- Pre-Decaled with ARRMA Vinyl Stickers — Pre-applied vinyl decals featuring the iconic ARRMA branding and design add stylish, eye-catching looks to your RC vehicle straight out of the box, eliminating the need for manual decal application and ensuring perfect alignment and coverage.

- High-Quality Moulded Construction — Manufactured using high-quality moulding techniques, this polycarbonate body is engineered to withstand the rigours of competitive racing and weekend bashing whilst maintaining its shape and appearance through countless hours of driving.
- Direct OEM Fitment — As the official ARRMA replacement body for the VORTEKS BOOST 2WD range, this bodyshell integrates seamlessly with your existing chassis without requiring modifications, adapters, or compatibility workarounds.

Technical Performance
This ARRMA bodyshell is precision-engineered for the 1/10 scale VORTEKS BOOST 2WD platform, making it an ideal choice for stadium truck and truggy enthusiasts seeking a reliable replacement body or cosmetic upgrade. The gunmetal colour finish is applied using professional automotive-grade paint techniques that deliver a durable, fade-resistant coating capable of withstanding UV exposure and the inevitable scrapes and scuffs that come with active RC use. The polycarbonate material construction provides the ideal balance of lightweight design—critical for maintaining the performance characteristics of your 2WD electric RC truck—and structural rigidity necessary to protect the chassis and electronics beneath during hard cornering, jumps, and high-speed runs. The pre-trimmed and drilled configuration means that fitment is straightforward: simply align the body shell with your chassis, secure using the existing mounting points, and you're ready to drive. The pre-decaled vinyl sticker application eliminates the skill required for traditional decal work, where air bubbles and misalignment can mar the appearance of your RC vehicle. Whether you're running the standard brushed RTR version of the VORTEKS BOOST 2WD or the variant with included battery and charger, this bodyshell integrates perfectly with your platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body shell suitable for my RC truck? — This bodyshell is specifically engineered as a replacement for the ARRMA VORTEKS BOOST 2WD platform, fitting the standard RTR brushed model (ARA4105V4) and the RTR version with battery and charger included (ARA4105SV4). If you own either of these models, this body shell will fit perfectly without modification. Always verify your chassis model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Do I need to paint or decal this body shell myself? — No. This is a completely finished bodyshell that arrives pre-painted in gunmetal and pre-decaled with ARRMA vinyl stickers. It is also pre-trimmed and drilled, meaning you can install it directly onto your chassis without any additional work such as painting, decal application, or cutting. This makes it ideal if you want a quick cosmetic refresh without the time investment of finishing work.
- How long does installation take? — Installation is straightforward and typically takes only a few minutes. Since the body shell arrives pre-trimmed with all drill holes already positioned, you simply align it with your chassis mounting points and secure it using the existing fixtures. No cutting tools, glue, or extensive preparation is required.
- What material is this body shell made from? — The VORTEKS 4X2 BOOST body shell is constructed from durable polycarbonate, a material chosen for its excellent impact resistance, flexibility, and lightweight characteristics. Polycarbonate provides superior protection compared to cheaper plastic alternatives whilst maintaining the performance profile of your 2WD electric RC truck.
- Can I use this body shell on other ARRMA models? — This bodyshell is specifically engineered and trimmed for the VORTEKS BOOST 2WD platform. While it may physically fit certain other chassis, official fitment is confirmed only for the ARA4105V4 and ARA4105SV4 models. Using it on other platforms may result in fitment issues, alignment problems, or potential damage. Always verify compatibility before installation.
- Is this suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — Absolutely. This pre-painted, pre-decaled, and pre-trimmed bodyshell is exceptionally beginner-friendly because it eliminates all the complicated finishing work that can intimidate new RC enthusiasts. Simply mount it on your chassis and you're ready to drive. There's no need for painting skills, decal application experience, or cutting tools, making it perfect for anyone discovering the world of RC for the first time or upgrading from an existing vehicle.
- Why would I choose a replacement body shell? — RC enthusiasts choose replacement bodyshells for several reasons: to refresh the appearance of a vehicle that's become weathered or damaged, to change the cosmetic style without purchasing an entirely new chassis, or to have a spare body available for rapid repairs if the existing shell is damaged during driving. This gunmetal VORTEKS body offers a sophisticated colour option that allows you to customise your vehicle's appearance.
- What is the difference between this and a clear bodyshell? — Clear bodyshells allow you to see the internal chassis and electronics, requiring you to apply your own paint and decals for personalisation. This VORTEKS 4X2 BOOST bodyshell arrives fully painted in gunmetal with professional-grade vinyl decals pre-applied, eliminating all finishing work and delivering an immediately impressive, race-ready appearance without any additional effort.
