Overview
The ARRMA QUAKE Clear Body (Inc Decals/Window Masks) Z-ARA-2870 is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to create a truly custom painted look for their 1/10 scale ARRMA QUAKE monster truck. Whether you're a seasoned basher looking to refresh your RC car's appearance or a beginner exploring personalisation options, this high-quality replacement bodyshell offers exceptional value and versatility. The clear polycarbonate construction allows you to paint and customise your vehicle exactly as you envision it, making this an ideal option for anyone wanting to stand out on the track or at the bash spot.
This ready-to-fit bodyshell is manufactured from tough polycarbonate material, engineered specifically to withstand the demands of off-road RC driving whilst maintaining crystal-clear transparency for your custom paint applications. The QUAKE body is designed as a direct replacement for compatible 1/10 electric off-road vehicles, and comes pre-trimmed for fast and easy installation. The inclusion of both vinyl decals and window masks means you have everything needed to take your customisation project from box to track with minimal additional purchases, making it an excellent value proposition for RC car UK enthusiasts.
What truly sets this product apart is the comprehensive package included in the box. Rather than selling just a bare shell, ARRMA has thoughtfully bundled the clear bodyshell with a detailed decal sheet and professional-quality window masks, alongside a protective over-spray film designed specifically to make your custom painting process faster and easier. This attention to detail reflects ARRMA's commitment to delivering complete solutions for the RC hobby community, whether you're undertaking your first custom paint job or your hundredth.
Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material that provides excellent impact resistance and durability, meaning your custom paint job will be protected even during aggressive off-road driving and occasional impacts, a critical consideration when investing time and effort into personalisation.
- Clear, Unpainted Finish — The body arrives unpainted and transparent, giving you complete creative freedom to design and paint your QUAKE exactly how you want it, whether you prefer factory colour schemes, wild custom designs, or anything in between.
- Vinyl Decal Sheet Included — A comprehensive QUAKE decal sheet is included, allowing you to add authentic factory-style detailing or create your own custom graphics combination, saving you the expense and effort of sourcing decals separately.
- High-Quality Window Masks Included — Professional-grade vinyl window masks are supplied to ensure clean, crisp paint edges around the windows without overspray, delivering a finish that looks like it came straight from the factory despite being custom painted.
- Pre-Trimmed for Easy Fit — The bodyshell arrives pre-trimmed to the correct size, meaning you can install it immediately without spending time with cutting tools or worrying about fit issues, making the installation process quick and straightforward for all experience levels.
- Protective Over-Spray Film — A dedicated protective film is included to safeguard the bodyshell during your painting process, preventing paint overspray on areas you wish to keep unpainted and ensuring a professional-looking finish with minimal masking effort.
- 1/10 Scale Compatibility — Specifically designed for 1/10 scale QUAKE models, this body ensures perfect fit and finish with your existing RC monster truck chassis, making it a genuine replacement part rather than a universal fit item.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA QUAKE Clear Body is engineered from polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its superior impact resistance, flexibility, and clarity—essential properties for both durability and aesthetic presentation. The 1/10 scale truck-class bodyshell is designed to mount directly onto compatible QUAKE 223S DSC 2WD RTR brushless monster truck platforms, including the red, purple, and green variants. At this scale, polycarbonate bodies have become the industry standard for off-road RC vehicles because they offer the perfect balance between weight savings and protective capability. The clear construction allows light to pass through freely, meaning any custom paint application you create will have vibrant, jewel-like transparency that simply cannot be achieved with painted bodies. The pre-trimmed design means all mounting points, window apertures, and fitting tabs are already positioned correctly, eliminating guesswork and ensuring the body seats perfectly on your chassis. The included vinyl window masks are specifically formulated to resist paint adhesion whilst remaining flexible enough not to damage the polycarbonate when removed, and the protective over-spray film is thin enough to remain in place during painting without creating visible marks. This comprehensive specification demonstrates ARRMA's engineering excellence in understanding not just what RC enthusiasts need, but how they actually use replacement bodies during custom builds and restoration projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA QUAKE models is this body compatible with? — This clear bodyshell is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/10 QUAKE 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Monster Truck, and is compatible with the red (C-ARA3537T1), purple (C-ARA3537T3), and green (C-ARA3537T2) variants of this model. The pre-trimmed design and mounting points are engineered specifically for these platforms.
- Do I need to purchase decals and window masks separately? — No, unlike many aftermarket clear bodies, this ARRMA QUAKE body includes both a complete decal sheet and professional window masks in the box, saving you money and ensuring you have everything needed to complete your custom paint project without additional purchases.
- What type of paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — Polycarbonate bodies require paint specifically formulated for plastic substrates. Standard acrylics or polycarbonate-compatible spray paints work well, though we recommend testing on a small area first. Always use the protective over-spray film included in the box to protect areas you don't wish to paint.
- Is this body suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The pre-trimmed design means no cutting or preparation is needed, and the included window masks remove the stress from masking. Even first-time custom painters can achieve professional results with this kit, making it an excellent choice for anyone new to body customisation in the UK RC hobby.
- Will this body fit my existing QUAKE truck without modification? — Yes, the pre-trimmed design and engineering ensure perfect fit on compatible QUAKE 223S DSC models. Simply remove your existing body, mount the clear shell using the same mounting points, and you're ready to paint.
- What makes a clear body better than buying a pre-painted body? — Clear bodies offer unlimited customisation possibilities—you can create unique colour schemes and designs impossible to find on pre-painted alternatives. They're also ideal for restoring faded bodies or creating entirely bespoke designs that reflect your personal style and make your brushless RC monster truck truly one-of-a-kind.
