Overview
The ARRMA Shock Spring Set E in stunning purple is an essential suspension tuning component designed specifically for 1/16 scale RC monster trucks. Whether you own an ARRMA GORGON GROM or QUAKE GROM, this precision-engineered shock spring set allows you to dial in your vehicle's handling characteristics within seconds, making it the perfect upgrade for anyone serious about optimising their RC car UK performance. These springs are manufactured from high-quality spring steel, ensuring consistent performance every single time you hit the track or trail, combined with the durability needed for serious bashers and weekend warriors alike.
If you're looking to fine-tune your ready to run RC monster truck, suspension upgrades are one of the most effective modifications you can make. Softer or stiffer springs dramatically alter how your vehicle responds to bumps, jumps and turns, which is why having multiple spring options on hand is essential for any RC enthusiast. The ARRMA Shock Spring Set E provides that flexibility, allowing you to experiment with different spring rates and find the sweet spot for your driving style, track conditions and vehicle setup. The eye-catching purple colour adds a touch of style to your suspension while maintaining the professional quality ARRMA is recognised for.
These springs come as a complete set of four units, ready to install across all four corners of your GROM chassis. For QUAKE GROM owners, this is the standard part specification, meaning it's the factory-recommended spring rate. For GORGON GROM users, it's an optional upgrade that opens up serious tuning possibilities. When combined with other suspension adjustments, these springs help you achieve the handling balance that transforms your RC driving experience.
Key Features
- Precision manufactured spring steel construction — Each spring is engineered from high-quality spring steel that maintains consistent performance throughout its lifespan, resisting fatigue and ensuring reliable, predictable handling no matter how many runs you complete.
- 0.50N/mm spring rate (3.14lb/in) — This medium spring rate offers a balanced suspension platform suitable for general bashing and moderate track use, providing enough compliance for rough terrain while maintaining control during aggressive driving.
- Purple colour for added style — Beyond function, these springs make a visual statement with their distinctive purple finish, allowing you to personalise your RC monster truck while maintaining professional aesthetics that look great on any GROM.
- Set of four springs — Complete suspension package with all four springs needed for full chassis coverage, eliminating the need for multiple purchases or mixing spring rates across your vehicle.
- Quick installation tuning — Changing springs takes only seconds, making it possible to test different setups mid-session and optimise your vehicle's handling without the need for complex tools or extended downtime.
- Compatible with GORGON GROM and QUAKE GROM — Designed specifically for 1/16 scale ARRMA GROM platforms, these springs integrate perfectly with your existing suspension geometry and mounting points.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Spring Set E represents precision engineering applied to suspension tuning for 1/16 scale RC vehicles. With a spring rate of 0.50N/mm (equivalent to 3.14lb/in), these springs deliver a medium compliance level that balances suspension travel with controlled dampening characteristics. The precision-manufactured spring steel construction ensures that each of the four springs maintains identical rate characteristics, eliminating inconsistencies that could cause uneven handling or unpredictable vehicle behaviour. Spring rate is one of the most critical suspension parameters in RC car performance, directly influencing how your chassis responds to bumps, landing impacts from jumps, and directional changes during cornering. A properly matched spring rate to your driving style and track conditions can mean the difference between a difficult-to-control vehicle and one that feels planted and responsive. The engineering behind these springs reflects ARRMA's commitment to suspension performance, with spring steel formulation designed to resist material fatigue even under repeated compression and extension cycles. This durability ensures your investment in these tuning parts will provide consistent performance across hundreds of runs, whether you're bashing on rough terrain, racing on prepared tracks, or exploring mixed-surface environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What spring rate should I choose for my GROM RC car? — Spring selection depends on your driving style, track surface and vehicle weight. The 0.50N/mm rate in this set is ideal for general-purpose bashing and is the standard specification for QUAKE GROM models, making it an excellent starting point. If you find your vehicle is too soft (wallowing in corners) or too stiff (bouncing excessively), you can experiment with alternative spring rates available in the ARRMA range.
- Are these springs compatible with both GORGON and QUAKE GROM models? — Yes, these springs are fully compatible with GORGON GROM models as an optional upgrade and come as the standard specification for QUAKE GROM vehicles. Both 1/16 scale models share the same suspension geometry, allowing these springs to install directly without modifications.
- How do I know if I need softer or stiffer springs? — If your vehicle feels too bouncy or unstable, stiffer springs may help. If it feels like the chassis is resting too low and bottoming out easily, softer springs could improve performance. Testing different spring rates during practice sessions is the best way to dial in your setup.
- Can I mix different spring rates on my RC truck? — While technically possible, mixing spring rates is generally not recommended as it can create handling imbalances. For optimal performance, keeping the same spring rate across all four corners is best practice.
- How long do shock springs last? — Quality springs like these ARRMA components should last for hundreds of runs. Spring fatigue occurs gradually over time, so if you notice reduced suspension performance after extensive use, springs may need replacement.
- Do I need any special tools to install these springs? — No, shock spring replacement is one of the simplest modifications you can perform on an RC car. Most installations require only your hands and possibly a small screwdriver depending on your specific shock mount design.
