It will not fit other ARRMA models or different RC buggy chassis without modifications. Always verify your specific Typhon GROM model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Can I paint this clear body or must I leave it transparent? — The clear polycarbonate body can be painted if desired, giving you complete creative freedom. Many RC enthusiasts paint the exterior to match their preferred colour scheme or team colours, whilst others prefer to leave it clear for a distinctive transparent appearance that shows off the internal components. If painting, use polycarbonate-specific paints and follow Pro-Line's guidance to maintain the body's integrity and flexibility.
- What makes Pro-Line bodies better than cheaper alternatives? — Pro-Line bodies are manufactured from race-proven polycarbonate that has been tested in competitive environments, delivering superior durability and impact resistance compared to cheaper alternatives. The material resists cracking and delamination even after repeated crashes, maintains structural integrity at high speeds, and provides consistent aerodynamic performance. Additionally, Pro-Line's attention to detail in authentic design and the inclusion of decal sheets and window masks means you're getting a complete package, not just a basic shell.
- Do I need special tools to install this body conversion? — Installation requires only basic RC tools that most enthusiasts already possess, such as a screwdriver for body mounting posts and clips. No welding, drilling, or modifications to your chassis are necessary. The body simply clips onto your existing Typhon GROM mounting points, making it one of the quickest and easiest customisation upgrades available for this platform.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1/14 scale body conversion, specifically designed for the ARRMA Typhon GROM 1/14 scale platform.
