Key Features
- Pre-Painted Finish with Exclusive EXB Scheme — This bodyshell arrives ready to use with the distinctive ARRMA EXB matte and gloss trim scheme already applied, eliminating the need for time-consuming hand-painting and ensuring a factory-quality finish that matches genuine ARRMA specifications. The combination of matte and gloss finishes creates visual depth and professional appearance that separates serious RC trucks from basic builds.
- Strong and Flexible Polycarbonate Construction — The body is crafted from premium polycarbonate material that offers the perfect balance between structural strength and impact flexibility, allowing it to withstand the rigours of high-speed RC driving whilst protecting your chassis from damage during crashes. This material is specifically chosen by ARRMA for its durability in competitive and recreational use across all UK weather conditions.
- Aggressive Aerodynamic Styling — The KRATON EXB body features bold, angular lines and advanced aerodynamic design that not only delivers awesome looks but actually improves high-speed performance by managing airflow more efficiently. This means your brushless RC monster truck will maintain better stability and control when pushing maximum speed on tracks and terrain.
- High-Quality Applied Decals for Realism — Rather than relying on paint alone, this bodyshell is decorated with premium quality decals that add intricate detail and authentic branding, enhancing the overall realism and visual appeal of your RC truck. These factory-applied decals maintain their quality through numerous runs and weather exposure.
- Pre-Trimmed for Fast and Easy Fit — The body arrives with all trimming already completed by ARRMA, meaning you can mount it to your chassis immediately without the need for cutting, fitting, or adjustment. This dramatically reduces setup time and eliminates the risk of uneven trimming that could affect aerodynamics or fit.
- Pre-Drilled Body Post Holes — Precision-drilled mounting holes ensure perfect alignment with your KRATON 6S EXB chassis, providing a secure and stress-free installation process. You won't need to drill additional holes or risk damaging the bodyshell through incorrect hole placement.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA KRATON 6S EXB Painted Decalled Bodyshell represents precision engineering in 1/8 scale RC truck bodies. Constructed from flexible yet durable polycarbonate, this bodyshell is engineered to work specifically with the ARRMA KRATON 6S EXB 4X4 RTR brushless monster truck platform. The polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, which is critical for maintaining the performance characteristics of your brushless RC setup. The pre-painted finish with matte and gloss elements not only delivers stunning visual appeal but also provides a protective layer that helps shield the underlying plastic from UV degradation and minor scuffs. The aggressive styling incorporates advanced aerodynamic principles developed by ARRMA engineers, which means at the high speeds achievable by 6S LiPo powered brushless trucks, the body shape actively contributes to stability and control. For UK RC enthusiasts running their KRATON 6S across various terrain and weather conditions, the polycarbonate construction offers reliability and consistent performance whether you're bashing on grass, dirt, or asphalt. The pre-drilled body post holes are precision-positioned to match ARRMA's exacting specifications, ensuring perfect fitment without requiring any modifications to your monster truck chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bodyshell compatible with other KRATON models? — This body is specifically designed for the ARRMA KRATON 6S EXB 4X4 RTR. Whilst some components may be compatible with other KRATON variants, we recommend confirming compatibility with the specific model designation EXB before purchasing, as body fitment, post hole alignment, and mounting points vary between KRATON versions.
- Do I need to paint or decal this body myself? — No. This is a significant advantage of choosing the ARRMA KRATON 6S EXB Painted Decalled Cut Body. It arrives complete with the factory EXB matte and gloss trim scheme already applied and high-quality decals already installed, meaning you can mount it straight onto your chassis without any additional painting or decorating work required.
- Will this body fit my existing KRATON 6S EXB chassis? — Yes, this body is engineered to fit the ARRMA KRATON 6S EXB chassis perfectly. The pre-drilled body post holes align precisely with the mounting posts on your EXB chassis, and the body shell dimensions match the design specifications of the 1/8 scale EXB platform.
- What is the difference between pre-trimmed and untrimmed bodies? — A pre-trimmed body arrives with all excess plastic already cut away and edges finished, allowing immediate installation without any cutting or modification. An untrimmed body would require you to carefully trim excess material before fitting. The pre-trimmed design of this KRATON body saves significant time and eliminates the risk of uneven cuts that could affect fitment or aerodynamics.
- Can I use this body on multiple chassis? — Technically yes, you could transfer this body between compatible KRATON 6S EXB chassis, though it's designed as a single bodyshell component. Most RC enthusiasts keep their bodies permanently fitted to their chassis to protect the internal components and maintain their investment.
- Is this suitable for competitive racing? — Yes. The ARRMA KRATON 6S EXB platform is used in competitive RC monster truck racing across the UK and Europe. This officially licensed ARRMA bodyshell meets factory specifications and is a professional-grade component that performs as expected on both competition tracks and casual bashing terrain.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is one of the most impact-resistant plastics used in RC motorsports. Whilst it can crack or break under extreme impacts, the flexible nature of polycarbonate means it absorbs energy better than rigid materials, reducing the likelihood of damage compared to harder plastics. Minor scrapes and scuffs won't affect performance.
