Key Features
- Strong and Flexible Polycarbonate Material — The body shell is constructed from premium polycarbonate that provides both durability and flexibility, allowing it to absorb impacts during crashes and rough track conditions without cracking or splitting, ensuring your investment in this replacement body delivers long-lasting performance.
- Aggressive Styling and Advanced Aerodynamics — The TYPHON 6S body features an aggressive design that not only looks fantastic but has been engineered to provide advanced aerodynamic performance at high speeds, helping to maintain stability and handling during fast runs on the track.
- Pre-Painted Trim Scheme — Gone are the days of spending hours painting your own body shell; this pre-painted black and red finish arrives ready to use, delivering an eye-catching, professional appearance straight out of the box that makes your RC buggy stand out from the crowd.

Technical Performance
This 1/8 scale painted body shell is engineered specifically for the ARRMA TYPHON 6S platform, which represents one of the most capable and popular brushless 4WD buggies available to the RC community in the UK. The polycarbonate material has been selected for its optimal balance of strength and flexibility—rigid enough to hold its shape and protect your chassis during high-speed running, yet flexible enough to flex under impact without permanent deformation or cracking. The body's aggressive aerodynamic profile has been developed to minimise lift and drag during high-speed running, which is particularly important for a vehicle designed to handle the 50+ mph performance envelope of the TYPHON 6S brushless drivetrain. The pre-painted finish uses automotive-grade paint application processes to ensure colour fastness and durability, whilst the factory-applied decals are sealed to resist fading from UV exposure and moisture. The pre-drilled bodypost holes are positioned to work seamlessly with the standard body post retainers (sold separately as AR390178), ensuring a secure, rattle-free fit that won't shift during aggressive cornering or high-speed racing.

- Which TYPHON 6S models is this body shell compatible with? — This painted body shell is compatible with multiple ARRMA TYPHON 6S variants, including the 1/8 TYPHON 6S 4x4 RTR Brushless Buggy (ARA106046), the TYPHON 6S 4x4 RTR Brushless Buggy in Black (ARA8606V5), the TYPHON 6S TLR Tuned 4x4 Roller Brushless Buggy in Pink/Purple (ARA8306), and the TYPHON 6S TLR Tuned 4x4 RTR Brushless Buggy in Red/Blue (ARA8406). Always verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Do I need any additional parts to fit this body shell? — Yes, you will need the AR390178 Body Clip Retainers (1/8 Scale, Black, 4pcs) to secure the body to your chassis. These retainers are essential for keeping the body shell properly mounted during running and are sold separately.
- Is this body shell suitable for beginners? — Yes, this replacement body shell is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. The pre-painted finish means you don't need painting experience, and the pre-drilled mounting holes make installation straightforward. If you already own a TYPHON 6S buggy and want a quick body replacement or cosmetic upgrade, this shell is perfect for you.
- What material is the body shell made from? — The body shell is manufactured from premium polycarbonate, a material chosen specifically for its durability, flexibility, and ability to withstand impacts. This polycarbonate construction ensures the body won't shatter on impact like some cheaper alternatives, whilst still maintaining its shape and aesthetic appeal through extended use.
- How does the pre-painted finish compare to painting my own body? — The factory pre-painted finish saves you significant time and hassle compared to painting your own body shell. The manufacturer uses professional automotive-grade paint application techniques and processes, which typically result in a more consistent, durable, and high-quality finish than what most hobbyists can achieve at home. Additionally, the factory-applied decals are sealed and aligned with precision, ensuring professional-looking results.
- Will the decals fade or peel off over time? — The high-quality decals are applied during the manufacturing process and sealed to resist fading from UV exposure and moisture. With normal use and proper care, the decals should maintain their appearance throughout the lifespan of the body shell. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials when cleaning your buggy to help preserve the decal finish.
