These shocks work seamlessly with the Arrma 1/18 Granite Grom, Arrma 1/16 Mojave Grom, and related models, making them one of the most versatile suspension upgrades available for Arrma's small-scale platform. The aluminium construction ensures consistent performance in all weather conditions, whether you're bashing on grass, dirt, or tarmac around the UK.

Key Features

• Aluminium Construction — Machined from high-quality aluminium material, these shocks provide superior strength and rigidity compared to plastic stock alternatives, ensuring they can handle the demands of aggressive driving without bending or cracking, whilst also offering a premium aesthetic upgrade to your RC truck.
• Four-Piece Set — The set includes all four shocks needed to fully upgrade your vehicle's suspension system, allowing you to replace the complete stock shock setup in one convenient package rather than purchasing individual shocks.
• Red Anodised Finish — The vibrant red anodised coating not only provides a striking visual upgrade that looks professional and purposeful, but also offers protection against corrosion and wear, helping the shocks maintain their appearance and performance over extended use.
• Wide Compatibility — Designed specifically to fit multiple Arrma small-scale models including the Granite Grom, Mojave Grom, and related variants, ensuring you're getting shocks perfectly engineered for your specific vehicle.
• Performance Upgrade — Upgrading to aluminium shocks significantly improves suspension response, reduces body roll during cornering, and enhances overall vehicle stability, giving you noticeably better handling compared to stock plastic shocks.
• Durable Engineering — Built to withstand repeated impacts, jumps, and rough terrain, these shocks are designed for long-term reliability and consistent performance across numerous bashing sessions.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax aluminium shock set represents a significant step up from the plastic stock shocks found on standard Arrma Grom-series vehicles. Manufactured using precision-machined aluminium, these shocks deliver superior structural integrity and reduced flex during hard cornering and aggressive manoeuvres. The anodised red finish provides corrosion resistance, ensuring the shocks maintain their performance and appearance even after exposure to moisture and dirt typical of RC driving in the UK. The engineering is specifically tailored to the suspension geometry of compatible Arrma models, meaning they integrate perfectly with the existing chassis and mounting points without requiring modifications. By upgrading to aluminium shocks, drivers experience improved suspension articulation, better weight distribution, and more predictable handling characteristics—all of which translate to faster lap times and more enjoyable driving sessions. The shocks work in conjunction with your vehicle's existing suspension components to provide consistent damping and support across varied terrain, from smooth tarmac to rough grass and dirt tracks. For RC enthusiasts serious about tuning their Arrma small-scale trucks, this upgrade represents one of the most effective and cost-efficient suspension modifications available.
