Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC vehicles are compatible with these shock caps? — These shock caps are specifically designed for ARRMA 4X4 and 2WD models including the FURY 223S BLX brushless short course truck (green and blue RTR variants), the GORGON MT range (RTR, ready-to-assemble kit, and brushed MEGA 550 variants in yellow, blue, red, purple and gun metal finishes), and the QUAKE 223S DSC brushless monster truck series (green, red and purple colours). Always verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
- How often should I replace my shock caps? — Shock caps are wear items that should be inspected regularly for cracks, discolouration or separation from the shock body. In typical weekend bashing conditions, expect to replace them every 6-12 months depending on intensity of use and terrain conditions. Competitive racers and serious bashers may require more frequent replacement due to higher impact stresses.
- What is the purpose of shock caps on an RC vehicle? — Shock caps seal the top of your shock absorbers, preventing mud, water, dust and debris from entering the internal shock assembly where they could damage seals, degrade the shock oil, and compromise suspension performance. They also provide impact protection to the delicate shock top-out spring and internal components, extending the overall lifespan of your suspension system.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-ARA330828 shock caps are genuine original equipment manufacturer parts from ARRMA, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and quality standards of parts supplied with new ARRMA vehicles. Purchasing OEM spares guarantees perfect fit and reliable performance.
- Can I use aftermarket shock caps instead? — Whilst aftermarket options may exist, genuine ARRMA parts like these Z-ARA330828 caps are precision-engineered for perfect fitment and are the recommended choice for maintaining your vehicle's suspension performance and reliability.
- Why buy shock caps as a spare when my vehicle is new? — Having spare shock caps on hand is practical spare parts management, particularly if you're an active RC enthusiast who drives regularly. Caps can crack or separate during impacts, and having replacements ensures you can get your vehicle back on the track quickly without downtime waiting for parts to arrive.
