Key Features
- Durable Composite Material — Manufactured from tough composite construction, these body posts are engineered to withstand the rigours of intense RC action and repeated use without degrading or breaking under stress. This material choice ensures long-lasting performance even when the action gets toughest on the track or bash field.
- Engineered Cushioning for Your Bodyshell — The body posts are specifically designed to provide cushioning and protection for your monster truck's bodyshell, reducing vibration transmission and preventing damage from impacts during aggressive driving sessions or collisions with track obstacles.
- Precision Manufactured for Easy Fit — Each body post in this set is precision manufactured to exact tolerances, guaranteeing that they fit perfectly on your ARRMA GRANITE vehicle without requiring modifications, adjustments, or trial and error during installation.
- Multiple Mounting Holes for Height Adjustment — The design incorporates multiple mounting holes on each body post, allowing you to easily adjust the height of your bodyshell relative to the chassis. This feature is crucial for fine-tuning your RC car's aerodynamics, centre of gravity, and overall appearance to suit your driving style and track conditions.
- Clipless Body Mounting System Compatible — These body posts are specifically engineered for vehicles equipped with clipless body mounting systems, making them ideal for modern ARRMA GRANITE vehicles that feature this convenient mounting design without requiring separate clips or fasteners.
- Suitable for V4 GRANITE 223S and MEGA Vehicles — This body post set is explicitly designed and tested for compatibility with all ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE 223S DSC 4X4 RTR brushless monster truck variants, including the red, blue, and gun metal colour options, as well as compatible MEGA vehicles in the GRANITE range.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Body Post Set Z-ARA-1604 represents precision engineering applied to one of the most important connection points on your RC monster truck. Manufactured from composite material selected specifically for its balance of rigidity and impact absorption, these body posts provide the structural support your GRANITE needs whilst cushioning the bodyshell against the constant vibration and shock loads encountered during high-speed running. The composite construction is lighter than metal alternatives, which helps keep your overall vehicle weight down without sacrificing durability — a critical consideration for 1/10 scale brushless RC vehicles that depend on optimal weight distribution for performance. Whether you are running your GRANITE 223S brushless monster truck at the local bash spot or pushing it to the limit on a competitive track, the engineering of these body posts ensures they will maintain their integrity through countless driving sessions. The precision manufacturing process means each post is manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring your monster truck's bodyshell sits level and secure, which directly impacts handling, aerodynamics, and the professional appearance of your UK RC model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a body post set and why do I need one? — Body posts are the mounting points that connect your RC vehicle's bodyshell to the chassis. They are critical components that require periodic replacement due to wear, damage, or if you want to adjust your body height for performance or aesthetic reasons. The ARRMA Body Post Set provides both front and rear mounts, ensuring your GRANITE 223S brushless monster truck's bodyshell is securely mounted and properly supported.
- Is this body post set compatible with my ARRMA GRANITE? — Yes, this Z-ARA-1604 body post set is specifically designed for ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE 223S DSC 4X4 RTR brushless monster trucks in all colour variants (red, blue, and gun metal), as well as compatible MEGA vehicles in the GRANITE family. Check your vehicle's model number against the compatibility list before ordering.
- Can I adjust the height of my bodyshell with this set? — Absolutely. One of the key features of this body post set is the multiple mounting holes built into each post, allowing you to select different attachment points on both the chassis and bodyshell. This enables a full range of body height adjustment, allowing you to customise the stance of your RC monster truck for improved aerodynamics, altered centre of gravity, or simply to achieve the aggressive look you prefer.
- Why is composite material used instead of metal? — Composite material offers an excellent balance of lightweight construction and durability. Compared to metal body posts, these composite versions help keep your overall RC vehicle weight optimised, which is crucial for a 1/10 scale brushless monster truck's performance and handling. The material is also engineered to provide shock absorption and cushioning for your bodyshell, protecting it from vibration and impact damage.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, body post sets are suitable for anyone who owns an ARRMA GRANITE 223S brushless monster truck, from complete beginners to experienced RC enthusiasts. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge, and having replacement body posts on hand is a smart maintenance practice that all RC hobbyists should follow.
- How often should I replace my body posts? — Body post replacement frequency depends on your driving intensity and conditions. Regular bashers and competitive drivers should inspect their body posts regularly for wear, damage, or stress marks. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare body post sets in their toolkit for convenient roadside replacement during extended driving sessions.
