The gunmetal aluminium construction provides an excellent balance of strength and lightweight design, crucial for maintaining optimal handling characteristics on your RC buggy or truck. By choosing this genuine ARRMA component from an authorised UK retailer, you're investing in parts that have been engineered specifically for your vehicle's suspension geometry and performance characteristics.
Ready to bolt on immediately, this shock set eliminates the need for time-consuming assembly and oil filling, allowing you to get back to enjoying your RC driving experience without delays. The included components are manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring compatibility with your ARRMA GROM 1/14 scale vehicle and delivering the consistent performance you've come to expect from ARRMA suspension technology.
Key Features
- Four Assembled Aluminum Shock Absorbers — This set includes four fully assembled shocks, providing complete front and rear suspension coverage for your 1/14 scale RC vehicle, eliminating the need to purchase individual components separately and saving time on assembly and tuning.
- Pre-filled with 2000cSt Silicone Shock Oil — Each shock arrives pre-filled with 2000cSt viscosity silicone oil, a medium-weight damping fluid that provides an excellent balance between responsiveness and stability, making these shocks suitable for a variety of driving conditions without requiring additional oil purchases or refilling.
- High-Quality Aluminium Construction — The shock bodies are manufactured from premium aluminium, offering superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to plastic alternatives, whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that doesn't negatively impact your vehicle's performance or handling characteristics.
- Threaded Spring Preload Adjusters — Each shock features precision-threaded spring preload adjustment mechanisms, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness to match your driving style, track conditions, and personal handling preferences without requiring additional tools or replacement components.
- Ready to Bolt On Installation — These shocks arrive fully assembled and pre-filled, requiring no additional preparation or assembly work, allowing you to install them directly onto your RC vehicle and begin driving immediately without spending hours on workshop preparation.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA suspension part, this shock set is engineered to the exact specifications required by ARRMA designers, ensuring perfect compatibility, reliable fitment, and performance consistency with your GROM vehicle's suspension system.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminum Shock Set represents a significant advancement in RC suspension technology for 1/14 scale vehicles. The 58mm length specification has been precisely calculated to work with the GROM's suspension geometry, providing optimal wheel travel and maintaining the correct centre of gravity for balanced handling dynamics. The 2000cSt silicone oil viscosity is particularly important for suspension performance; this medium-weight oil provides adequate damping to prevent excessive bouncing whilst remaining responsive enough to allow the suspension to follow terrain changes quickly, making it ideal for both on-road and off-road RC driving scenarios. The aluminium construction significantly outperforms plastic shock bodies in terms of durability and heat dissipation, crucial factors when pushing your RC car UK through demanding driving sessions. Threaded preload adjusters enable micro-adjustments to spring compression, allowing you to optimise your vehicle's stance and handling characteristics without replacing springs. The four-shock configuration ensures symmetrical suspension tuning across all four wheels, maintaining balanced weight distribution and predictable handling. For UK RC enthusiasts who take their hobby seriously, these shocks deliver the engineering quality and performance consistency that separates a properly maintained vehicle from one with worn components. The gunmetal anodised finish resists corrosion and oxidation, important in the UK's damp climate, extending the lifespan of these components compared to uncoated alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this shock set compatible with my ARRMA GROM RC vehicle? — Yes, the ARRMA Aluminum Shock Set, 58mm Length, 2000cSt Oil is specifically engineered for ARRMA GROM 1/14 scale vehicles, including the TYPHON GROM 223S BLX 4×4 models in all colour variants. This set provides direct replacement functionality for your existing shocks or serves as an upgrade from standard kit-supplied components.
- Do I need to add oil to these shocks, or do they come ready to use? — These shocks arrive pre-filled with 2000cSt silicone oil, meaning you can bolt them directly onto your RC vehicle without any additional preparation, assembly, or oil filling required. This ready-to-use design saves significant time and ensures consistent oil viscosity across all four shocks.
- What does the 2000cSt oil viscosity mean, and how does it affect my RC car's handling? — CSt (centistokes) measures the thickness of the shock oil; 2000cSt is considered a medium-weight damping fluid. This viscosity provides balanced suspension response—firm enough to control bouncing and maintain stability during aggressive driving, yet responsive enough to allow the suspension to absorb bumps and terrain variations without feeling harsh or overly stiff.
- Can I adjust the ride height on these shocks? — Yes, each shock features threaded spring preload adjusters that allow you to modify the ride height by adjusting spring compression. This enables you to fine-tune your vehicle's stance and suspension geometry to match your preferred handling characteristics and driving conditions without purchasing new springs.
- Why choose aluminium shocks over plastic alternatives? — Aluminium construction offers superior durability, better heat dissipation during extended driving sessions, and improved corrosion resistance—particularly valuable in the UK's climate. Aluminium shocks maintain their performance characteristics longer than plastic versions and provide more consistent damping over extended use periods.
- Are these shocks suitable for off-road RC driving? — Absolutely. The 2000cSt oil viscosity and 58mm length are optimised for varied terrain, providing adequate damping to handle both smooth surfaces and rough, rocky conditions. The adjustable spring preload allows you to tailor the suspension to your specific driving environment, whether you're running your RC buggy on tracks, fields, or mixed terrain.
