Key Features
- High-Quality Moulded Body — Constructed from premium polycarbonate material, this bodyshell is engineered to withstand the rigours of aggressive off-road bashing whilst maintaining its structural integrity through countless bash sessions and competitive runs. The robust moulding process ensures consistent quality and perfect fitment every single time.

This premium paint application creates a stunning visual impact that genuinely catches the eye, whether you're racing competitively or bashing for fun with friends.

These quality vinyl stickers are durable and colour-matched to the orange paint scheme, creating a cohesive and polished appearance that reflects genuine ARRMA engineering and design.
- Pre-Trimmed and Pre-Drilled for Fast Installation — No trimming required and all mounting holes are already precisely drilled, meaning you can install this body on your TYPHON chassis in minutes without additional tools or preparation.

Technical Performance
This ARRMA bodyshell represents professional-grade engineering designed specifically for 1/8 scale 4WD buggy racing and bashing. Constructed from durable polycarbonate material, the body has been precision-moulded to exacting standards ensuring perfect fitment on your TYPHON 223S BLX or TYPHON MEGA chassis. The polycarbonate material offers an ideal balance between impact resistance and weight, crucial factors for maintaining the responsive handling characteristics of your TYPHON whilst providing protection for the internal mechanics. The pre-painted orange finish has been applied using ARRMA's professional painting process, creating a uniform colour that resists fading and maintains its vibrant appearance through extended outdoor use. The integrated vinyl decal application adds visual depth and styling without compromising the structural integrity of the bodyshell. For drivers across the UK who demand both performance and aesthetics, this body delivers on both fronts, maintaining the aggressive stance and aerodynamic profile that ARRMA engineers into every TYPHON model. The hidden body mounting system means this shell integrates seamlessly with your chassis, preserving the low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution that makes TYPHON models such competitive performers on the track.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which TYPHON models does this body fit? — This body is designed for the 1/8 TYPHON 223S BLX 4x4 Buggy and TYPHON MEGA 665 4x4 models. It features the clipless mounting system that is integrated into these specific 4WD TYPHON chassis, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility. The body will not fit other ARRMA models or earlier TYPHON variants that do not feature the hidden clipless body mounting system.
- Is this body pre-assembled or ready to install? — Yes, this body comes completely pre-assembled, pre-painted, pre-decaled, pre-trimmed and pre-drilled. You simply remove your current body from your TYPHON chassis and clip this new one on using the clipless mounting system. No tools are required for installation, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want to refresh their setup quickly.
- What material is this body made from? — The body is constructed from durable polycarbonate, the industry standard for RC buggy bodyshells. Polycarbonate offers excellent impact resistance, making it ideal for both competitive racing and aggressive bashing. It is also lightweight, which helps maintain the performance characteristics of your TYPHON.
- Can I use this orange body with any TYPHON colour option? — Yes, this is a standalone replacement body that will fit any TYPHON 223S BLX or TYPHON MEGA model, regardless of the original body colour. This means you can completely change the appearance of your TYPHON by swapping to this orange shell. Many drivers collect multiple body colours for different events or simply to ring the changes.
- How durable is the paint finish? — ARRMA's professional paint application is designed to withstand the demands of serious RC driving. The finish resists fading from UV exposure and normal wear from handling and storage. However, as with any painted RC body, it may accumulate minor scuffs from impacts during bashing sessions, which is entirely normal and part of the appeal of ownable RC models.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a bodyshell rather than a complete RC car, it is suitable for any TYPHON owner at any experience level. The clipless mounting system is genuinely tool-free, making installation incredibly simple. If you own a TYPHON and want to refresh or replace your body, this is an accessible option regardless of your RC experience.
- What is the difference between this and other TYPHON body options? — ARRMA produces the TYPHON range in various colours and liveries. This orange variant is one of several pre-painted and pre-decaled options available. Each comes with identical quality polycarbonate construction and professional paint application – the difference is purely the colour scheme and decal design you choose to suit your personal preference.
- Do I need any additional parts to fit this body? — No, this body includes everything you need. As long as you own a compatible TYPHON 223S BLX or TYPHON MEGA 4x4 model, you can simply remove your existing body and clip this one on. No additional clips, fasteners, tools or modifications are required.
