For RC car UK enthusiasts who understand that spares and tune-ups are part of responsible ownership, the ARRMA Body Post Set represents genuine OEM quality at a competitive price. If your existing posts have cracked, bent or worn out from months of hard use, or if you simply want to upgrade to fresh components for a cleaner, more reliable setup, this spare part is an intelligent investment in your RC car's longevity and performance.
Key Features
- Durable Composite Material Construction — These body posts are engineered from tough composite material that resists cracking and breaking under the stresses of off-road driving, ensuring they maintain their structural integrity even during aggressive bashing sessions and competitive racing.
- Engineered Cushioning for Bodyshell Protection — The posts are specifically designed to absorb and cushion vibrations and minor impacts, protecting your valuable bodyshell from damage and extending the life of your RC model's body.
- Precision Manufacturing for Easy Installation — Every post is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit to your ARRMA vehicle with no modification or forcing required, making installation straightforward and hassle-free.
- Multiple Mounting Holes for Height Adjustment — The included front and rear body mounts feature multiple mounting hole positions, allowing you to adjust your bodyshell height precisely to suit your driving style, track conditions and personal preferences.
- Clipless Body Mounting System Compatibility — These posts are specifically engineered for vehicles with clipless body mounting systems, providing a secure hold without the need for separate clips or additional fasteners.
- Front and Rear Coverage — This set includes both 1 x Front Body Mount and 1 x Rear Body Mount, giving you a complete solution for both ends of your vehicle rather than requiring multiple separate purchases.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Body Post Set Z-ARA-1628 demonstrates engineering excellence across every aspect of its design. Constructed from durable composite material, these posts offer the perfect balance between rigidity and compliance—stiff enough to hold your bodyshell securely in place, yet flexible enough to absorb the shocks and vibrations inherent to RC vehicle operation. The composite material selection is critical; unlike brittle plastic alternatives that can shatter on impact, or soft materials that deform under sustained pressure, ARRMA's composite formulation maintains dimensional stability across the temperature ranges and stress conditions typical of UK RC driving. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each post meets exact specifications, with carefully positioned mounting holes that enable fine-tuning of body height adjustment without compromising structural integrity. The design philosophy focuses on longevity and performance reliability—key priorities for any RC vehicle owner who wants their spare parts to outlast the abuse they inevitably receive during aggressive driving sessions. Whether you're running on tarmac, dirt, gravel or mixed surfaces, these posts deliver consistent performance and protection to your vehicle's bodyshell.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles are compatible with the Z-ARA-1628 body post set? — This body post set is compatible with the ARRMA 1/10 SENTON 223S BLX Brushless 4X4 Short Course Truck RTR with DSC models, including the Red (C-ARA4303V4T2), Yellow (C-ARA4303V4T1), and Blue/Purple (C-ARA4303V4T3) variants. If you own one of these brushless short course trucks, this is the genuine OEM spare part you need.
- Why would I need to replace my body posts? — Over time, body posts wear out from repeated impacts, UV exposure, temperature cycles and the constant vibration of off-road driving. Cracked, bent or permanently deformed posts can no longer cushion your bodyshell effectively, leading to bodyshell damage and poor fitment. Replacing them with fresh ARRMA original parts restores protection and mounting security.
- What are the advantages of composite material body posts over plastic alternatives? — Composite material offers superior durability compared to standard plastic posts, resisting cracking and splitting even under sustained stress. The material also maintains better dimensional stability across temperature ranges, meaning your bodyshell height adjustments remain consistent whether you're driving in warm summer conditions or cooler British weather.
- Can I adjust my bodyshell height with this body post set? — Yes, absolutely. The multiple mounting holes on both the front and rear body mounts enable a large range of body height adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune your RC car's aesthetics, aerodynamics and handling characteristics to suit different track layouts and driving styles.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While this is a spare part rather than a complete vehicle, beginners who already own an ARRMA 1/10 SENTON 223S BLX will find this set straightforward to install. The precision manufacturing ensures easy fit without requiring special tools or technical expertise, making it an accessible upgrade or maintenance item for drivers of all experience levels.
- How long do body posts typically last? — The lifespan depends on driving intensity and conditions. Casual weekend bashers might enjoy many months of use, while competitive racers who push their vehicles harder may need replacements more frequently. Having a spare set on hand ensures you're never left sidelined if damage occurs.
