Overview
The ARRMA Body Clip Retainers in Black are essential replacement parts for your 1/5 scale RC car, specifically designed for the ARRMA Kraton and Outcast 8S models. These retainers are precision-engineered components that secure your RC body shell firmly to the chassis, ensuring it stays in place during aggressive driving, high-speed runs, and competitive racing. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to maintain your brushless RC truck or a UK-based hobbyist who needs reliable replacement parts, these body clip retainers deliver the quality and durability you'd expect from ARRMA's trusted range of RC accessories and fittings.
Body clip retainers are often overlooked, but they play a critical role in the overall performance and safety of your 1/5 scale RC vehicle. Without properly functioning retainers, your bodyshell can shift during cornering, acceleration, or over rough terrain, which not only affects the aerodynamics and stability of your RC truck but can also lead to damage or loss of the body itself. That's why investing in genuine ARRMA replacement retainers is a smart choice for anyone who takes their RC car UK hobby seriously.
These black retainers come as a set of four, providing you with enough components to fully secure your body or keep spares on hand for future maintenance. ARRMA is recognised globally for producing high-quality RC parts and accessories, and this product exemplifies their commitment to durability and performance. Whether you're preparing for weekend bashing sessions or getting your RC ready for the track, these body clip retainers are an indispensable addition to your spare parts collection.
Key Features
- 1/5 Scale Compatibility — These retainers are specifically engineered for 1/5 scale ARRMA models, particularly the Kraton and Outcast 8S brushless stunt trucks, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal body security every time you drive.
- Pack of Four — You receive four body clip retainers in each pack, providing complete coverage for your RC body shell or giving you spares for future maintenance and repairs.
- Durable Black Construction — The black finish not only looks professional but also indicates robust, quality construction that will withstand repeated use and the stresses of aggressive RC driving.
- Precision Engineering — As an ARRMA genuine part, these retainers are manufactured to exacting standards to ensure consistent, reliable performance across every use.
- Essential Maintenance Part — Body clip retainers wear over time with use; having replacement parts on hand means you can maintain peak performance without costly downtime or waiting for parts to arrive.
- Universal Body Mounting Solution — These retainers work with standard body shells for your 1/5 scale RC truck, making them a versatile part to keep in your spares box.
Technical Performance
ARRMA's body clip retainers are manufactured from high-quality materials designed to withstand the demands of 1/5 scale RC driving. The retainers feature a robust construction that securely grips your body shell without damaging it, whilst remaining easy to install and remove for quick body changes or maintenance. The engineering behind these components means they maintain consistent grip strength even after repeated installation and removal cycles, which is crucial if you regularly swap bodies or perform chassis maintenance on your brushless RC truck. The black colour finish provides both aesthetic appeal and indicates the quality polymer or composite material used in their construction. For owners of ARRMA's powerful 8S brushless systems like those found in the Outcast 8S models, these retainers are specifically calibrated to handle the vibration and movement that comes from high-powered RC performance, ensuring your bodyshell stays perfectly positioned whether you're bashing across rough terrain or navigating tight competitive course layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body clip retainers compatible with my ARRMA RC car? — These retainers are specifically designed for 1/5 scale ARRMA models, including the Kraton and Outcast 8S. If you own either of these brushless stunt trucks, these retainers will fit perfectly. Always check your vehicle's model number (such as C-ARA5810V2T1 for the Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB) to confirm compatibility.
- Why do I need replacement body clip retainers? — Body clip retainers are wearing parts that can degrade over time with repeated use, temperature changes, and exposure to the elements. If your body shell feels loose or shifts during driving, replacement retainers will restore a secure fit and ensure safe operation of your RC car UK hobby.

- Can I use these on other RC brands? — These are ARRMA-specific parts engineered for ARRMA 1/5 scale vehicles. For compatibility with other brands, consult your vehicle's manual or contact RC support. ARRMA parts are optimised for ARRMA vehicles to ensure perfect fit and performance.
- How do I install body clip retainers? — Body clip retainers are simple to install; they typically clip onto your body posts or mounting points and grip the body shell to hold it securely in place. Detailed installation instructions are usually provided with your ARRMA vehicle manual or available on the ARRMA website.
