ARRMA is a recognised leader in the RC industry, and their genuine parts maintain the same quality standards as their complete ready-to-run RC vehicles.
C-clips, also known as snap rings or circlips, are fundamental fastening components used throughout RC vehicles to secure shafts, axles, and other components.

By choosing genuine ARRMA C-clips, you're investing in the longevity and safety of your RC models. Whether you're running an ARRMA Outcast 4X4 8S brushless stunt truck or any other compatible ARRMA model, having the correct replacement clips ensures your vehicle performs at its best and remains roadworthy through countless hours of driving enjoyment.

- Pack of Four Clips — You receive four individual clips per pack, giving you spare parts for immediate replacement needs and future maintenance, which is ideal for keeping your RC hobby running without downtime.
- Universal Compatibility — These clips are designed to work with ARRMA's range of models, including the Outcast 4X4 8S BLX brushless stunt truck and other compatible ARRMA RC vehicles available in the UK market.
- Affordable Spare Parts Solution — As a simple but essential hardware component, C-clips represent excellent value for money compared to replacing entire subassemblies or damaged components.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA C Clip, 15mm is engineered from durable spring steel material designed to provide reliable retention of rotating shafts and axles within your RC vehicle's drivetrain and suspension systems. The 15mm diameter specification indicates the bore size for which these clips are designed, and the C-shaped profile creates the necessary spring tension to hold components securely without over-constraining them. ARRMA's manufacturing process ensures consistent material properties and precise dimensional tolerances, which are critical for reliable performance in the high-vibration environment of RC vehicles. Unlike generic clips that may be slightly undersized or oversized, these genuine ARRMA clips maintain the exact specifications required for your vehicle. The spring steel composition allows for repeated removal and installation without permanent deformation, though clips should be replaced if visibly damaged or if they no longer maintain firm tension. Whether you're running a bashable RC model for casual weekend fun or a more competition-focused setup, reliable hardware clips prevent the catastrophic failures that can occur when components separate mid-run.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a C-clip and why does my RC car need them? — C-clips, also called snap rings or circlips, are retaining rings that hold axles, shafts, and other components in place on your RC vehicle. They're installed in a groove at the end of a shaft and prevent components from sliding off during operation. Without functioning C-clips, drivetrain components can separate, causing loss of power, steering failure, or suspension malfunction.
- How do I know if my C-clips need replacing? — Inspect your clips regularly during maintenance. If they appear visibly bent, have lost their spring tension, or are missing entirely, they need replacement. Signs of clip failure include loose wheels or suspension components that move excessively or rattle.
- Are these clips compatible with all ARRMA models? — These 15mm C-clips are specifically designed for ARRMA applications where 15mm diameter shafts require retention. The ARRMA Outcast 4X4 8S BLX is confirmed as compatible, but compatibility varies by model. Always verify the clip size specified in your vehicle's parts diagram or maintenance manual.
- Can I use generic C-clips instead of genuine ARRMA parts? — While generic clips may appear similar, genuine ARRMA clips are precisely engineered to exact specifications for your vehicle. Using incorrect clips can result in poor fitment, inadequate retention, or unexpected failures. For reliable performance and peace of mind, genuine parts are always recommended.
- How many clips should I keep in stock? — The pack includes four clips. For regular maintenance and occasional repairs, this provides good backup. If you run multiple RC vehicles or participate in frequent racing events, consider keeping multiple packs on hand to minimise downtime.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, understanding C-clips and their replacement is part of basic RC maintenance that all enthusiasts, including beginners, should learn. Installing or replacing a C-clip is a straightforward process that requires only basic tools and minimal mechanical experience.
