Overview
The ARRMA Ball 3x6.8x6.75mm (2pcs) Z-ARA340199 is an essential suspension spare part for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and durability from their high-performance machines. These precision-engineered balls are manufactured by ARRMA, a recognised leader in performance RC vehicles, and are specifically designed to maintain the critical suspension geometry of some of the fastest and most demanding RC cars on the market today. Whether you're a weekend basher pushing your RC monster truck to its limits, a competitive racer fine-tuning your setup, or an experienced RC hobbyist maintaining your fleet, having quality replacement suspension balls is absolutely essential to keeping your vehicle performing at its best.
Suspension balls are fundamental components in modern RC car design, serving as the critical connection points between the suspension arms and chassis. These tiny but mighty components endure enormous forces during aggressive driving, high-speed running, and extreme stunts. The ARRMA Ball 3x6.8x6.75mm replacement pack ensures that your RC vehicle maintains precise suspension alignment and smooth articulation, which is essential for handling, stability, and overall performance. When suspension balls wear out or become damaged, suspension geometry changes, leading to unpredictable handling, uneven tyre wear, and potential vehicle damage. That's why keeping genuine ARRMA spare parts on hand is a smart investment for any RC car UK enthusiast who wants to maximise uptime and minimise downtime.
This two-pack of replacement balls offers excellent value and ensures you have spares ready for maintenance or repairs. ARRMA is trusted by RC racers and bashers worldwide for delivering components that match factory specifications and deliver consistent, reliable performance. By choosing genuine ARRMA parts from RC Model Shop, you're choosing quality, authenticity, and peace of mind.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Ball 3x6.8x6.75mm suspension components represent precision engineering at its finest. With dimensions of 3mm diameter with a 6.8 x 6.75mm overall specification, these balls are designed to fit perfectly into the suspension arms and chassis mounting points of compatible ARRMA RC vehicles. The strong steel material construction provides the durability needed to withstand the repeated impacts, cornering forces, and suspension articulation that occur during both competitive racing and recreational bashing. Steel construction offers superior wear resistance compared to plastic alternatives, meaning these suspension balls will maintain their shape and smooth operation through hundreds of driving sessions. The tight tolerances maintained during manufacturing ensure that your RC vehicle's suspension alignment remains consistent, which directly translates to predictable handling characteristics, even tire wear, and improved overall vehicle control. For RC car UK enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance, genuine ARRMA spare parts like these balls are an investment in maintaining your vehicle at peak operating condition.
