Overview
The ARRMA Shock Set with 11mm bore and 70mm length is an essential replacement or upgrade component for RC enthusiasts maintaining their high-performance RC vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated competitor, a weekend basher, or someone exploring the exciting world of ready to run RC cars in the UK, having quality replacement shocks on hand is crucial for maintaining optimal suspension performance and ride quality. This assembled shock set represents genuine ARRMA engineering, designed to deliver consistent damping and reliable handling characteristics across a variety of driving conditions and terrains.
Built to exacting standards, this shock set arrives pre-assembled and pre-filled with 2000cSt shock oil, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly or fluid preparation. The shocks are ready to bolt directly onto your vehicle after you've selected and fitted your choice of springs, making them an ideal solution for drivers who need quick replacements without the fuss of complex setup procedures. The 70mm centre-to-centre length and 11mm diameter bore specification ensure compatibility with ARRMA vehicles engineered for this shock size, providing the perfect drop-in solution for maintaining consistent suspension geometry and performance characteristics.
These assembled shocks come complete with grey threaded shock collars that allow fine-tuning of vehicle ride height, giving you the flexibility to dial in your setup precisely to match your driving style and track conditions. Additionally, included bump stops help protect your suspension from harsh impacts and bottoming out, contributing to improved ride quality and longevity of your RC vehicle during aggressive driving sessions.
Key Features
- Pre-assembled and ready to install — These shocks arrive fully assembled without springs, saving you valuable time and eliminating assembly complexity so you can get back to driving faster.
- Pre-filled with 2000cSt shock oil — The shocks come pre-filled with professional-grade 2000 centistoke shock oil, providing immediate damping performance without the need for additional fluid setup or adjustment.
- 11mm diameter bore with 70mm length — The precisely engineered 11mm bore and 70mm centre-to-centre length ensure perfect fitment on compatible ARRMA vehicles whilst maintaining optimal suspension response and travel.
- 2-hole piston design with 1.3mm diameter holes — The dual 1.3mm piston holes are carefully sized to deliver consistent fluid flow and predictable damping characteristics during compression and extension cycles.
- Grey threaded shock collars included — These adjustable collars allow you to fine-tune your vehicle's ride height to suit different tracks, weather conditions, and personal driving preferences with precision adjustment.
- Included bump stops — Protective bump stops are fitted as standard, preventing your shocks from bottoming out during hard landings and jumps, protecting internal components and extending service life.
- High-quality materials and construction — Built using premium materials selected for durability and consistent performance, these shocks are engineered to withstand the demands of serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Shock Set represents precision suspension engineering designed for durability and consistent performance across diverse driving scenarios. With an 11mm bore diameter, these shocks offer an optimal balance between damping response and fluid displacement, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains predictable handling characteristics whether you're navigating a tight technical course, bashing through rough terrain, or competing at race level. The 70mm length specification places the shock at the ideal geometry for most ARRMA suspension designs, maintaining correct anti-squat, anti-dive, and ride height characteristics essential for balanced vehicle dynamics. The inclusion of 2000cSt shock oil pre-filled into each unit means immediate performance without the guesswork of oil selection, and this viscosity rating is carefully chosen to provide smooth damping action whilst remaining responsive to rapid suspension movements typical of modern RC driving. The two 1.3mm diameter piston holes represent a refined compromise between droop speed and compression damping, allowing sufficient fluid bypass for comfort whilst maintaining enough resistance for stability during aggressive manoeuvres. These are genuine ARRMA components manufactured to the same quality standards as original equipment fitments, making them reliable replacements when your existing shocks require servicing or if you're building additional complete vehicles. UK buyers appreciate quality suspension components that deliver consistent performance day after day, and this shock set is designed with that reliability in mind.
What's in the Box
- 2x Assembled Shock Absorbers (pre-filled with 2000cSt oil)

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks suitable for both on-road and off-road RC vehicles? — These shocks are designed as genuine ARRMA components, meaning they're engineered for the specific suspension geometry and performance requirements of ARRMA vehicles. Fitment compatibility should always be verified against your specific vehicle model before purchase.
- Do I need to add shock oil or are they ready to use? — These shocks arrive completely pre-filled with 2000cSt shock oil, so they're ready to bolt onto your vehicle immediately after you've selected and fitted your chosen springs. No additional fluid preparation is required.
- What does the 2000cSt oil viscosity mean? — The 2000 centistoke (cSt) rating indicates the thickness of the shock oil, which directly affects how quickly the shock absorber compresses and extends. This viscosity is carefully selected to provide balanced damping for typical RC driving conditions.
- Can I adjust the ride height with these shocks? — Yes, the included grey threaded shock collars allow you to adjust vehicle ride height by screwing the collars up or down the shock body, providing fine-tuning capability to match different track conditions or driving preferences.
- Are bump stops really necessary? — Bump stops are included as standard because they prevent your shocks from bottoming out completely during hard landings and rough terrain, which protects the internal shock components and significantly extends the lifespan of your suspension system.
- How do I know if these shocks will fit my ARRMA vehicle? — These shocks feature an 11mm bore and 70mm centre-to-centre length and are designed for ARRMA vehicles requiring these specifications. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing, as different ARRMA vehicles may use different shock sizes.
- What is the difference between this shock set and aftermarket alternatives? — As genuine ARRMA components manufactured to original equipment specifications, these shocks guarantee perfect fitment and performance characteristics matched to ARRMA suspension geometry. They use premium materials and the pre-filled 2000cSt oil is factory-selected for optimal performance with ARRMA vehicles.
