Overview
The ARRMA Shock Tower Set: MINI is an essential replacement component for owners of ARRMA's 1/16 scale Mini Kraton 3S brushless RC monster truck. Whether you're an experienced basher who demands reliable spare parts or a dedicated RC enthusiast looking to keep your vehicle in peak condition, this precision-engineered shock tower set offers the durability and fit quality you need. As an authorised ARRMA dealer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM parts that guarantee compatibility and performance with your RC car UK setup.
Shock towers are critical structural components that support your vehicle's suspension system and absorb the impact forces generated during aggressive driving. The ARRMA Mini shock tower set comprises both front and rear units, manufactured to exacting standards to ensure consistent fit and straightforward servicing. When your existing shock towers become damaged from high-impact bashing or simply require replacement after extensive use, this OEM kit restores your brushless RC monster truck's suspension geometry and handling characteristics to factory specifications.
This replacement part is ideal for competitive drivers, weekend bashers, and anyone who takes their 1/16 scale RC off-road experience seriously. By keeping genuine ARRMA spare parts in your workshop, you ensure that repairs and maintenance work can be completed quickly and confidently, minimising downtime and maximising your driving enjoyment.
Key Features
- Tough composite material construction — The shock towers are manufactured from durable composite material that provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your vehicle maintains optimal weight distribution and handling performance even during aggressive bashing sessions.
- Precision manufactured for consistent fit — Each shock tower is engineered to exact tolerances, guaranteeing seamless compatibility with your ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S and delivering the same handling characteristics as the original factory-installed components.
- Easy servicing design — The straightforward mounting arrangement and included hardware allow you to replace damaged shock towers quickly without requiring special tools or extensive mechanical knowledge, keeping your ready to run RC truck on the track or trail.
- Complete mounting hardware included — The set arrives with eight M2.5x16mm cap head screws, providing everything necessary for full installation without the need to source additional fasteners from other suppliers.
- Front and rear shock tower pair — This set includes both front and rear shock tower assemblies, allowing you to address suspension damage comprehensively rather than patching individual components.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Tower Set: MINI is engineered specifically for the 1/16 scale Mini Kraton 3S brushless platform, a high-performance machine designed for rapid acceleration, responsive handling and aggressive terrain navigation. The composite material selected for these shock towers offers an excellent balance between rigidity and impact absorption, characteristics essential for a vehicle powered by brushless electric motors and 3S LiPo batteries that deliver substantial power and speed. The precision manufacturing process ensures that replacement towers maintain the factory-designed suspension geometry, preserving the suspension travel, roll centres and anti-roll bar performance that ARRMA's engineers calibrated for optimal handling. When shock towers become cracked, bent or damaged—whether from impacts with obstacles, high-speed crashes, or the cumulative stress of repeated bashing—replacement with genuine OEM components restores structural integrity and eliminates safety concerns that damaged suspension mounts could introduce. The included M2.5x16mm cap head screws are specifically matched to the shock tower mounting points, ensuring secure fastening and preventing loosening during vigorous driving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this shock tower set compatible with my ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S? — Yes, the ARRMA Shock Tower Set: MINI is designed specifically for the ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S brushless models, including the standard red variant (C-ARA2508T1) and the battery and charger-included versions in teal (C-ARA2508ST2) and blue (C-ARA2508ST1). All variants share the same chassis and suspension mounting points, ensuring perfect fitment.
- What is a shock tower and why would I need to replace it? — Shock towers are structural chassis components that support your vehicle's suspension system and shock absorbers. They absorb impact forces during jumps, crashes and aggressive bashing. Over time, or after significant impacts, these towers can crack, bend or break. Replacement restores suspension geometry and maintains safe, predictable handling characteristics for your ready to run RC truck.
- Will replacing my shock towers affect the handling of my Mini Kraton? — Genuine OEM ARRMA replacement parts maintain the factory-engineered suspension geometry and characteristics that your vehicle was designed around. Installing authentic shock towers ensures your Mini Kraton performs identically to the original factory setup, with no compromises to handling, ground clearance or suspension travel.
- How difficult is it to install these shock towers? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools and mechanical knowledge. The mounting points are clearly defined, and the included M2.5x16mm cap head screws provide everything needed for secure fastening. Most users can complete replacement in under 30 minutes, making this an ideal DIY maintenance task for owners who prefer to service their own vehicles.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM ARRMA components manufactured to factory specifications. RC Model Shop is an authorised ARRMA retailer, guaranteeing that all parts are authentic, carry full manufacturer support and meet ARRMA's quality standards. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and performance compared to aftermarket alternatives.
- What should I do if my shock towers are damaged? — Inspect the damage carefully. If the towers are cracked, bent or broken, replacement is the safest option to maintain proper suspension function and vehicle stability. Even minor damage can affect handling precision and may worsen under continued driving stress.
