As an authorised ARRMA dealer, RC Model Shop is proud to stock this genuine component, ensuring you receive authentic parts that meet manufacturer specifications. The precision manufacturing process guarantees that each spring performs consistently, eliminating variables that could affect your vehicle's handling and allowing you to develop confidence in your setup and your driving.
Key Features
- Precision manufactured spring steel construction — Each shock spring is engineered from high-quality spring steel, ensuring they maintain their stiffness and performance characteristics over extended periods of use, even with regular bashing and racing sessions.
- 0.50N/mm spring rate specification — The 0.50N/mm (equivalent to 2.86lb/in) spring rate is optimised for 1/16 scale GROM platform vehicles, providing the correct balance between ride comfort and handling response for a wide variety of driving conditions and surfaces.
- Complete set of four springs — This package includes four shock springs, providing a full suspension refresh for your ARRMA GROM monster truck or buggy, with one spring for each corner of your vehicle.
- Vibrant red colour — The distinctive red finish adds visual appeal and style to your RC car's suspension components, matching the aggressive aesthetic of the GROM platform.
- Instant handling adjustment — By replacing your existing shock springs with a different rate or refreshing worn springs, you can dramatically alter your vehicle's handling characteristics without requiring complex tools or technical expertise, making this an ideal upgrade for UK RC enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Consistent performance across all four corners — Because all four springs are supplied together as a matched set, you ensure symmetrical suspension geometry and balanced vehicle behaviour, which is essential for predictable handling and competitive performance.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Spring Set E is engineered to deliver reliable suspension performance for 1/16 scale GROM vehicles. With a spring rate of 0.50N/mm (2.86lb/in), these springs provide an ideal balance of suspension travel and stability for the GROM platform. The precision manufacture from spring steel ensures that the springs maintain consistent performance characteristics throughout their service life, resisting fatigue and deformation that can occur with lower-quality components. The red colour is applied with durable finishes to maintain appearance even with regular use. These springs are compatible with both the ARRMA 1/16 GORGON GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck and the 1/16 QUAKE GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck, making them a versatile suspension upgrade option. Spring rate is critical to vehicle setup — stiffer springs increase body roll stiffness and reduce suspension travel, improving handling responsiveness on smooth surfaces, whilst softer springs increase suspension compliance and maintain better traction on uneven terrain. The 0.50N/mm rate represents a proven balance point for the GROM platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA vehicles are these shock springs compatible with? — These ARRMA shock springs are designed for the 1/16 scale GROM platform, specifically fitting the ARRMA 1/16 GORGON GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck and the ARRMA 1/16 QUAKE GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck models. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle model matches one of these two compatible platforms.
- What does the 0.50N/mm spring rate mean? — The spring rate of 0.50N/mm (Newton per millimetre) is a measurement of spring stiffness. This specific rate is optimised for 1/16 scale GROM vehicles and represents the force required to compress the spring by one millimetre. A stiffer spring rate (higher N/mm value) will reduce suspension travel and improve cornering response, whilst a softer spring rate will increase suspension compliance for better traction on bumpy terrain.
- Why would I need to replace my shock springs? — Shock springs can lose their stiffness over time due to repeated compression cycles, harsh impacts, and general wear. Replacing worn springs restores your vehicle's original handling characteristics and allows you to experiment with different spring rates to optimise your RC car for specific driving conditions, whether you prefer a stiffer setup for speed courses or softer springs for technical terrain.
- How difficult is it to replace the shock springs on my GROM? — Shock spring replacement is one of the simplest suspension modifications you can perform, requiring no special tools or technical expertise. Most GROM owners can complete all four springs in just a few minutes, making this an excellent upgrade for anyone looking to tune their RC car without complex mechanical work.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are genuine ARRMA components manufactured to official specifications. RC Model Shop is an authorised ARRMA dealer, ensuring that all parts you purchase are authentic and meet the manufacturer's quality standards.
- Can I mix different spring rates on my vehicle? — Whilst it's technically possible to use different spring rates on different corners, it will create asymmetrical suspension characteristics that can make your vehicle unpredictable and difficult to drive. For optimal performance, we recommend using matched sets of springs with the same rate on all four corners.
