As part of the ARRMA Fireteam 6S spares range, these side guards are an excellent addition to any RC car owner's toolkit. The composite construction ensures they can withstand impacts and collisions that are an inevitable part of RC driving, from off-road adventures to high-speed track sessions. When you're investing in a quality brushless RC vehicle like the Fireteam 6S, protecting your chassis with genuine ARRMA spares ensures your model maintains peak performance and structural integrity over the long term.
These side guards are designed with precision engineering to fit perfectly on your ARRMA Fireteam 6S, offering seamless integration with your existing vehicle setup. If you're shopping for RC car spares online or in the UK, choosing genuine manufacturer parts like these ensures compatibility and quality that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match. The inclusion of two side guards means you have complete coverage for both sides of your vehicle's chassis.
Key Features
- High-Quality Composite Material — These side guards are moulded from tough, durable composite material that provides excellent impact resistance without adding excessive weight to your RC model. The composite construction offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your guards will survive countless bashing sessions and competitive runs.
- Precision Moulded Design — Each guard is precision moulded to accurately mount to the side of your ARRMA Fireteam 6S vehicle, ensuring perfect fitment every time. This precision engineering eliminates any guesswork during installation and guarantees that your guards will remain securely in place during aggressive driving, jumps and impacts.
- Chassis Protection — The primary function of these side guards is to protect your RC car's chassis from direct impacts and collisions. During off-road driving, jumps, and side-on crashes, these guards absorb impact energy and shield your vehicle's frame from damage, reducing repair costs and downtime.
- Body Support — Beyond simple protection, these side guards also support the sides of your vehicle's body, helping to maintain structural integrity and preventing body flex during aggressive driving. This additional support can improve overall vehicle rigidity and handling characteristics during high-speed runs.
- Pair Included — You receive two side guards in this package, providing complete left and right side coverage for your ARRMA Fireteam 6S. This means you can replace damaged guards or maintain a backup set without purchasing multiple packages.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Side Guards Z-ARA320689 are engineered with performance-oriented durability in mind. The composite material used in their construction strikes an ideal balance between weight and strength, ensuring they provide reliable protection without significantly increasing your RC model's overall mass. This is crucial for maintaining the performance characteristics of your Fireteam 6S, particularly when running 6S LiPo battery packs that demand quick acceleration and responsive handling. The precision moulding process ensures that each guard maintains consistent thickness and density throughout, providing uniform impact absorption across the entire surface. The mounting system is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Fireteam 6S chassis geometry, ensuring that guards can be quickly removed for maintenance or replaced if damaged. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who are serious about protecting their investment and maximising their vehicle's lifespan, these genuine ARRMA spares deliver the engineering quality and durability you expect from the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these side guards compatible with all ARRMA RC models? — These side guards are specifically designed for the ARRMA Fireteam 6S. Whilst ARRMA produces a range of high-quality RC vehicles from small-scale buggies to large 6S monster trucks, it's important to verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing. Always check the model number (Z-ARA320689) against your vehicle's documentation to ensure correct fitment.
- Will these side guards fit my Fireteam 6S without modification? — Yes, these guards are precision moulded to accurately mount to the Fireteam 6S without any modification required. The design ensures a perfect fit that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle's chassis and body geometry.
- What's the benefit of composite material over plastic? — Composite material provides superior durability and impact resistance compared to standard plastic. It can absorb and dissipate impact energy more effectively, meaning your guards will remain intact after collisions that might crack or shatter plastic alternatives. This translates to better protection for your chassis and reduced maintenance costs over time.
- Can I replace just one side guard? — Whilst you receive two guards in this package, you can certainly purchase additional sets if you only need to replace one damaged guard. However, it's recommended to maintain a matching pair for symmetrical protection and appearance.
- Why should I choose genuine ARRMA spares over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA parts like these side guards are engineered to exact specifications and designed to integrate perfectly with your vehicle. Aftermarket parts may have inconsistent quality, poor fitment, or inadequate durability. By choosing genuine manufacturer spares, you ensure your RC model receives the quality protection it deserves.
- How do I install these side guards? — These guards are designed for precision mounting to your Fireteam 6S chassis. Consult your vehicle's manual for detailed installation instructions. The precision moulding ensures straightforward installation without complex modifications or additional hardware.
