Key Features
- Precision-Machined Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight aluminium rather than plastic or steel, these shock bodies reduce overall vehicle weight whilst maintaining exceptional strength and durability, which directly improves acceleration, handling and responsiveness of your RC car.
- Professional ARRMA Red Anodizing — The hard-anodized finish provides added protection against corrosion, impact damage and UV fading, whilst giving your suspension components that iconic ARRMA red aesthetic that RC enthusiasts worldwide recognise and respect.
- Precision Machined Threads — Carefully engineered threading allows for secure, repeatable attachment of shock caps and seal cartridges, ensuring your suspension components remain perfectly aligned and functional through countless runs, races and maintenance cycles.
- Optimised 15mm Bore Diameter — The 15mm internal bore is specifically designed for compatibility with ARRMA's suspension geometry and seal cartridges, providing the optimal balance between damping response, fluid retention and performance across different driving conditions.
- Compact 53mm Length — This length specification is engineered for ARRMA Kraton and Outcast models, ensuring perfect fitment, correct suspension geometry and reliable performance without modification or adaptation.
- 20mm External Diameter — The external dimensions are precisely calculated to work with ARRMA's suspension mounting points, shock towers and upper suspension arms, guaranteeing perfect integration with your existing platform.
- Pair of Two Units — Each package includes two complete shock bodies, allowing you to replace a full pair of shocks or maintain spares for your collection, which is essential for serious RC racers and enthusiasts.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Shock Body represents the intersection of lightweight engineering and professional-grade durability. Machined from high-quality aluminium rather than cast plastic alternatives, these components offer superior strength-to-weight ratio that directly impacts your RC car's performance across the board. The precision manufacturing ensures consistently tight tolerances, meaning perfectly centred damper movement with minimal friction loss. The 15mm bore has been specifically engineered for ARRMA's 1/10 scale suspension platform, accommodating standard seal cartridges and damper fluids with precision fit. The 53mm length integrates perfectly with ARRMA Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck and Outcast 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck platforms, maintaining correct suspension geometry and ride height. The hard-anodized red finish isn't merely cosmetic—it's a protective layer that resists corrosion from water, mud, salt spray and cleaning chemicals, making these shock bodies ideal for all-weather RC running in UK conditions. The machined threads ensure repeatable, secure attachment cycles without stripping, a critical factor for reliability in competitive racing environments. Whether you're running 4S LiPo-powered brushless speed or are planning extended bash sessions in challenging terrain, these shock bodies provide the structural foundation for consistent suspension performance and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are compatible with these 15 x 53mm shock bodies? — These shock bodies are direct replacement parts for the Arrma 1/10 Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck (available in standard grey and green variants), and the Arrma 1/10 Outcast 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck (available in gunmetal and red variants). They are specifically designed to fit the suspension geometry of these 4S brushless models.
- Are these shock bodies suitable for upgrading from plastic to aluminium? — Yes, these components are direct replacements for ARRMA's standard shock bodies on the Kraton and Outcast 4S V2 models. The precision engineering and identical dimensions ensure perfect fitment, and the aluminium construction provides improved durability for serious racers and bashers.
- What makes the aluminium construction better than plastic alternatives? — Aluminium offers significantly better strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic, meaning stronger components that won't flex under load, whilst actually reducing your vehicle's overall weight. This improves acceleration, handling response and battery efficiency, making it the preferred choice for competitive and dedicated RC enthusiasts across the UK.
- Do I need any additional parts to install these shock bodies? — These are bare shock body tubes only. You'll need compatible shock caps, seal cartridges and damping fluid to complete a functional shock assembly. They are designed as direct replacements for #ARA330720 assemblies, so existing components should be compatible.
- Why are the threads important on shock bodies? — The precision-machined threads ensure secure, repeatable attachment of your shock cap and seal cartridge without risk of stripping. This is critical for maintaining suspension alignment, damper function and reliability through countless runs and re-assembly cycles during maintenance.
- Are these suitable for high-speed running? — Absolutely. ARRMA's 4S brushless models are designed for high-speed performance, and these aluminium shock bodies provide the structural rigidity needed to handle aggressive acceleration, high-speed cornering and hard landings from jumps without deflection or failure.
- What is the 20mm external diameter and why does it matter? — The 20mm external diameter is precisely engineered to fit ARRMA's suspension mounting points and shock towers. This specification ensures correct fitment and suspension geometry alignment, which is critical for handling, stability and performance.
