Key Features
- Black Anodised Aluminium Construction — The black anodised finish not only delivers a stealth, professional appearance that looks fantastic on any RC model, but the anodised coating also protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear whilst reducing overall vehicle weight compared to steel alternatives, contributing to improved performance and handling characteristics.
- Precision Manufactured Adjustment Threads — These shock bodies feature precision-engineered adjustment threads that enable fast and easy ride-height tuning in seconds, allowing you to dial in your suspension geometry quickly without requiring specialist tools or extensive dismantling, making field adjustments practical and straightforward.
- 4mm Shock Shaft Compatibility — Designed specifically for use with 4mm shock shafts, these bodies ensure proper fitment and alignment with ARRMA's suspension systems, guaranteeing consistent performance and eliminating compatibility issues that can compromise handling.
- Long-Lasting Durability — The combination of premium aluminium construction and anodised surface treatment creates shock bodies built to withstand repeated impacts, thermal stress, and harsh racing conditions, delivering reliability through countless running sessions whether you're bashing in the park or competing at track events.
- Stealth Aesthetic Design — Beyond function, the black finish delivers a sleek, understated appearance that complements any RC vehicle colour scheme, giving your model a professional, competition-ready look that stands out amongst casual hobbyists.
Technical Performance
These ARRMA Shock Body components represent the engineering excellence expected from a manufacturer dedicated to high-performance RC vehicles. The 16x62mm dimensions provide a substantial shock unit suitable for medium to larger-scale RC models, whilst the aluminium material selection balances strength with weight reduction—a critical consideration in RC performance where every gramme matters for acceleration, braking response, and overall handling dynamics. The black anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates a hard, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, significantly improving resistance to corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and the general wear associated with regular use. This engineering approach ensures these shock bodies maintain their performance characteristics over extended periods, resisting the degradation that can occur with untreated aluminium exposed to outdoor elements common in UK RC hobby environments. The precision-manufactured adjustment threads represent manufacturing to tight tolerances, ensuring repeatable, reliable tuning adjustments that remain consistent across multiple adjustment cycles, critical for maintaining suspension geometry integrity throughout a competition season or extended bashing sessions. Compatibility with standard 4mm shock shafts ensures these bodies integrate seamlessly into ARRMA's established suspension ecosystem, allowing users to benefit from a wealth of aftermarket options and proven setups developed by the RC community.
