Technical Performance
The ARRMA VENDETTA 4X4 BLX Finished Body is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, a material that balances weight savings with durability—crucial for on-road and all-road RC cars that demand both performance and longevity. The pre-painted green finish is applied to exacting standards, providing superior colour saturation and protection compared to hand-painted alternatives. The bodyshell is designed to work seamlessly with the VENDETTA 4X4 all-road 3S BLX platform, which features brushless power delivery, meaning you get a modern, efficient RC car capable of impressive acceleration and top speed. The body shell itself has a wheelbase length of 336mm (13.2 inches), carefully proportioned to match the VENDETTA 4X4's chassis geometry and ensure perfect aerodynamic balance. The polycarbonate construction provides excellent vibration damping and impact absorption, protecting your underlying chassis and electronics during high-speed runs and hard landings. The pre-trimmed design eliminates the weak points that often result from post-purchase cutting, meaning the body retains maximum structural integrity. Combined with the factory-applied decals and integrated downforce wing options, this bodyshell represents a complete aerodynamic and aesthetic upgrade that maintains ARRMA's reputation for engineering excellence and attention to detail.
