The precision-machined construction ensures perfect fitment and optimal performance, making it an essential upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts who demand the best from their ready-to-run RC cars and trucks. The anodised red finish not only protects the aluminium from corrosion but also gives your vehicle a premium, custom appearance that stands out on the track or in the field.
RC Model Shop is proud to stock this genuine ARRMA component, and we're confident this upgrade will take your RC experience to the next level. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your setup or a weekend basher looking to strengthen your vehicle's chassis, this spacer set is the perfect addition to your RC toolkit.
Key Features
- Precision-Machined Aluminium Construction — Each spacer is precision-machined from high-quality aluminium to exact specifications, ensuring consistent fitment and reliability across multiple installations and replacement cycles. This manufacturing process eliminates the tolerances found in molded composite alternatives, delivering superior accuracy and durability.
- Anodised ARRMA Red Finish — The anodised red colour coating provides multiple benefits including corrosion resistance, enhanced durability, and an authentic ARRMA aesthetic that matches your vehicle's factory colour scheme perfectly. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that prevents wear and discolouration even during intense use.
- Direct Replacement for Composite Parts — Designed as a drop-in replacement for the molded composite chassis brace spacers found on compatible ARRMA models, this upgrade requires no modification to your vehicle. The identical mounting points and specifications ensure hassle-free installation without additional tools or adjustment.
- Enhanced Chassis Strength — Aluminium offers superior rigidity compared to composite materials, providing additional chassis bracing that improves handling stability and reduces flexing during high-speed cornering and aggressive impacts. This translates to more predictable driving characteristics and improved durability for your RC investment.
- Two Different Lengths Included — The set includes both short and long spacer variants with different lengths, allowing you to customise your chassis setup and select the optimal configuration for your driving style and track conditions.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Chassis Brace Spacer Set represents a significant upgrade in materials engineering compared to standard composite alternatives. Both spacers feature identical internal diameter (ID) of 4.1mm and outer diameter (OD) of 12mm, ensuring compatibility with ARRMA's standard chassis mounting hardware. The short spacer measures 9.5mm in length, whilst the long spacer extends to 13.5mm, providing versatility in chassis configuration. The precision-machined tolerances ensure perfect fitment with no play or movement once installed, critical for maintaining consistent handling characteristics during competitive racing or high-speed bashings. The anodised aluminium material provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, adding minimal mass to your vehicle whilst significantly improving torsional rigidity. This engineering approach is particularly beneficial for 1/8 scale vehicles like the KRATON and TALION, where chassis flex can impact cornering precision and limit the effectiveness of your suspension tuning. The upgrade is compatible with multiple ARRMA EXB platform vehicles, confirming its widespread applicability across the ARRMA range of brushless RC cars available in the UK market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC vehicles is this spacer set compatible with? — This spacer set is designed for ARRMA EXB platform vehicles. Compatible models include the 1/8 KRATON 6S EXB 4x4 RTR Speed Monster Truck in black, the 1/7 TALION 6S EXB 4x4 RTR Speed Truck in black, the TYPHON 6S V5 BLX, and the 1/8 TLR Tuned TYPHON 6S 4WD BLX Buggy RTR available in red and blue variants. Always verify your vehicle's model number against the compatibility list before purchasing.
- Will these aluminium spacers fit my existing ARRMA vehicle without modification? — Yes, these spacers are designed as direct replacements for the molded composite parts on compatible vehicles. The identical mounting specifications and dimensions mean they will install without any modification to your chassis or mounting points. This makes upgrading quick and straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
- What are the advantages of aluminium spacers over composite ones? — Aluminium offers superior rigidity and strength compared to molded composite materials, providing enhanced chassis bracing that reduces flex during cornering and impacts. The anodised finish also provides better corrosion resistance and durability, whilst the precision-machined tolerances ensure tighter fitment and more consistent handling characteristics. These improvements are particularly noticeable on high-performance vehicles where chassis stiffness directly impacts lap times and overall control.
- Are these spacers suitable for beginners? — Yes, these spacers are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. Installation requires only basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC maintenance tools. The upgrade is straightforward enough for beginners to complete independently, yet delivers tangible performance benefits that will be appreciated by more experienced drivers as well.
- How do I install the chassis brace spacers? — Installation involves removing your vehicle's existing composite spacers and replacing them with the aluminium alternatives in the same positions. The mounting points remain identical, so simply unscrew the fasteners holding the composite parts, fit the new aluminium spacers, and reinstall the fasteners. Refer to your vehicle's manual for the specific chassis brace locations on your model.
- Will adding these spacers affect my vehicle's weight distribution? — Aluminium is lighter than composite materials, so upgrading to these spacers will have minimal impact on overall vehicle weight. The minimal weight addition is far outweighed by the improved structural rigidity and handling benefits provided by the upgrade.
