Key Features
- Tough composite material construction — The body posts are manufactured from durable composite material that provides excellent resistance to impact, fatigue and wear, ensuring your body mounting system remains reliable even during the most demanding driving sessions on any UK RC track or bash location.
- Cushioning and shock absorption — These body posts are engineered to provide cushioning for your bodyshell, protecting it from damage caused by vibration and impacts whilst helping to isolate the chassis from the body for improved handling and reduced noise.
- Precision manufacturing for easy fit — Each component is precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect compatibility with your VORTEKS vehicle and eliminating fitment issues that could compromise handling or create rattles.
- Multiple mounting holes for height adjustment — The design incorporates multiple mounting holes that enable a large range of body height adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's setup for different driving conditions, track layouts and weather.
- Clipless body mounting compatibility — These body posts are specifically designed for VORTEKS vehicles with clipless body mounting systems, providing seamless integration without requiring additional modifications or adapters.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Body Post Set Z-ARA-2142 represents a careful balance between durability, lightweight construction and precision engineering. Manufactured from tough composite material, these body posts deliver consistent performance across a wide range of driving conditions encountered by RC enthusiasts throughout the UK. The composite material selection is crucial — it provides the structural rigidity needed to support your vehicle's body whilst remaining light enough to avoid adding unnecessary weight that could affect handling and acceleration. The precision manufacturing process ensures that tolerances are maintained to tight specifications, meaning that whether you're installing these posts for the first time or replacing worn components, they will fit perfectly into your VORTEKS chassis without gaps, misalignment or fitment complications. The engineered cushioning properties help to isolate vibration and shock from your bodyshell, which not only protects against cosmetic damage but also contributes to a more compliant ride quality. The multiple mounting holes design is particularly clever — it allows you to adjust the height of your body relative to your chassis, which affects aerodynamics, weight distribution, ground clearance and visual stance. This adjustability is invaluable when tuning your vehicle for different track conditions or simply achieving the look and feel you prefer. Whether you're running your ARRMA 1/10 VORTEKS 223S BLX 4x4 Stadium Truck on a carpeted indoor track, outdoor clay circuit or mixed-surface bash course, these body posts provide the reliable performance that ARRMA vehicles are renowned for.
