Key Features

This premium material ensures your custom painted body will maintain its structural integrity even during aggressive off-road driving and high-speed impacts, significantly extending the lifespan of your investment.
- Pre-Trimmed Design — The body arrives pre-trimmed and ready for installation, eliminating the need for time-consuming preparation work. This means you can get your custom painted body fitted to your NOTORIOUS 6S in minutes rather than hours, making it ideal for racers who want quick turnarounds between events.

This flexibility gives you complete creative control and allows you to design a truly unique RC car that stands out from the crowd.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA NOTORIOUS 6S BLX clear body represents quality engineering specifically designed for high-performance 1/8 scale brushless RC trucks. Constructed entirely from polycarbonate, the body weighs very little whilst providing maximum impact protection for your vehicle's internal components. The material choice is critical because polycarbonate offers superior flexibility compared to ABS plastic, meaning it absorbs impacts without shattering or cracking during hard crashes. The 1/8 scale dimensions are precisely engineered to fit the NOTORIOUS 6S frame perfectly, ensuring zero clearance issues and optimal aerodynamics. This body is classified for Stadium and Truggy-style trucks, making it suitable for both competitive racing environments and casual bashing. The pre-trimmed edges and pre-formed mounting points mean assembly takes seconds, allowing you to focus on the painting and customisation process rather than body preparation. The inclusion of a vinyl decal sheet means you have all the graphic elements needed to complete a professional-looking custom paint scheme. The protective over-spray film is a thoughtful engineering detail that protects the polycarbonate from paint overspray during application, keeping your body clean and extending its usable life significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body shell compatible with my ARRMA RC truck? — Yes, this NOTORIOUS 6S clear body is designed as a standard part for the ARRMA NOTORIOUS 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless Stunt Truck (model ARA106044 and ARA8611V5). It is also listed as compatible with OUTCAST 6S variants (ARA106042, ARA106060, and ARA8710), so check your specific model number to confirm fitment. The body is pre-trimmed for fast and easy installation on any compatible chassis.
- What is the advantage of a clear body over a pre-painted body? — A clear body shell gives you unlimited creative freedom to design your own custom colour scheme and artwork. Unlike pre-painted bodies that come in fixed colours, this transparent polycarbonate allows you to paint the interior any colour imaginable, apply custom graphics, or create unique designs that reflect your personal style. This makes it perfect for competitive racers who want distinctive branding or hobbyists who enjoy the customisation process.
- How difficult is it to paint a clear polycarbonate RC body? — Painting a polycarbonate RC body is straightforward, especially with the included protective over-spray film. Simply mask off areas you want to protect, apply your chosen lexan or polycarbonate paint to the interior surface, and use the provided decal sheet for graphic details. The pre-trimmed design means no complex body work is needed before painting. For beginners, many tutorials online provide step-by-step guidance, and the included decal sheet helps ensure professional-looking results without advanced design skills.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — You should use polycarbonate-specific paint (often called lexan paint) designed for RC body shells. These paints are formulated to adhere properly to polycarbonate material without cracking or peeling during use. Standard automotive paints may not bond correctly to the clear shell. The protective over-spray film included with your body helps prevent paint damage during application.
- Does this body come with mounting hardware? — The body comes as a shell only with the decal sheet and protective film. It is pre-trimmed and designed to fit directly onto your existing NOTORIOUS 6S chassis using the original mounting posts and hardware already fitted to your truck. No additional hardware is required for installation.
- How durable is polycarbonate for RC racing and bashing? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials for RC body shells, specifically chosen for its impact resistance and flexibility. It absorbs impacts without shattering like ABS plastic, making it ideal for competitive racing on rough terrain and aggressive bashing. After a crash, a polycarbonate body typically rebounds to its original shape rather than cracking. This durability means your custom-painted body will maintain its appearance and structural integrity through many hours of driving.
- Can I use this body on any ARRMA truck, or only NOTORIOUS 6S models? — This body is specifically designed for the NOTORIOUS 6S family of trucks. ARRMA lists it as a standard part for the NOTORIOUS 6S 4X4 RTR Brushless models and as compatible with OUTCAST 6S variants. Using it on other ARRMA models may result in fitment issues. Always verify your specific truck model against the compatibility list before purchasing.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this clear body is perfect for beginners who want to start customising their RC truck. The pre-trimmed design requires no complex body work, and the included decal sheet and protective over-spray film make the painting process straightforward. Beginners should start with simple colour schemes and gradually work up to more complex designs. Many RC hobbyists find body customisation an enjoyable and rewarding part of the hobby that enhances their connection to their vehicle.
