Overview
The ARRMA Shock Set 11mm Bore, 109mm Length, 2x1.3mm Piston, 500cSt Oil (Z-ARA-2372) is a premium replacement suspension component designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their RC car UK setups. Whether you're maintaining a high-performance brushless RC short course truck or stadium truck, or simply looking to refresh your suspension after extensive bashing, this assembled shock set delivers the quality and precision that ARRMA is renowned for in the RC hobby community. These shocks come ready to bolt straight onto your vehicle, making them an ideal choice for both experienced RC racers and dedicated weekend bashers who want genuine, manufacturer-approved parts.
As a complete shock assembly kit, this product represents excellent value for money and eliminates the guesswork when it comes to suspension replacement. The set includes everything you need for a professional-level setup, with multiple preload spacers allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's ride height and handling characteristics to suit your specific driving style and terrain. If you're operating a ready to run RC truck or stadium truck and want to maintain peak performance, investing in genuine ARRMA suspension components like this shock set is a decision that will pay dividends in longevity, consistency, and on-track performance.
The 109mm length and 11mm bore specifications are engineered specifically for compatibility with select ARRMA 1/10 scale models, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal damping characteristics. Pre-filled with 500cSt silicone shock oil, these shocks arrive fully assembled and ready for installation, saving you valuable setup time and eliminating the hassle of manual oil filling.
Key Features
- Assembled and Ready to Install — Both shock absorbers arrive completely assembled and pre-filled with quality 500cSt silicone shock oil, meaning you can simply unbolt your old shocks and install these new ones without any additional preparation, assembly, or maintenance work required.
- Pre-filled with 500cSt Silicone Shock Oil — The medium-viscosity 500cSt silicone shock oil provides balanced damping characteristics suitable for general-purpose RC driving, offering excellent responsiveness on both smooth tracks and rough off-road terrain whilst maintaining consistent performance across varying temperatures and driving conditions.
- Complete Preload Spacer Selection — The set includes eight preload spacers in four different sizes (2x15mm, 2x7mm, 2x5mm, and 2x3mm), allowing you to precisely dial in your vehicle's ride height and suspension geometry to match your preferred driving style, whether that's aggressive racing or smooth general-purpose driving.
- Clip-on Spring Preload Adjusters — Quick-adjust clip-on spring preload adjusters are included for convenient fine-tuning of vehicle ride height without needing to disassemble the shock assembly, enabling rapid setup changes between heats or driving sessions.
- High-Quality Materials and Construction — Manufactured using premium materials and precision engineering, these shocks are built to withstand the demands of competitive racing and intensive bashing, delivering durability and consistent performance across extended driving sessions.
- Compatible with Premium ARRMA Models — These shocks are engineered for seamless compatibility with multiple ARRMA 1/10 scale brushless 4WD models, including the SENTON 223S BLX short course truck and VORTEKS 223S BLX stadium truck, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set represents the pinnacle of suspension design for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. With an 11mm bore diameter and 109mm total length, these shocks deliver the precise geometric specifications required for optimal performance in the SENTON 223S BLX and VORTEKS 223S BLX platforms. The 2x1.3mm piston configuration is engineered to provide responsive damping characteristics whilst maintaining stability through high-speed cornering and aggressive landings. The 500cSt silicone shock oil strikes an excellent balance between bump absorption and rebound speed, making these shocks equally at home on smooth asphalt racing circuits or rough outdoor terrain. The assembled construction ensures that critical components like piston rods, seals, and damping channels are perfectly aligned from the factory, eliminating potential fitment issues that can arise from home assembly. The inclusion of four different spacer sizes (15mm, 7mm, 5mm, and 3mm) provides unprecedented flexibility in ride height adjustment, allowing you to optimise your vehicle's geometry for different track layouts, weather conditions, and driving intensities. Whether you're setting up for competitive racing or casual bashing, the ability to adjust preload ensures your shocks will perform at their absolute best.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are these shocks compatible with? — These shocks are specifically engineered for compatibility with the ARRMA 1/10 SENTON 223S BLX brushless 4WD short course truck (available in red, yellow, and blue/purple colour options) and the ARRMA 1/10 VORTEKS 223S BLX 4x4 stadium truck (available in red, purple, and teal colours). If you own either of these brushless RC models, these shocks will provide a direct replacement with perfect fitment and performance.
- Do I need to fill these shocks with oil before installing them? — No, these shocks arrive pre-filled with 500cSt silicone shock oil, so they are ready to bolt directly onto your vehicle without any additional preparation. This saves you time and eliminates the mess associated with manual shock oil filling.
- What does the 500cSt viscosity mean? — The cSt (centistoke) measurement indicates the thickness or viscosity of the shock oil. 500cSt is a medium viscosity that provides balanced damping performance suitable for general-purpose RC driving, offering good response to bumps whilst preventing excessive oscillation. Thicker oils (like 700cSt) provide more damping for smoother terrain, whilst thinner oils provide quicker rebound for aggressive driving.
- How do I adjust the ride height using the preload spacers? — The included clip-on spring preload adjusters allow you to add spacers between the spring and the adjustment clip. By selecting different spacer sizes or combining multiple spacers, you can gradually adjust your ride height to suit your preferences. More spacers compress the spring more, lowering the vehicle and stiffening the suspension.
- What is the difference between the 11mm bore and other shock sizes? — The 11mm bore is the internal diameter of the shock cylinder. This specific size is engineered specifically for the SENTON 223S BLX and VORTEKS 223S BLX platforms to provide optimal damping force and suspension travel. Using the correct bore size ensures proper piston fit and consistent damping performance.
- Can I use different viscosity oils in these shocks? — Whilst these shocks arrive pre-filled with 500cSt oil, you can drain and refill them with different viscosity oils if you want to fine-tune damping characteristics for specific driving conditions. However, for most users, the factory 500cSt oil provides excellent all-round performance.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these shocks are an excellent choice for beginners because they arrive fully assembled and pre-filled, requiring no technical knowledge to install. The included preload spacers make it easy to experiment with suspension setup without specialist tools or knowledge. Simply unbolt your old shocks and bolt these in place.
