Key Features
- Pre-Painted Finish — The body arrives in a stunning black colour that is already fully painted, eliminating the need for additional painting work or expensive spray equipment. This saves you time, money and effort whilst ensuring a professional finish that matches ARRMA's factory standards.
- Applied Decal Sheet — The bodyshell comes with decals already applied, providing an authentic and striking appearance straight out of the box. These factory-applied graphics add visual interest and help identify your RC truck during track days or casual driving sessions.
- Fully Trimmed Design — The body has been pre-trimmed to fit perfectly onto your KRATON 6S EXB platform without requiring additional cutting, filing or shaping. This trimmed approach ensures precise fitment and means you can get back to driving your RC truck immediately rather than spending hours on preparation.
- Polycarbonate Construction — Made from durable polycarbonate material, this body provides an excellent balance between strength and weight. Polycarbonate resists impact damage better than some alternative materials whilst remaining lightweight enough to optimise your RC monster truck's acceleration and handling characteristics.
- Official ARRMA Component — This is a genuine ARRMA part manufactured to exacting specifications and quality standards. Using official ARRMA replacement bodies ensures compatibility, durability and authentic styling for your brushless RC vehicle.
- 1/8 Scale Compatibility — Designed specifically for 1/8 scale RC trucks, this body maintains the proper proportions and appearance expected from genuine ARRMA components. The 1/8 scale size delivers impressive presence and performance for both outdoor bashing and track use.

It is also more durable than lexan alternatives in many applications.
- Can I use this body on other ARRMA models? — This body is specifically designed for the KRATON 6S EXB platform. Whilst some ARRMA bodies may share similar dimensions across the KRATON range, compatibility cannot be guaranteed for other models. Always confirm your specific truck model matches the C-ARA8708V6T1 KRATON 6S EXB before purchasing this replacement body.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1/8 scale body, making it suitable for 1/8 scale RC trucks like the KRATON 6S EXB. The 1/8 scale size is significantly larger than 1/10 scale alternatives, providing impressive visual presence and generous interior space for electronics and components.

The aerodynamic profile and lightweight polycarbonate construction support high-speed operation whilst maintaining stability and control. Always operate within safe limits and follow local regulations when driving RC vehicles.
- Can I customise this body with additional paint or graphics? — Absolutely. Whilst this body arrives fully painted and decaled, the polycarbonate surface can be further customised if desired.
