Key Features
- Pre-painted with exclusive EXB matte and gloss trim scheme — The body arrives fully painted in ARRMA's signature two-tone finish combining matte black with gloss accents, eliminating the need for you to spend hours masking, spraying and clear-coating. This professional factory paint job gives your truck an immediately impressive appearance straight out of the box.
- Strong and flexible polycarbonate material for long-lasting performance — The polycarbonate construction provides the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, absorbing impacts and minor collisions without cracking or shattering like cheaper plastic alternatives. This material science approach means your body will survive countless bashes and crashes whilst maintaining structural integrity.
- Aggressive classic truck styling for awesome looks — The ARRMA Outcast design features bold, muscular proportions with authentic truck-inspired bodywork that turns heads on the track or trail. The aggressive stance and detailed panel lines give the truck a purposeful, high-performance appearance that reflects its serious off-road capabilities.
- Decorated in high quality decals for added detail and realism — Factory-applied premium decals bring authentic branding, model badging and detail graphics to the body, creating a comprehensive finished appearance. These decals are professionally applied at the factory to ensure perfect alignment and longevity, adding realism that hand-applied stickers simply cannot achieve.
- Pre-trimmed for fast and easy fit — The body arrives with all windows, light buckets and openings already cut and trimmed to factory specifications. This saves you hours of painstaking trimming work and ensures perfect alignment with your chassis, getting your truck back on the road in minutes rather than hours.
- Pre-drilled body post holes for fast and easy mounting — Factory pre-drilled mounting points mean you can simply bolt the body onto your existing chassis without measuring, drilling or risk of misalignment. This precision engineering guarantees a perfect fit every single time, with proper body-to-chassis alignment maintained automatically.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX is engineered as a premium 1/8 scale brushless electric off-road truck that delivers serious performance credentials. This body is manufactured from quality polycarbonate material specifically chosen for its durability and flexibility in demanding RC applications. At 1/8 scale, the Outcast represents a substantial platform with impressive ground clearance and body volume, making it ideal for both competitive racing and recreational bashing across varied terrain. The polycarbonate construction ensures the body can withstand the high-speed impacts and rough handling typical of brushless 6S LiPo powered trucks, which deliver extremely rapid acceleration and dynamic performance. The pre-painted EXB scheme uses multi-stage automotive-grade finishes combined with factory-applied decals to create a professional appearance that rivals full-size vehicles. The pre-trimmed design ensures precise fitment with your Outcast 6S BLX chassis, maintaining proper aerodynamics and airflow to the motor and ESC cooling systems during high-performance driving sessions. With ARRMA's reputation for engineering excellence, this bodyshell is designed to integrate perfectly with the Outcast's 6S brushless drivetrain and deliver consistent, reliable performance season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body compatible with my ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX? — Yes, this is the genuine factory replacement body specifically designed for the ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX. It comes pre-drilled with correctly positioned body post holes and is trimmed to factory specifications, guaranteeing perfect fitment on your chassis without modification.
- What tools do I need to install this body? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. You'll need a screwdriver or hex driver to secure the body post mounting hardware, and potentially some body glue or clips depending on your preferred mounting method. The pre-trimmed design eliminates the need for cutting or drilling.
- Can I paint or customise this body myself? — Absolutely. While the body arrives fully painted and decorated, you can apply additional custom paint schemes, vinyl wraps or decal modifications if desired. The polycarbonate material accepts standard RC body paint and custom decals very well, allowing you to create a truly unique appearance.
- How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is the industry standard for RC bodies because it offers superior impact resistance compared to cheaper plastics. It flexes rather than cracks under stress, absorbing energy from collisions and minor impacts. This material has been proven through decades of RC use to outlast alternatives whilst maintaining its appearance and structural integrity.
- What makes this better than a clear body shell? — This pre-painted and decaled body arrives completely finished and ready to mount, eliminating the time-consuming painting, masking and decal application steps required with clear shells. You get professional factory paint quality, perfectly aligned decals, and authentic ARRMA styling immediately, allowing you to get driving faster and enjoy superior aesthetics without additional effort.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement body shell intended for users who already own an ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX truck. It assumes you have the complete vehicle and understand basic RC maintenance. If you're new to RC and need a complete ready to run truck package, you should purchase a full ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX RTR kit instead.
- How long does this body last? — With proper care, this polycarbonate body will last for years of regular bashing and racing. The flexible material resists cracking from impacts, and the factory paint finish is applied with automotive-grade processes for durability. Eventually, sustained high-speed crashes or repeated heavy impacts may require body replacement, but typical weekend bashers can expect years of reliable service.
