle to its designed suspension performance, improving handling consistency, responsiveness, and overall driving experience. If your current shock bodies are still in good condition, upgrading won't provide a performance boost, but keeping spares ensures you're never sidelined by suspension damage.
- How durable are anodized aluminium shock bodies? — Anodized aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion, oxidation, and physical wear, making it an excellent choice for RC components that are repeatedly exposed to dirt, moisture, and impact forces. The anodized coating extends the lifespan of the aluminium significantly compared to bare metal, helping maintain both performance and appearance over extended use.
- Can I use these on other RC brands? — These are ARRMA-specific components designed for ARRMA suspension systems. Using them on other brands could result in improper fit, misalignment, and poor suspension performance. Always ensure you're using the correct parts for your specific RC vehicle manufacturer.
