Technical Performance
This PROTOform Corvette C8 body is engineered from premium 1.5mm thick high-quality polycarbonate, a material choice that balances lightweight performance with genuine impact resistance—critical for street bashing where contact with kerbs, walls, and obstacles is inevitable. The construction utilises modern manufacturing techniques including 3D CAD design and 5-axis milling, ensuring dimensional accuracy that guarantees direct fitment on ARRMA Felony 6S platforms with pre-drilled mounting holes requiring no modification. The factory Rapid Blue paint application is applied to professional standards, delivering a finish that remains vibrant and durable through repeated outdoor use. The body measures 1/7 scale relative to the full-size Chevrolet Corvette C8, positioning it as a genuinely impressive scale model that commands attention wherever you take your RC car. Included aerodynamic elements—the custom front splitter and rear wing—are colour-coordinated to the body and function as authentic styling upgrades that enhance both the visual drama and the authentic sports car aesthetic. This body is a shell only and does not include the chassis, motor, ESC, battery, radio system, or any running components—you must have an existing ARRMA Felony 6S to use this body. The pre-painted finish eliminates the need for additional painting, primer application, or colour correction, saving countless hours of preparation time whilst guaranteeing a factory-quality result that looks professionally finished.

Compatibility and Fitment
This body is designed specifically for the ARRMA Felony 6S platform, where it provides a direct bolt-on fit thanks to pre-drilled mounting holes that align perfectly with standard Felony body posts. The body can also be fitted to ARRMA Infraction models with specific compatibility requirements. If you are using an Infraction with stock rear tyres, you will require replacement rear hubs (AR330404), axles 8x45mm (AR310591), and 16.5mm hexes (AR310484) to achieve proper fitment. For Infraction models running Felony-specification rear tyres, additional drivetrain parts including the 53/107 2.9 tyres (ARA550073) and corresponding input shaft cups, gears, and differential components are required—consult the detailed parts list provided by the manufacturer to ensure you have the correct specification for your particular Infraction version (V1 or V2). Always verify your current chassis specification against the compatibility information before ordering to ensure seamless installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this body come with a complete RC car? — No, this is a body shell only. You must have an existing ARRMA Felony 6S chassis to use this body. The package includes the painted body shell, front splitter, and rear wing only—no motor, ESC, battery, radio system, or chassis components are included.
- How long does the factory paint last on street bash RC cars? — The factory Rapid Blue paint finish is applied to professional automotive standards and is designed to withstand regular outdoor use, minor contact damage, and UV exposure. The durable polycarbonate substrate protects the paint from cracks that would expose bare plastic underneath, helping the finish maintain its appearance through regular bashing. However, aggressive contact with rough surfaces may eventually scuff or chip the paint in localised areas—this is normal for any RC body subjected to street bashing.
- Can I fit this body to an ARRMA Infraction? — Yes, the body can be fitted to ARRMA Infraction models, but compatibility depends on your specific Infraction configuration. Stock rear tyre Infraction models require rear hub, axle, and hex replacements. Infraction models running Felony-specification tyres require additional drivetrain modifications including gears and differential components. Contact RC Model Shop for detailed fitment advice for your specific Infraction version.
- What makes this body better than other Felony body options? — This PROTOform Corvette C8 body is officially licensed by General Motors, meaning it features authentic proportions, details, and styling that replica bodies cannot match. The factory pre-painted finish in Rapid Blue with black racing stripes eliminates the need for painting, saving time and guaranteeing a professional result. The custom front splitter and rear wing provide additional aerodynamic styling that generic bodies don't include. If you want a head-turning street bash setup that looks genuinely impressive, this is the standout choice for Felony owners.
- Is this suitable for racing or just bashing? — This body excels at street bashing where style and presence matter, but can certainly be used for track racing if that's your preference. The 1/7 scale proportions and genuine aerodynamic design make it suitable for both applications. However, the primary appeal is the stunning visual impact—perfect for taking your RC car to local spots where looks and performance combine for maximum enjoyment.
- Does the body need any preparation before installation? — No. The body comes factory pre-painted, pre-cut, and ready to install directly onto your Felony 6S chassis. No painting, trimming, sanding, or colour matching is required—simply transfer your existing body posts and install it on your chassis.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1/7 scale model of the Chevrolet Corvette C8, making it slightly larger than typical 1/8 scale RC bodies and providing excellent detail visibility and impressive presence at ground level.
