FAQ

What vehicles fit ARRMA ARAC8983 / AR330496? ARRMA's official fitment information identifies the TALION 6S and TALION 6S EXB. For other vehicles, confirm that the shock assembly specifically requires part AR330496.

How many shock shafts are included? Each package contains two steel shock shafts measuring 4mm in diameter and 61mm in length.

Are these front or rear shock shafts? The 4x61mm shafts are associated with the front shock assemblies of certain TALION 6S versions. Confirm the required shaft part number against your vehicle's parts diagram before installation.

Are ARAC8983 and AR330496 the same part? Yes. AR330496 is the ARRMA manufacturer part number, while ARAC8983 is the corresponding Horizon Hobby orderable reference.

Will these fit every ARRMA 6S model? No. ARRMA 6S vehicles can use different shock shaft lengths and shock assemblies. The 6S designation alone does not guarantee compatibility.

What is the difference between AR330496 and AR330497? AR330496 is a 4x61mm shock shaft, while AR330497 is a longer 4x71.5mm shock shaft. They are not interchangeable unless the relevant shock assembly explicitly permits it.

Are these genuine ARRMA parts? Yes. This is a genuine ARRMA replacement part listed under manufacturer number AR330496 and Horizon Hobby reference ARAC8983.

Does this pack include complete shocks? No. It contains two steel shock shafts only. Shock bodies, springs, pistons, rod ends, seals and oil are not included.

When should I replace a shock shaft? Replace a shaft if it is bent, deeply scratched, corroded or causing binding or seal damage. A damaged shaft can affect suspension movement and contribute to oil leakage.

Do I need to refill the shock oil after replacing the shaft? Shock shaft replacement generally involves opening and rebuilding the shock absorber. Refill and bleed the shock according to the manufacturer's service instructions using suitable silicone shock oil.

Can I use these shafts with 3mm shock bodies? No. These shafts are 4mm in diameter and require shock bodies and sealing components designed for 4mm shafts.
