Key Features
- Strong and durable steel construction — These shock shafts are manufactured from high-quality steel that provides exceptional strength and longevity, ensuring they can handle the intense forces and impacts experienced during high-performance RC driving without bending, breaking, or losing their integrity over time.
- Precision manufactured threads — The threads on these shafts have been precisely engineered to ensure fast and easy servicing, allowing you to quickly disassemble and reassemble your shock absorbers without stripping threads or dealing with frustrating assembly issues that waste valuable track time.
- Polished shaft finish — The polished surface treatment on each shaft promotes plush shock absorber action by reducing friction and resistance, which translates to smoother suspension response and more predictable handling characteristics that make your RC car more controllable and enjoyable to drive.
- 3mm thickness specification — The 3mm diameter thickness is engineered for optimal balance between strength and flex characteristics, providing the right amount of rigidity without being so stiff that suspension feel becomes harsh or unresponsive to track conditions.
- 61mm length — This specific length has been designed to work seamlessly with ARRMA suspension systems, ensuring perfect fitment and proper shock stroke without binding or excessive play that could compromise performance.
- Genuine OEM components — As official ARRMA parts, these shock shafts meet exact factory specifications and quality standards, giving you confidence that you're installing parts that will work perfectly with your specific RC model.
- Pair of two shafts included — Each purchase includes two shock shafts, providing a complete pair for dual-shock setups and eliminating the need to make multiple purchases when performing suspension maintenance or repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock shafts compatible with my ARRMA RC car? — These shafts are specifically designed as spare parts for the #ARA330677 shock assembly. Check your ARRMA model documentation to confirm whether your vehicle uses this shock system, or contact our team at RC Model Shop for compatibility assistance with your specific RC car model.
- Why would I need replacement shock shafts for my RC car? — Shock shafts can become bent or damaged through intense driving, crashes, or normal wear over extended periods of use. Replacing damaged shafts restores your suspension to proper working condition, ensuring your RC vehicle handles smoothly and predictably. Even without visible damage, upgrading to quality OEM shafts can improve shock performance if you're upgrading or maintaining an older vehicle.
- Will these shafts improve my RC car's handling? — If your current shafts are bent or worn, upgrading to these precision-engineered ARRMA shafts will restore proper suspension geometry and function, which directly improves handling responsiveness and consistency. The polished finish also contributes to smoother shock action compared to unfinished or corroded shafts.
- How difficult is it to replace shock shafts on an RC car? — Replacing shock shafts is a moderately straightforward maintenance task that requires basic tools and some RC knowledge. The precision-manufactured threads on these shafts make disassembly and reassembly easier than with lower-quality alternatives, though if you're new to RC maintenance, consulting your model's manual or watching installation guides is recommended.
- What tools do I need to install these shock shafts? — Installation typically requires basic hand tools including hex wrenches and possibly a shock tool, depending on your specific ARRMA model. Refer to your vehicle's instruction manual for exact tool requirements and installation procedures specific to your RC car.
- Can I use these shafts on other RC car brands? — These shafts are specifically engineered for ARRMA's #ARA330677 shock system and are not designed for other manufacturers' suspension systems. Using them on incompatible shocks could result in poor fitment and performance issues.
- Do these come as a pair or individually? — This product includes two shock shafts, providing a complete pair. This is the standard configuration for most RC vehicles, which use two shocks in their suspension setup.
