Overview
The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 Shock Collar Spacer 10mm Extended is a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for Arrma Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S RC vehicles. This high-quality aluminium component represents a significant performance enhancement for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive bashers alike. Whether you're running your Arrma 8S on the track, in the garden, or at the local RC club, these shock collar spacers deliver measurable improvements to suspension geometry and handling characteristics that will transform your driving experience.
Manufactured from aerospace-grade Alu7075 aluminium through precision CNC machining, these spacers extend your shock collars by 10mm compared to the stock components. This seemingly small dimensional change has profound effects on your vehicle's performance, altering the suspension's mounting geometry to provide better weight distribution, improved traction, and enhanced stability during aggressive driving. For UK RC car enthusiasts looking to squeeze every ounce of performance from their Arrma Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S, this is an essential upgrade that separates weekend bashers from serious competitors.
Priced competitively at just £21.00, these shock collar spacers represent exceptional value for money and are a cost-effective way to dramatically improve your RC experience without requiring complex installation or specialist tools. Each kit contains four spacers – one for each of your vehicle's shock absorbers – ensuring complete suspension coverage and balanced performance all around.
Key Features
- Premium Alu7075 Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from aerospace-grade Alu7075 aluminium alloy, these shock collar spacers offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring they will withstand the rigours of aggressive RC driving and maintain their precision for years to come.
- 10mm Extended Length — The spacers extend 10mm beyond the stock shock collar dimensions, which alters the suspension geometry to improve traction, weight transfer, and overall handling characteristics, particularly during cornering and acceleration.
- Precision CNC Machined — Every spacer is manufactured using advanced CNC machining processes to deliver exact tolerances and perfect dimensional accuracy, ensuring flawless fitment and consistent performance across all four units in the kit.
- Complete Four-Piece Kit — The package includes four spacers, providing a complete upgrade for all four shock positions on your Arrma 8S, ensuring balanced suspension geometry and symmetrical handling improvements.
- Multiple Colour Options — Available in Silver, Black, and Red, allowing you to choose the finish that complements your vehicle's aesthetic whilst enjoying the same performance benefits regardless of colour choice.
- Direct Stock Shock Compatibility — These spacers are specifically designed to fit Arrma's stock shock absorbers without requiring any modification or additional components, making installation straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Alu7075 Shock Collar Spacer represents a sophisticated approach to suspension tuning for high-performance 1/8 scale RC vehicles. Alu7075 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy renowned for its exceptional strength and lightweight properties, making it the material of choice for precision RC components where weight savings and durability are paramount. The 10mm extension to the shock collar geometry directly impacts your suspension's centre of gravity, roll characteristics, and weight transfer behaviour during dynamic driving situations. This geometric modification improves traction during acceleration by altering the suspension's anti-squat characteristics, whilst the extended geometry enhances cornering stability by optimising the suspension's anti-roll properties. The precision CNC machining ensures that each spacer maintains exact dimensional tolerances, critical for ensuring all four shocks work in perfect harmony. For Arrma Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S owners running on demanding terrain or in competitive environments, this suspension geometry adjustment can mean the difference between a competent setup and a championship-winning platform. The upgrade works seamlessly with your existing stock shock absorbers, requiring no additional ESC upgrades, battery modifications, or motor changes – simply bolt them on and experience immediately noticeable improvements in handling consistency and driving confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these shock collar spacers fit my Arrma Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S? — Yes, these VITAVON spacers are specifically engineered for compatibility with both the Arrma Kraton 8S (ARA110002BT1 and ARA110002BT2 variants) and Arrma Outcast 8S (ARA5810B and ARA5210B variants). They work directly with your vehicle's stock shock absorbers without requiring any additional modifications or separate components.
- What performance improvements will I notice after installing these spacers? — The 10mm extension to your shock collar geometry will noticeably improve traction, cornering stability, and weight transfer characteristics. You'll experience better acceleration feel, more confidence during aggressive cornering, and improved overall handling consistency. The suspension will work more harmoniously because the geometry better matches the demands of the 8S platform.
- Do I need any special tools to install these shock collar spacers? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. You'll need to remove your existing shocks, slide these spacers onto the shock body in place of your stock collars, and reinstall. If you're comfortable performing basic RC maintenance tasks, installation is well within your capability.
- Are these spacers durable enough for serious bashing and racing? — Absolutely. These spacers are manufactured from aerospace-grade Alu7075 aluminium through precision CNC machining, making them exceptionally durable and resistant to the wear and tear of aggressive driving. They're designed for competitive use and serious bashers who demand reliability alongside performance gains.
- Which colour should I choose between Silver, Black, and Red? — The colour choice is purely aesthetic and does not affect performance. Choose whichever finish matches your vehicle's livery and personal preference. All three colours are manufactured to identical specifications and tolerances.
- How many spacers do I need? — This kit contains four spacers, which is exactly the right quantity for a complete upgrade of all four shock positions on your Arrma 8S. You don't need to buy multiple kits unless you have more than one vehicle to upgrade.
- Do these spacers work with upgraded or aftermarket shocks? — These spacers are specifically designed for Arrma's stock shock absorbers. Compatibility with aftermarket or upgraded shocks may vary depending on the specific product. We recommend checking with the spacer manufacturer or your shock supplier to confirm fitment before purchasing if you're running non-standard shocks.
