The 700cSt silicone shock oil provides the perfect balance of responsiveness and control, making this shock set suitable for both competitive racers and weekend bashers who want to maintain their RC truck's performance without compromise. The inclusion of multiple preload spacers means you can fine-tune your vehicle's ride height and suspension characteristics to suit your driving style and track conditions.
For UK RC hobbyists seeking a genuine, authorised ARRMA replacement component, this shock set represents excellent value and peace of mind. It's manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original parts supplied with ARRMA ready to run RC vehicles, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
Key Features
- 11mm Bore Diameter — The 11mm bore size is precisely engineered to provide consistent damping and smooth suspension response, ensuring your RC car handles predictably whether you're cornering on a track or bashing over rough terrain.
- 87mm Length — This specific length is optimised for ARRMA vehicles in this class, providing the correct suspension travel and geometry to maintain proper chassis attitude and handling characteristics.
- 2x1.3mm Piston Configuration — The dual 1.3mm piston design delivers refined damping control with excellent small-bump sensitivity and mid-stroke stability, allowing your RC truck to absorb impacts smoothly whilst maintaining traction.
- 700cSt Silicone Shock Oil — Pre-filled with premium 700cSt silicone oil, this shock set arrives ready to use straight from the box with no mixing or preparation required, saving you time and ensuring precise damping characteristics.
- High-Quality Materials — Constructed using durable, precision-engineered materials, these shocks are built to withstand the demands of competitive racing and aggressive bashing without premature wear or failure.
- Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install — Both shock absorbers come fully assembled, eliminating the need for complex shock building or tuning—simply bolt them onto your vehicle and you're ready to drive.
- Clip-On Spring Preload Adjusters — Included preload spacers allow you to adjust your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness with ease, enabling fine-tuning for different track surfaces and driving conditions without tools or complicated procedures.
- Multiple Preload Spacer Options — The set includes 2x 8mm, 2x 7mm, 2x 5mm and 2x 3mm shock preload spacers, giving you comprehensive adjustment options to optimise your suspension setup.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set 11mm Bore, 87mm Length represents the engineering excellence that defines ARRMA's approach to suspension components. The 11mm bore diameter provides the optimal balance between damping power and responsiveness for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. The 87mm length ensures proper suspension geometry and travel for the compatible models in ARRMA's range. The 2x1.3mm piston configuration is a critical specification—this dual-piston design allows independent control of compression and rebound damping, meaning your suspension can be tuned precisely to handle both high-speed racing and impact-heavy bashing. The 700cSt silicone oil viscosity is specifically formulated to provide smooth, consistent damping across a wide temperature range, which is essential for maintaining predictable handling whether you're racing in summer heat or winter conditions. The materials used throughout the shock construction—including the shock body, pistons and internal components—are selected for durability and precision fit, ensuring these shocks will provide years of reliable service whether you're a competitive racer or a recreational basher. The pre-assembly means quality control is guaranteed straight from the factory, eliminating variables that can arise from home shock assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models is this shock set compatible with? — This shock set is compatible with the ARRMA 1/10 SENTON 223S BLX Brushless 4x4 Short Course Truck RTR (all colour variants including Red, Yellow, and Blue/Purple), and the ARRMA 1/10 VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Stadium Truck (Yellow, Pink, and Blue variants). Check your vehicle's documentation or contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- Why should I replace my shocks with this ARRMA genuine part? — Original equipment shocks can wear out through use, particularly the internal seals and damping oil, leading to reduced responsiveness and poor handling. Replacing them with genuine ARRMA shocks restores your vehicle's original suspension performance and ensures you're using components engineered specifically for your RC truck model.
- What does the 700cSt silicone oil do? — The 700cSt (centistoke) rating indicates the viscosity of the shock oil. This specific viscosity provides a good balance between responsiveness and damping control for general-purpose use. Thicker oil provides more damping (slower suspension response), whilst thinner oil allows faster suspension movement. The 700cSt specification is ideal for a variety of driving conditions.
- How do the preload spacers work and why are there so many? — The preload spacers adjust the initial compression of the shock spring, which changes your vehicle's ride height and suspension stiffness. By stacking different combinations of the included 3mm, 5mm, 7mm and 8mm spacers, you can fine-tune your setup to suit different track surfaces, weather conditions, and your personal driving style without needing to purchase additional parts.
- Are these shocks difficult to install on my RC vehicle? — No, installation is straightforward. These shocks are designed to bolt directly onto the shock mounts on your ARRMA vehicle. You'll need basic tools and a few minutes to remove the old shocks and secure the new ones. No complex adjustments are needed before first use.
- Can I use these shocks on a brushless RC truck? — Yes, these shocks are compatible with brushless RC short course trucks and stadium trucks from ARRMA's 1/10 scale range, including brushless-powered models. The shocks themselves are independent of the motor system—they only affect suspension damping and handling.
- What is the difference between 700cSt oil and other oil weights? — ARRMA makes shocks available with different oil weights ranging from 100cSt to 2000cSt. The 700cSt weight in this set is a mid-range viscosity suitable for general use. Lighter oils (100-300cSt) are better for fast, responsive suspension on smooth surfaces, whilst heavier oils (1000-2000cSt) provide more damping control on rough terrain and for slower, planted handling.
- How long do these shocks last? — With proper maintenance and occasional oil checks, these shocks should last many months to years depending on how frequently you use your RC vehicle. Over time, the seals can wear and the oil may need replenishing, but the core components are durable and long-lasting with normal use.
