Overview
The ARRMA Shock Tower Set Z-ARA320671 is an essential replacement component for owners of the ARRMA Gorgon 2WD monster truck platform. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running a brushed monster truck or someone new to the world of ready-to-run RC vehicles, having quality spare parts on hand is crucial for keeping your machine in top condition. This shock tower set represents genuine ARRMA engineering, designed specifically to fit the Gorgon MT range perfectly, ensuring reliability and durability during intense off-road bashing sessions.
The Gorgon is one of ARRMA's most popular 1/10 scale 2WD monster trucks, known for its robust construction and impressive performance characteristics. Shock towers are critical structural components that house your vehicle's suspension system and absorb the impacts encountered during aggressive driving on rough terrain. If your current shock towers have become damaged or cracked during high-speed runs, or if you simply want to maintain a spare set for extended RC sessions, the Z-ARA320671 offers an affordable and authentic solution that maintains the integrity of your Gorgon platform.
As a dedicated UK RC hobby retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine ARRMA parts to keep your RC car running at peak performance. Whether you're bashing on weekends or competing in local RC racing events, having access to quality replacement parts ensures your vehicle is always ready for action.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — The shock towers are manufactured from high-quality composite material that provides excellent durability and longevity, resisting the cracks and stress damage that can occur from hard impacts and aggressive driving on uneven terrain.
- Precision Manufactured — Each shock tower is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring a consistent fit with your existing Gorgon chassis and enabling straightforward servicing without frustrating compatibility issues.
- Integrated Body Mount Points — The design incorporates integrated body mounting points that allow secure attachment of your vehicle's body shell, maintaining structural integrity during fast runs and jumps.
- Integrated Shock Absorber Mounting Points — Purpose-designed mounting areas for your shock absorbers ensure proper suspension geometry and consistent performance, whether you're driving through mud, sand or rocky terrain.
- Front and Rear Configuration — The set includes both front and rear shock towers, allowing you to replace damaged components at either end of the vehicle or maintain a complete spare setup.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA spare part, this shock tower set maintains the authenticity and performance characteristics of your Gorgon monster truck.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Tower Set is engineered from durable composite materials specifically chosen for their balance of strength and weight. The composite construction provides excellent impact resistance, which is essential for 1/10 scale monster trucks that regularly encounter harsh off-road conditions. The precision manufacturing ensures that both the front and rear shock towers maintain exact dimensions and mounting hole placement, critical for proper suspension alignment and consistent handling characteristics. The integrated mounting points for both the body and shock absorbers mean that installation is straightforward and repeatable, reducing the risk of misalignment that could compromise your vehicle's performance. This is particularly important for Gorgon owners running the various configurations available in the ARRMA range, including the 550-brushed motor models with 2WD drivetrain and the different RTR variants. The shock tower assembly directly impacts your vehicle's ride height, suspension geometry and overall stability, making it a vital component for maintaining peak off-road performance across different driving surfaces and conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA Gorgon models is this shock tower set compatible with? — The Z-ARA320671 is compatible with the full range of ARRMA Gorgon 2WD monster trucks, including the Gorgon MEGA 550 2WD models in all colour variants (Gun Metal, Blue, Red, Purple), the standard Gorgon MT RTR models (Blue, Yellow, Red), and both the Ready-To-Assemble Kit versions. This makes it a versatile spare part for anyone with a Gorgon in their RC collection.
- Why would I need to replace my shock towers? — Shock towers can become cracked, split or bent after hard impacts, particularly if you enjoy aggressive bashing on rocky terrain or high-speed runs with significant jumps. Even hairline cracks can affect suspension alignment and overall vehicle performance. Having a replacement set ensures your Gorgon is always ready for action without performance compromises.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the shock tower replacement is suitable for beginners because the composite construction is forgiving to install and the integrated mounting points are clearly designed for straightforward assembly. Beginners maintaining their first ready-to-run RC car will find these parts easy to work with compared to more complex suspension components.
- Do I need any tools to install these shock towers? — Basic RC tools such as hex keys (Allen keys) will likely be required to remove mounting bolts and install the new shock towers. The specific tools needed depend on your Gorgon's configuration, but standard RC maintenance toolkits include everything necessary. The integrated design makes installation straightforward once you're familiar with basic RC maintenance.
- Can I use these for upgrades or custom builds? — These shock towers are designed as direct replacement parts for the Gorgon platform, so they are best used as replacements for damaged originals. If you're looking to significantly modify your vehicle's suspension geometry or performance characteristics, you may want to consult with experienced RC enthusiasts or check for aftermarket alternatives designed specifically for performance upgrades.
