The green and black colour scheme creates a striking visual impact that stands out on any terrain, from the local RC track to backyard bashing sessions across the UK.

If you are searching for a quality painted body for your brushless RC monster truck, or need a replacement shell for your existing ready to run RC model, this ARRMA body offers genuine manufacturer quality at a competitive price point.
The KRATON body features ARRMA's convenient quick-release clipless body retention system, making it incredibly easy to remove and install the body without struggling with traditional clip mechanisms.

Whether you are a weekend basher enjoying off-road RC driving, a competitive racer, or simply someone discovering the thrills of 1/8 scale electric RC cars, this painted body represents genuine ARRMA engineering and styling excellence.
Key Features
- Factory-Painted Multi-Colour Finish — The body arrives fully painted in an eye-catching green and black colour scheme with professional factory decals already applied, eliminating the need for manual painting or decal application and saving you considerable time and effort.
- Quick-Release Clipless Body Retention System — The innovative clipless design allows you to remove and install the body in seconds without fumbling with traditional body clips, making maintenance, inspection and body changes incredibly convenient during your RC sessions.
- Perfect Fit for KRATON 6S BLX V6 — This body is engineered specifically for the ARRMA KRATON 6S BLX V6 monster truck, ensuring perfect alignment, fitment and aerodynamic performance with your existing chassis and components.
- Iconic Monster Truck Styling — The KRATON body design has earned its legendary status in the RC world, featuring aggressive proportions, functional aerodynamics and the unmistakable ARRMA aesthetic that performs as well as it looks.
- Pre-Applied Professional Decals — High-quality factory decals are already applied to the painted surface, delivering a finished appearance without requiring specialist decal application skills or additional products.
- Durable Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from quality polycarbonate material that provides the ideal balance of rigidity for aerodynamic performance and impact resistance for bashing and racing applications.
Technical Performance
This KRATON 6S BLX V6 painted body shell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate, a material recognised throughout the RC industry for delivering superior performance in both competitive racing and aggressive bashing scenarios. The polycarbonate construction provides the structural rigidity needed to maintain aerodynamic efficiency at the KRATON's impressive 65+ mph top speed capability, whilst remaining flexible enough to absorb impacts from crashes and rough terrain without shattering. The body dimensions are precisely engineered to fit the 1/8 scale KRATON 6S BLX V6 chassis, which measures 596mm in length, 466mm in width and 216mm in height. The quick-release clipless retention system eliminates the traditional body clip fastening method, reducing the time required for body removal during maintenance or when swapping between different body shells. The factory-applied green and black multi-colour paint scheme is applied to production standards, ensuring consistent coverage and professional appearance across the entire body surface. Combined with the pre-applied ARRMA decals, this body arrives race-ready or bash-ready from the moment of installation. The polycarbonate material can withstand the performance demands of 6S LiPo battery power, which the KRATON 6S BLX V6 is specifically engineered to utilise, whilst also remaining compatible with 4S power for users preferring more manageable acceleration and lower top speeds. Whether you are running this body on a ready to run KRATON 6S BLX V6 monster truck or upgrading an existing model, the painted finish eliminates the need for additional paint preparation, primer or clear coat application, allowing you to focus entirely on driving and enjoying your RC experience.

The finish quality matches the production standards of complete KRATON 6S BLX V6 ready to run models sold throughout the UK market.
