Overview
The ARRMA Body Clip Retainer 1/10 Scale Black (4) is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who want to protect their investment and avoid the frustration of losing body clips during intense off-road driving sessions. Whether you're running a brushless RC monster truck, short course truck, or stadium truck across the UK, these high-quality body clip retainers are designed to keep your clips securely tethered to your bodyshell at all times. This pack includes four retainers along with four medium-sized body clips, providing comprehensive protection for your RC vehicle's body during aggressive cornering, jumps, and rollovers.
If you've ever had the experience of your body clips becoming detached during a crash or rollover, you'll understand the value of these specialist retainers. Instead of losing expensive clips and having to replace them, these innovative ARRMA-branded retainers tether your body clips directly to the bodyshell itself. This means when your clip detaches from the body post during a collision, the retainer keeps it safely attached to your vehicle rather than disappearing into the grass or flying across the track. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts, whether you're into competitive racing or weekend bashing, this is a smart investment that will save you time and money in the long run.
ARRMA is renowned for producing high-quality accessories that enhance the performance and durability of ready-to-run RC vehicles. The Body Clip Retainer represents the brand's commitment to thoughtful engineering and practical solutions for real-world RC driving scenarios. Whether you're running a 3S brushless truck, a 4X4 monster truck, or any other ARRMA 1/10 scale vehicle, these retainers are compatible with a wide range of models and represent an affordable way to protect your bodyshell and clips from damage.
Key Features
- Strong, flexible rubber construction — These retainers are produced from premium-grade rubber that combines strength with flexibility, ensuring they can withstand repeated impacts and vibrations without cracking or degrading, whilst remaining pliable enough to absorb shock and movement as your vehicle operates.
- Specially designed bodyshell grommet attachment — The retainer features a grommet that has been specifically engineered to attach securely to the existing hole in your bodyshell, providing a reliable mounting point that distributes load evenly and won't tear or damage the body during use.
- Large pull tab for quick clip removal — Even when you're wearing gloves, have wet hands, or are operating in cold conditions, the oversized pull tab makes it remarkably easy to remove your body clips, ensuring you can quickly access your vehicle's chassis for maintenance and adjustments without frustration.
- ARRMA-branded quality assurance — These retainers carry the ARRMA brand, guaranteeing that you're purchasing parts designed and tested to work seamlessly with ARRMA vehicles, providing compatibility confidence and the backing of a trusted RC manufacturer.
- Includes medium body clips — Each pack comes supplied with four medium-sized body clips that are pre-matched to work perfectly with the retainers, so you have everything you need to get started immediately without additional purchases.
- Pack of four for comprehensive coverage — With four retainers and four matching clips included, you have enough to fully equip your 1/10 scale RC vehicle with redundancy, ensuring protection across all body attachment points.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Body Clip Retainer 1/10 Scale represents excellent engineering in rubber moulding and product design. Each retainer is manufactured to precise tolerances using durable elastomer compounds that maintain their flexibility across a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions, from cold winter RC sessions to hot summer bashing. The rubber material has been selected specifically for its ability to resist UV degradation, ozone cracking, and general weathering, ensuring these retainers will maintain their performance characteristics season after season. The grommet design is based on extensive testing with ARRMA 1/10 scale vehicles including brushless and brushed models, stadium trucks, short course trucks, monster trucks, and speed vehicles. The retainer's length and pull tab dimensions have been optimised to provide ergonomic operation even when wearing gloves or during wet weather RC driving conditions common in the UK climate. The medium body clips supplied are sized to provide secure but not over-tight clamping on bodyshells, preventing damage whilst maintaining excellent clip retention. Each retainer can be fitted in seconds using the straightforward fitting instructions provided, and the grommet design allows for quick removal and reinstallation without tools or specialist knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these body clip retainers fit my ARRMA 1/10 scale RC truck? — Yes, these are specifically designed for 1/10 scale ARRMA vehicles. The manufacturer specifications confirm compatibility with a comprehensive range of ARRMA 1/10 models including the GRANITE, SENTON, KRATON, VORTEKS, FURY, GORGON, BIG ROCK, and OUTCAST models in both brushed and brushless versions. The grommet size is standardised across the 1/10 ARRMA range, making these retainers universally compatible with 1/10 scale ARRMA vehicles.
- What happens when my body clip comes loose during a rollover? — Without retainers, your clip would simply fall off and be lost in the grass or on the track, requiring replacement. With these ARRMA retainers, the clip remains tethered to your bodyshell via the rubber retainer, so it stays with your vehicle at all times. This saves you money on replacements and means you can quickly reattach your clip and get back to driving.
- Are these retainers suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These retainers require no special tools, mechanical knowledge, or technical skills to install. The fitting instructions are straightforward, and the grommet simply slides onto the existing hole in your bodyshell. Even if you're new to RC car ownership in the UK, you'll have no trouble fitting these retainers to your vehicle in just a few minutes.
- Can I use these retainers with body clips other than the ones supplied? — The retainers are designed to work with medium-sized body clips, which is the standard size for 1/10 scale ARRMA vehicles. The supplied medium clips are perfectly matched to these retainers, though the design is compatible with other standard medium body clips if you need to use alternatives.
- How durable are these rubber retainers over time? — The rubber material is specifically selected for durability and UV resistance, meaning these retainers will maintain their flexibility and strength across multiple seasons of RC driving. Unlike plastic alternatives, the rubber won't become brittle in cold weather or crack under repeated stress, making them a long-term investment in protecting your bodyshell.
- Will the retainers work in wet weather driving conditions? — Yes, the rubber material is weather-resistant and the grommet design is fully waterproof, making these retainers ideal for UK RC driving where wet conditions are common. The large pull tab is specifically designed to work even with wet or cold hands, so you can operate your vehicle confidently in any weather.
