FAQs
What material are the Arrma Shock Rod Ends HD made from?
These rod ends are precision manufactured from a high-quality composite material, designed for enhanced durability.
How do I know if this part fits my Arrma car?
You should refer to your specific Arrma vehicle's user manual or check the exploded views and parts lists on the official Arrma-RC website to confirm compatibility using the part number AR330409.
Are these rod ends suitable for all Arrma RC cars?
These are designed as specific replacement parts. Compatibility must be verified for your particular Arrma model. They are not universally compatible with all Arrma vehicles.
What is the main advantage of the 'HD' designation?
The 'HD' stands for Heavy Duty, indicating that these rod ends are engineered with increased strength and durability to withstand more demanding use and impacts compared to standard versions.
Can I use aftermarket lubricants with these composite rod ends?
It's best to avoid harsh solvents or lubricants that might degrade the composite material. A light application of a suspension lubricant compatible with plastics may be acceptable, but always check manufacturer recommendations if available.
How often should I inspect these rod ends?
It's recommended to inspect them before each driving session, or at least periodically, for any signs of wear, cracks, or excessive looseness, especially after hard impacts or rough terrain use.
Troubleshooting
Rod ends feel too tight or stiff after installation.
Ensure the rod ends are not over-tightened. Loosen them slightly until the shock moves freely. Check for any debris caught in the threads during installation.
Shock absorber feels loose or has excessive play.
Verify that the rod ends are securely fastened to both the shock body and the suspension arm. Check if the ball joint within the rod end is worn; if so, the rod end may need replacement.
Rod ends appear to be wearing out quickly.
Ensure you are using the correct HD variant for your driving conditions. Inspect for misaligned suspension components or excessive impacts that could be contributing to premature wear. Cleanliness during installation is also key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: It is crucial to verify that the Arrma Shock Rod End Set HD (AR330409) is compatible with your specific Arrma vehicle model. Refer to your vehicle's user manual or the official Arrma-RC website for exploded views and part number cross-references. Always use genuine Arrma parts to ensure proper fit and function.
Setup: Installation involves replacing existing shock rod ends. Typically, this requires unscrewing the old ends and screwing in the new HD ends. Ensure they are tightened appropriately without over-tightening, which could damage the threads or composite material. Consult your vehicle's manual for detailed shock assembly instructions.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, periodically inspect the rod ends for any signs of wear, cracks, or excessive play. Clean them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or lubricants that could degrade the composite material. If damage is found, replace the affected rod end immediately using genuine Arrma parts.
