Key Features
- Pre-Painted Red Finish — The body arrives in a stunning red colour with a professional high-quality paint application, eliminating the need for you to paint it yourself and saving significant time and effort. This means you can have your truck looking showroom-ready immediately upon installation.
- Pre-Decaled with ARRMA Vinyl Stickers — Factory-applied ARRMA vinyl decals add stylish graphics and branding that enhance the truck's visual appeal and give it that authentic, factory-finished look that many RC enthusiasts prefer over plain colours.
- Pre-Trimmed and Pre-Drilled — The body comes ready to install with all necessary trimming and drilling already completed at the factory, enabling fast and easy installation without requiring cutting tools, modelling knives, or technical bodywork expertise. This makes it suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced RC racers.
- Polycarbonate Construction — The body is moulded from high-quality polycarbonate material, which offers excellent durability, impact resistance, and flexibility. This material is industry-standard for RC bodies because it withstands crashes and bashing while maintaining structural integrity.
- High-Quality Moulding — The body is precision-moulded to ARRMA's exacting standards, ensuring perfect fitment to the QUAKE chassis and maintaining proper aerodynamics and handling characteristics that you'd expect from a purpose-built RC truck body.
- Compatible with QUAKE 223S Models — This body is specifically engineered to fit ARRMA's QUAKE 223S DSC 2WD RTR brushless monster trucks, ensuring perfect alignment, mounting points, and overall integration with your existing chassis.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA QUAKE Painted Decaled Trimmed Body Set is engineered for 1/10 scale vehicles and maintains the lightweight yet durable characteristics essential for off-road RC performance. The polycarbonate material provides the ideal balance between weight savings and impact protection—critical for vehicles that frequently encounter rough terrain, jumps, and collisions typical of backyard bashing and competitive racing. The factory painting and decaling process utilises automotive-grade finishes and UV-resistant vinyl graphics designed to withstand exposure to sunlight, dust, water splash, and the general wear associated with regular RC use. The pre-trimmed design maintains optimal aerodynamic profile for the QUAKE platform, ensuring that your truck's handling characteristics and stability remain consistent with factory specifications. The body's engineering means it will work seamlessly with the high-performance brushless motors and advanced electronics found in the QUAKE 223S DSC RTR versions, supporting the dynamic acceleration and cornering speeds these vehicles are capable of delivering.
