Key Features

- Protective Over-spray Film Included — A protective over-spray film is provided with the bodyshell, creating a clean, professional finish when you apply custom paint and preventing overspray from damaging areas you want to keep clear, streamlining your custom painting process significantly.
- OUTCAST Vinyl Decal Sheet Included — The package includes an official OUTCAST vinyl decal sheet with authentic factory graphics and design elements, allowing you to add professional detail and branding to your custom painted shell with authentic ARRMA styling.
- Crystal Clear Finish — The unpainted clear polycarbonate finish allows light to pass through, creating stunning visual effects when combined with metallic or pearl custom paint schemes, and the transparency enables you to showcase any internal chassis components you wish to display.
- Purpose-designed for the Outcast Platform — This bodyshell is specifically engineered and tested for the ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX truggy, ensuring perfect aerodynamic design, optimal weight distribution, and complete compatibility with all standard Outcast mounting points and hardware.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Outcast Z-AR406086 bodyshell is engineered from premium polycarbonate, a material renowned in competitive RC racing and bashing for combining lightweight properties with exceptional impact resistance. The 1/8 scale bodyshell is specifically dimensioned to fit the Outcast 6S BLX platform, a brushless RC truggy renowned for high-speed off-road performance and durability. The polycarbonate construction provides superior durability compared to standard painted bodies, maintaining structural integrity through impacts that would crack or break lesser materials. The pre-trimmed design eliminates post-purchase preparation time, allowing you to move directly from unboxing to custom painting. The included protective over-spray film ensures professional-quality paint finishes by protecting clear areas during the customisation process. The body's compatibility with the Outcast 6S BLX platform means it integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's brushless powertrain, advanced suspension geometry, and high-performance electronics. The included OUTCAST vinyl decals provide authentic factory styling options that can be applied to your custom paint scheme, giving your RC truggy a finished, professional appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this bodyshell fit my ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX RC truggy? — Yes, this Z-AR406086 bodyshell is specifically designed and engineered for the ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX platform. It comes pre-trimmed to factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment to all standard mounting points and body posts without any modification or adjustment required.
- What type of paint should I use on this polycarbonate bodyshell? — You must use specialist polycarbohydrate (polycarbonate) paint designed specifically for RC car bodies, such as ARRMA's own body paint range or equivalent products from specialist RC suppliers. Standard automotive paint will not adhere properly to polycarbonate and may crack or peel. Never use enamel or oil-based paints on polycarbonate bodies.
- Is this a replacement body for a damaged shell or a custom painting project? — This clear bodyshell is ideal for both purposes. You can use it as a replacement if your original body is damaged, or as a fresh canvas for creating custom paint schemes and graphics. The included protective over-spray film makes the custom painting process professional and straightforward.
- What makes polycarbonate better than painted plastic bodies? — Polycarbonate is significantly more impact-resistant than standard painted plastic, meaning it will withstand collisions and rough bashing without cracking or breaking as easily. The clear material also allows for creative custom paint effects and the transparency can showcase internal components. Polycarbonate maintains structural integrity through repeated impacts common in off-road RC driving.
- Do I need any tools to fit this bodyshell? — Since the body comes pre-trimmed, fitting is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools such as a body post tool or small pliers to secure the body clips. No trimming tools are necessary unless you wish to make custom modifications beyond the pre-cut dimensions.
- Can I use decals from other ARRMA models on this bodyshell? — Whilst many ARRMA decals may physically fit, the Z-AR406086 is optimised for the Outcast body shape and proportions. The included OUTCAST vinyl decal sheet is specifically designed for this bodyshell and will fit perfectly with proper alignment. Using decals designed for other models may not align correctly or may cover critical areas.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — The polycarbonate used in ARRMA bodyshells is professional-grade material proven in competitive racing and extreme bashing applications. It resists impact damage, maintains clarity through UV exposure, and won't yellow or degrade as quickly as cheaper plastics. This durability makes it excellent value for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC? — This bodyshell is primarily suited for users who already own an ARRMA Outcast 6S BLX and wish to customise it. Custom painting requires some skill and patience, though the included protective film makes the process more forgiving. If you're new to RC, you may prefer to purchase a ready-painted body shell first, then move to custom painting projects as your experience grows.
