Overview
The ARRMA Side Guard Set Z-ARA320825 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for ARRMA 1/8 scale RC buggy enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're a serious racer, a weekend basher, or someone new to the world of RC car UK hobbies, this precision-engineered side guard set offers critical protection for your vehicle's chassis during intense off-road action. These guards are specifically designed to mount seamlessly to the sides of compatible ARRMA models, providing both structural support and impact protection that can significantly extend the lifespan of your RC investment.
Built from tough, durable composite material, the ARRMA Side Guard Set represents the kind of quality engineering you'd expect from a leading manufacturer in the brushless RC buggy market. Side guards serve a dual purpose in RC vehicle design: they protect the chassis from impacts when your model makes contact with obstacles, terrain features, or other vehicles during racing or recreational driving, whilst also providing crucial support to keep the body panels properly positioned and secure. For anyone operating a 1/8 scale RC buggy like the TYPHON 223S BLX series, having quality side protection is an investment in reliability and longevity.
These replacement parts are precision-molded to ensure accurate fit and secure mounting, making installation straightforward for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. The integrated cooling vents featured throughout the guard design allow for heat extraction, maintaining optimal operating temperatures during extended driving sessions. Whether you're replacing damaged guards on your existing ARRMA RC car or upgrading a freshly purchased model, this side guard set delivers professional-grade protection that serious RC hobbyists demand.
Key Features
- Precision-Molded Design — Each guard is precision-molded to accurately mount to the side of your vehicle without gaps or misalignment, ensuring consistent fit across compatible ARRMA models and maintaining the professional appearance of your RC buggy.
- Tough Composite Material Construction — Manufactured from durable composite materials, these guards are engineered to withstand the impacts, vibrations and stresses inherent in off-road RC driving, providing long-lasting protection for your chassis without adding excessive weight.
- Dual-Purpose Chassis Protection — The guards protect your chassis from direct impacts during crashes or contact with obstacles whilst simultaneously supporting the sides of the body panels, keeping everything properly aligned and secure during aggressive driving.
- Integrated Cooling Vents — Strategic cooling vents are moulded into each guard to allow heat extraction from the chassis area, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures during extended driving sessions and improving overall vehicle reliability.
- Complete Left and Right Set — This set includes both the left side guard and right side guard, providing full coverage protection for your vehicle's sides in a single purchase.
- Easy Installation — The precision-moulded design ensures straightforward mounting to compatible vehicles, making replacement or installation simple for RC enthusiasts without requiring specialist tools or technical expertise.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Side Guard Set Z-ARA320825 exemplifies ARRMA's commitment to quality engineering and protective design. Crafted from composite materials selected for their balance of durability, impact resistance and lightweight properties, these guards are engineered to perform consistently in the demanding conditions of 1/8 scale RC buggy racing and recreational bashing. The composite construction provides excellent protection against the kinds of impacts that are inevitable when driving RC buggies across rough terrain, through woodland, over jumps and in competitive racing environments. The integrated cooling vents are strategically positioned to allow airflow around the chassis area, which becomes increasingly important during high-performance driving sessions where component temperatures can rise significantly. This cooling feature helps maintain optimal operating conditions for electronic components mounted within the chassis, potentially extending component lifespan and reliability. The precision-moulding process ensures that each guard fits perfectly on compatible ARRMA models including the entire TYPHON 223S BLX range, regardless of body colour variant, providing consistent protection and appearance across your fleet of RC vehicles.

- Why would I need to replace or upgrade my side guards? — Over time, side guards can crack, split or sustain damage from impacts during aggressive driving, bashing or racing. Replacing them protects your chassis from further damage and maintains the structural integrity and appearance of your RC buggy. Even on new models, upgrading to quality guards improves durability and protection.

These guards feature integrated cooling vents that are specifically designed to allow heat extraction from the chassis area, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures during driving sessions rather than trapping heat.
- What material are these guards made from? — The ARRMA Side Guard Set is manufactured from tough, durable composite material selected for its excellent impact resistance, durability and ability to withstand the demanding conditions of RC buggy driving whilst remaining lightweight enough not to impact vehicle performance.
- Are replacement side guards worth the investment? — Absolutely. Quality side guards like these protect your chassis from impacts that could damage expensive electronic components, motors and the chassis itself.
