- Pre-Trimmed for Perfect Fit — The body comes pre-trimmed from the factory, meaning it requires no modification or additional cutting before installation on your 1/10 scale RC truck, providing immediate compatibility and fast assembly.
- Protective Over-Spray Film — A protective film is included which shields the interior and critical areas during your custom painting process, allowing for fast and easy application of your chosen paint colours without worrying about overspray damaging sensitive components.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Granite 4X4 Clear Body represents professional-grade bodywork engineering for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Constructed from genuine polycarbonate, a material recognised throughout the RC hobby for its superior impact resistance and longevity, this bodyshell provides the perfect canvas for custom paint applications. The clear polycarbonate formulation allows the internal roll cage and structural elements to remain visible, which many RC enthusiasts prefer for aesthetic reasons whilst still providing complete paint customisation capability. The pre-trimmed design ensures immediate fitment without requiring modification, making the installation process quick and straightforward. The inclusion of window masks demonstrates attention to detail and professional engineering—these pre-cut vinyl masks are precisely sized to fit the body's window openings, eliminating guesswork during the masking stage and ensuring perfect paint lines. The decal sheet provided offers authentic ARRMA branding and graphics that complement whatever colour scheme you choose to apply. Build quality is exceptional throughout, with the polycarbonate engineered to withstand the impacts, vibrations and environmental conditions experienced during realistic RC off-road driving. The protective over-spray film included in the package shows that ARRMA understands the custom painting process and has engineered this product to make the job easier and more professional for users of all skill levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA vehicles is this clear body compatible with? — This clear body is designed specifically for ARRMA's 1/10 scale KRATON 4X4 models. The KRATON 4X4 4S RTR Brushless Speed Truck (model ARA4408V2) is documented as compatible, though it may also fit other ARRMA 1/10 scale 4WD vehicles with similar body mounting points. We recommend verifying compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- What type of paint do I need to use on this body? — You must use paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate. Regular hobby paints or automotive paints may not adhere properly to polycarbonate or could damage the material. Specialist polycarbonate RC body paints are widely available from RC retailers and are engineered to bond correctly whilst remaining flexible enough to move with the polycarbonate without cracking or peeling.
- Do I need any other equipment to customise this body? — Beyond polycarbonate paint, you will need basic painting equipment such as brushes, masking tape, or spray equipment. The window masks and protective film are included, so you won't need to source those separately. A spray booth or well-ventilated area is recommended for paint application, and you may want to invest in a body stand or holder to make painting easier.
- Is this a ready-to-run clear body or does it require assembly? — This is a pre-trimmed clear bodyshell that requires no modification before fitting to your compatible ARRMA vehicle. However, it is unpainted, so you will need to apply your chosen paint colours and allow proper drying time before use. Once painted, it installs as easily as any other RC body.
- What is the advantage of a clear body over a painted body? — Clear bodies allow complete customisation of colour and design to match your personal preference or team colours. They also allow the internal components and roll cage to remain visible, which many RC enthusiasts appreciate aesthetically. Additionally, if you damage the paint, you can repaint the body without needing to purchase a completely new one.
- How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is recognised as one of the most durable materials for RC bodies, offering superior impact resistance compared to standard plastic. It provides excellent protection for your vehicle whilst remaining lightweight, and it can withstand repeated impacts without cracking or shattering, making it ideal for aggressive off-road bashers who prioritise durability.
