This aftermarket shock cap protector is a scale RC accessory designed to protect the shock cap and surrounding shock tower area on ARRMA Talion 6S EXB platforms. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum, it focuses on abrasion and impact resistance to reduce wear on the shock cap during aggressive off-road running.
The part is listed to replace factory part number AR330492 and references ARAC8965 in supplier listings. The item is supplied as a pair, package includes 2pcs, intended for use on the listed ARRMA 1/7 and 1/8 models.
Installation is straightforward for experienced model technicians: remove the wheel and access the shock assembly, remove the original cap or fasteners as required, fit the protector over the cap area, then reassemble. The protector is a mechanical safeguard and does not alter damping or internal shock tuning; it helps keep the shock cap and tower serviceable for longer under repeated impacts.
