Overview
The ARRMA Receiver Box Set Z-ARA320685 is an essential spare part and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts looking to protect their radio receiver equipment. Whether you're running an ARRMA Gorgon MT or another compatible RC model truck, this receiver box provides a purpose-built, waterproof housing solution that shields sensitive electronics from the elements. This is a must-have addition to your RC car UK setup, particularly if you enjoy off-road bashing in wet conditions or demanding terrain where dirt and water ingress can damage expensive receiver components.
Designed specifically for the ARRMA Gorgon MT range—including the 1/10 scale brushless and brushed variants across multiple colour options—this receiver box set demonstrates ARRMA's commitment to building modular, upgradeable RC platforms. Rather than being locked into factory-standard configurations, RC enthusiasts in the UK can customise their ready to run RC trucks with aftermarket receiver boxes that offer superior protection and easier maintenance. This approach appeals to serious hobbyists who want to extend the lifespan of their investment and maintain peak performance season after season.
The receiver box set combines robust engineering with practical design, making it an ideal choice for both weekend bashers and competitive RC drivers. If you're running an RC monster truck in the UK and want to add an extra layer of durability and protection to your receiver, this ARRMA spare part is engineered to deliver exactly that.
Key Features
- Waterproof Protection — The receiver box is purpose-designed to create a waterproof seal around your radio receiver, preventing water ingress that could cause short circuits or permanent damage to expensive receiver components during wet weather driving or water crossings.
- Composite Material Construction — Built from strong composite material, this receiver box offers excellent durability whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your RC truck's weight distribution and handling characteristics remain balanced and unaffected.
- Integrated Aerial Tube Mount — The precision-engineered aerial tube mount securely positions your radio receiver aerial, eliminating signal loss caused by poor aerial placement and ensuring consistent, reliable radio communication with your RC vehicle at all times.
- Precision Molded Hardware Holes — Carefully positioned mounting holes are precision-molded into the box design, allowing fast and hassle-free installation and removal of your receiver without requiring additional drilling, measuring, or modification.
- Aftermarket Receiver Compatibility — This receiver box set is specifically designed to accommodate aftermarket receivers, giving you complete flexibility to upgrade to premium receiver equipment from brands like Spektrum or other high-performance alternatives.
- Easy Servicing and Maintenance — The design allows quick access to your receiver for routine maintenance, repairs, or upgrades without needing to disassemble major chassis components, saving time and reducing potential for accidental damage.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Receiver Box Set Z-ARA320685 is engineered to the exacting standards ARRMA has become recognised for in the RC hobby. The composite material construction provides an optimal balance between strength, weight, and weather resistance—critical factors in modern RC truck design. The integrated aerial tube mount is not merely a convenience feature; it represents precision engineering that directly impacts your receiver's performance and range. When an aerial is poorly positioned or unsecured, signal degradation occurs, potentially causing control lag or complete loss of signal during critical moments in a race or bashing session. The precision-molded hardware holes eliminate the need for guesswork during installation, a detail that matters when you're working on expensive electronics. The waterproof design creates a sealed environment that protects against the rigorous conditions UK RC drivers encounter—muddy terrain, river crossings, rain-soaked tracks, and the inevitable splash-back from aggressive driving. This level of protection is particularly valuable for owners of the ARRMA Gorgon MT 2WD, whether you're running the brushed or brushless MEGA 550 variant. The receiver box works seamlessly across all compatible Gorgon MT models, from RTR (ready to run) configurations to RTA (ready to assemble) kits, making it a genuinely universal solution for protecting aftermarket receivers in these platforms.
