ARRMA MINI KRATON 3S Precision Rear Shock Absorbers 74mm MAKM074R by GPM  [MAKM074R]

Precision rear shock replacement for Mini Kraton 3S

This kit provides alloy-bodied rear shock absorbers made for the ARRMA 1/16 MINI KRATON 3S platform. The 74mm centre-to-centre aluminium bodies are filled with 500cSt silicone oil to deliver a repeatable starting point for suspension setup.

Components focus on easy servicing and measured tuning. Bleeder screws are fitted to ease air and oil removal during maintenance, and threaded spring preload adjusters let you alter ride height and initial spring compression without taking the shock apart. The 3.0mm shock shafts supplied increase shear stiffness relative to the stock 2.5mm shafts, reducing flex under load at this scale.

The pack includes two springs: a fitted black 1.2mm wire spring to maintain stock characteristics and a spare silver 1.3mm wire spring for an increased rate that reduces rear-end squat. These options allow quick changes to traction and handling by swapping springs or adjusting preload.

Installation advice: intended as rear replacements for shocks with a 74mm centre distance. Apply thread-lock when reusing metal fasteners, and bleed the shocks after filling to remove trapped air for consistent damping performance.

For model builders and racers seeking a metal-bodied rear shock that is easy to service and tune for the 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S, this set offers beefier shafts, bleeder valves and an alternative spring to refine rear balance without major chassis changes.
