Key Features
- Pre-Painted Blue Finish — The body arrives fully painted in an eye-catching blue colour scheme, eliminating the need for you to paint it yourself and delivering professional results immediately upon opening the box.
- High-Quality Polycarbonate Construction — Manufactured from strong and flexible polycarbonate material, this body offers exceptional durability whilst remaining lightweight, which is crucial for maintaining performance on your brushless RC vehicle.
- Aggressive Aerodynamic Styling — The advanced design features aggressive body lines and aerodynamic contours that generate downforce at high speeds, improving stability and cornering performance during high-speed bashings and racing.
- Factory-Applied Decal Sheet — Decorated with high-quality factory decals for added detail and realism, the body comes fully detailed so you don't need to apply decals yourself, ensuring a professional appearance every time.
- Pre-Trimmed for Fast Fitting — The bodyshell arrives pre-trimmed to fit your chassis, eliminating tedious cutting work and allowing you to install it in minutes rather than hours, making it perfect for quick body swaps.
- Pre-Drilled Body Post Holes — Factory-drilled mounting holes mean you can attach the body to your posts without any additional drilling or measuring, ensuring correct alignment and a secure fit.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Kraton 6S Finished Body is engineered specifically for the KRATON 6S BLX platform, delivering optimised aerodynamics and styling for this popular 1/8 scale brushless electric truggy. The polycarbonate material chosen by ARRMA provides the perfect balance between durability and flexibility—rigid enough to maintain its shape during high-speed driving and impacts, yet flexible enough to absorb shock without cracking or shattering. At 1/8 scale, this body provides the right proportions and visual impact for the larger KRATON 6S chassis, which is renowned for its powerful brushless motor system and performance-oriented suspension geometry. The pre-trimmed and pre-drilled design demonstrates ARRMA's commitment to user convenience, allowing owners to spend less time on preparation and more time driving. The blue colour finish is applied using ARRMA's professional paint facilities, ensuring consistent colour matching and durability that withstands UV exposure and the demands of outdoor RC driving. This bodyshell is designed to work with the existing body clip retainers on your KRATON 6S, though some pre-2019 models may require additional mounting hardware as specified in the requirements list.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this Kraton 6S body pre-painted and ready to use? — Yes, absolutely. This is a finished body that arrives fully painted in blue with factory-applied decals already in place. Unlike clear polycarbonate bodies that require painting, this body is ready to mount straight onto your chassis without any painting work required.
- What scale is the ARRMA Kraton 6S body? — This is a 1/8 scale body, designed specifically for the ARRMA KRATON 6S BLX platform. The 1/8 scale size makes it larger and more visually impressive than 1/10 scale models, providing more realistic proportions and better visibility during driving.
- Will this body fit my KRATON 6S model? — This body is designed for KRATON 6S BLX models. The pre-trimmed design and pre-drilled holes match the standard KRATON 6S chassis configuration. However, if you own a pre-2019 specification KRATON, you may need to purchase additional body post sets and mounts (AR320357 and AR320365) to ensure proper fitment.
- What body clips and mounting hardware do I need? — You will need AR390178 Body Clip Retainers (1/8 scale, 4 pieces) to secure the body to your chassis. If your KRATON is a pre-2019 model, you'll also require AR320357 Body Post Set and AR320365 Body Post Mounts for proper installation.
- Is the polycarbonate body durable for off-road driving? — The polycarbonate material used in ARRMA's bodyshells is specifically chosen for durability and flexibility. It's strong enough to withstand impacts and the rigours of off-road bashings, yet flexible enough to absorb shock without cracking, making it ideal for regular RC use in the UK.
- Can I repair or repaint this body if it gets damaged? — Yes, polycarbonate is repairable and can be repainted if necessary. However, the factory finish is quite durable and designed to withstand extended outdoor use. If you do need to repaint it, polycarbonate-safe paint and preparation techniques should be used.
- Why choose a finished painted body over a clear one? — A finished painted body like this one saves you the time, effort, and expense of painting and decalling yourself. It arrives looking professional and authentic, with properly matched colours and factory-quality decals. If you prefer customisation or want to paint your own scheme, a clear body would be the alternative.
