Key Features
- Extra Durability Protection — This chassis protector adds a robust protective layer on top of your stock chassis, absorbing impacts and preventing damage to the main chassis structure during aggressive driving, jumps, and high-speed runs.
- Easy to Change Out — Installation and removal require just a few screws, making it simple to swap out the protector when it becomes worn or if you want to change colours to match a new body shell or paint scheme.
- Three Colour Options Available — Choose from Pro-Line Blue, ARRMA Red, or Classic Stone Gray to coordinate with your vehicle's paint job and create a fully personalised, cohesive look that reflects your style.
- Made from High Quality and High Strength Nylon — Constructed from premium nylon material, this protector is engineered to withstand repeated impacts, abrasions, and the punishment that comes with serious RC bashIng without cracking or deforming.
- Designed to Take a Beating — This component is purpose-built to absorb the kinds of impacts and stress that naturally occur during off-road driving, jumps, and aggressive manoeuvres, keeping your actual chassis in pristine condition.
- Made in the USA Since 1982 — Pro-Line's long history of manufacturing high-quality RC components in America ensures that this chassis protector meets rigorous standards for durability and performance that serious RC car UK drivers can trust.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Bash Armor Chassis Protector is engineered with precision to fit seamlessly on ARRMA 3S short wheelbase vehicles including the Granite 3S, Granite Boost 4x2, Granite MEGA 550, Vorteks 3S, and Vorteks Boost 4x2 models. The protector is manufactured from high-strength nylon that has been selected for its superior impact resistance and durability, making it an ideal choice for bashers who want to protect their investment without adding significant weight or affecting the vehicle's handling characteristics. The design allows the protector to absorb impacts that would otherwise damage the delicate electronics and structural components housed within the main chassis. The nylon construction provides excellent abrasion resistance, meaning that the protector will maintain its integrity even after extended periods of aggressive driving on rough terrain. Unlike many aftermarket chassis protectors that merely snap on, this Pro-Line component is secured with proper fasteners – one M3x12 FHCS (flat head cap screw) and one M3 locknut – ensuring that it stays in place even during extreme driving conditions. The straightforward installation process means that you can protect your chassis in minutes without requiring special tools or technical expertise, making this an accessible upgrade for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Pro-Line Bash Armor Chassis Protector compatible with my ARRMA 3S vehicle? — This protector is specifically designed for ARRMA 3S short wheelbase vehicles. It is fully compatible with the Granite 3S, Granite Boost 4x2, Granite MEGA 550, Vorteks 3S, and Vorteks Boost 4x2 models. If you own a long wheelbase ARRMA 3S model such as the Senton or Typhon, you will need the long wheelbase version instead (model G-PRO639706).

The protector simply sits on top of your existing chassis and is secured with the included M3x12 flat head cap screw and M3 locknut. Most users can complete installation in just a few minutes, and removal is equally quick when you need to swap it out or perform maintenance on your chassis.
- Will this chassis protector add significant weight to my RC car? — The protector is manufactured from lightweight nylon, so it adds minimal weight to your vehicle whilst providing substantial protection. The weight addition is negligible in the context of overall vehicle performance and handling, making it an excellent choice for both recreational bashers and competitive drivers.
- Can I choose a different colour to match my vehicle's paint scheme? — Absolutely! The Bash Armor Chassis Protector is available in three attractive colours: Pro-Line Blue, ARRMA Red, and Classic Stone Gray. You can select the colour that best complements your vehicle's paint job and personal preference, allowing you to create a fully coordinated, professional-looking rig.
- What makes the Pro-Line Bash Armor Chassis Protector different from other chassis protectors? — Pro-Line's Bash Armor series represents a comprehensive approach to protecting and upgrading your ARRMA 3S. The protector is manufactured in the USA by a company with over 40 years of experience in RC performance parts, ensuring superior quality and durability. The product is also designed as part of a complete system – you can add matching Suspension Arms and Skid Plates to create a fully protected and visually cohesive setup that looks as good as it performs.
- Is this chassis protector suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced drivers alike. The installation is simple enough for anyone to handle, and the protection it provides means that you can bash with confidence without worrying about expensive chassis damage from inevitable crashes and impacts.
- How long will the chassis protector last? — With proper care, the high-strength nylon construction means this protector will last through many sessions of aggressive driving. When it eventually shows significant wear, simply remove the two fasteners and swap it out for a fresh one – no special tools or technical knowledge required.
