Overview
The ARRMA Finished Body, TLR Tuned Pink/Purple for the TYPHON is a premium pre-painted polycarbonate body shell designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand both style and performance. This high-quality replacement body delivers the distinctive aggressive styling that the TYPHON platform is renowned for, combined with advanced aerodynamic performance that translates to improved handling at high speeds. Whether you're upgrading your existing RC buggy or rebuilding after a crash, this finished body offers the perfect blend of durability, aesthetics, and engineering excellence that ARRMA is recognised for across the UK RC community.
Finished to race specification by TLR Tuned, this 1/8 scale buggy body comes completely pre-painted and decalled, eliminating the need for time-consuming painting and finishing work. The eye-catching pink and purple colour scheme delivers striking visual appeal both on the track and at the bash site, whilst the pre-trimmed design ensures you can get your TYPHON back on the road faster than ever. For RC car UK enthusiasts seeking a ready-to-fit solution that combines professional quality with convenience, this is an ideal choice.
This body is specifically engineered for compatibility with the ARRMA TYPHON 6S platform, making it a perfect match for owners of either the V5 BLX or the TLR Tuned 6S 4WD BLX variants. The polycarbonate construction provides the strength and flexibility needed to withstand the demands of high-performance electric RC buggy racing, whether you're tackling dusty tracks or challenging terrain.
Key Features
- Strong and Flexible Polycarbonate Material — The body is constructed from quality polycarbonate that combines impact resistance with the flexibility needed to absorb shocks and minor collisions, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection for your RC chassis without becoming brittle or cracking easily.
- Aggressive Styling with Advanced Aerodynamics — Designed by TLR Tuned specialists, the bodywork features an aggressive profile that not only looks stunning but has been engineered to manage airflow and reduce drag at high speeds, improving overall handling characteristics and stability during competitive racing.
- Pre-Painted Race Trim Scheme — This body arrives factory-painted in a striking pink and purple colour combination, eliminating weeks of preparation time and ensuring a professional-quality finish that would normally require specialist painting equipment and expertise.
- High-Quality Applied Decals — The body comes decorated with premium quality decals that add detail, realism and sponsor-style branding, providing authentic race truck appearance without the need for individual decal application or alignment.
- Pre-Cut Out for Maximum Convenience — All necessary window, light and component cutouts come pre-manufactured, saving you hours of careful measuring, marking and cutting work that would otherwise be required before installation.
- Pre-Drilled Body Post and Clip Retainer Holes — Factory-drilled mounting holes for body posts and clip retainers mean you can fit this body to your TYPHON chassis quickly and accurately without the risk of misaligned or damaged holes that can compromise fitment and durability.
Technical Performance
This 1/8 scale body shell represents the pinnacle of polycarbonate body construction for electric RC buggies. The TLR Tuned pre-painted finish eliminates all surface preparation requirements, allowing you to progress straight from unboxing to installation. The polycarbonate material chosen for this body provides the ideal balance between impact protection and aerodynamic efficiency, critical factors for high-speed electric RC off-road racing. The pre-drilled mounting points and pre-cut windows ensure precise fitment to the TYPHON 6S chassis, whilst the aggressive aerodynamic profile has been optimised through testing to improve stability and cornering performance at the high speeds delivered by the brushless powertrains commonly fitted to this platform. The pink and purple colour scheme with applied factory decals provides immediate visual impact and professional appearance, ideal for both competitive racing environments and recreational bashing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a finished body or does it require painting? — This is a fully finished body that arrives pre-painted in pink and purple with applied decals and trim. There is no painting or finishing work required; you simply need to fit the body clip retainers and install it on your TYPHON chassis.
- What TYPHON models is this body compatible with? — This body is specifically designed for the ARRMA TYPHON 6S platform and is compatible with both the C-ARA8606V5 TYPHON 6S V5 BLX and the C-ARA8406 TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX RTR models.
- Do I need to trim or cut this body? — No, the body comes pre-trimmed and pre-cut for all windows and component access points. All you need to do is install the body clip retainers to secure it to your chassis.
- What material is this body made from? — The body is manufactured from polycarbonate, a durable thermoplastic material that provides excellent impact resistance and flexibility whilst maintaining aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds.
- Why is this body called TLR Tuned? — TLR Tuned refers to the professional engineering and finish specification applied by Team Losi Racing specialists. This means the body has been designed and finished to race-quality standards with attention to both performance aerodynamics and visual presentation.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement body shell rather than a complete vehicle or kit, so it is most suitable for owners who already have a TYPHON 6S chassis. Beginners would be better served by purchasing a ready-to-run RC buggy first, then upgrading with alternative body shells as they develop their skills.
- What is the difference between this and the standard TYPHON body? — This TLR Tuned body features factory pre-painting in distinctive pink and purple colours, applied decals, and engineering refinements to aerodynamics that differentiate it from the standard production body. The pre-finished specification saves considerable time and ensures consistent quality compared to painting a body yourself.
