Technical Performance
This EXB Painted, Decaled & Trimmed Body is engineered as a direct fitment for the ARRMA KRATON 6S BLX platform, one of the most capable brushless 1/8 scale RC trucks available. The polycarbonate construction provides the durability required for high-performance electric RC vehicles, withstanding the stresses of aggressive driving whilst maintaining its structural integrity through repeated impacts and collisions. At 1/8 scale, this body offers substantial presence and visibility on the track or field, whilst the polycarbonate material ensures flexibility that prevents shattering even during hard impacts. The bodyshell's wheelbase of 377mm (14.84 inches) has been optimized for the KRATON 6S platform, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the vehicle's balance and handling characteristics. The pre-painted finish eliminates colour variation and finish defects that can occur with hand-painting, delivering a consistent, professional appearance that matches ARRMA's quality standards. The matte and gloss trim scheme creates visual depth and sophistication, enhancing the aggressive styling whilst complementing the KRATON's performance heritage.
