Overview
The ARRMA Clear Body with Decals for the KRATON 6S BLX (model Z-ARA406158) is an essential replacement bodyshell for owners of this high-performance 1/8 scale RC monster truck. Whether you're looking to refresh your KRATON 6S BLX after a heavy bashing session or want to create a completely custom painted design, this genuine ARRMA body provides the perfect foundation. As one of the most popular 6S brushless RC trucks on the market, the KRATON 6S BLX demands quality components, and this official bodyshell delivers exactly that.
This clear polycarbonate bodyshell is specifically engineered for the KRATON 6S platform, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your existing chassis. The un-painted finish gives you total creative freedom—whether you prefer a striking custom paint scheme, a race-inspired livery, or a factory-style restoration. If you're new to customising RC car bodies in the UK, this product comes with a protective over-spray film that makes the painting process fast and straightforward, even for beginners trying their hand at body customisation for the first time.
Included with the bodyshell is a complete KRATON 6S BLX vinyl decal sheet, allowing you to add authentic detail and branding to your finished design. This genuine ARRMA product combines durability, ease of use and professional results—making it an ideal choice for anyone running a KRATON 6S BLX and wanting to maintain or upgrade their vehicle's appearance.
Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which provides significantly increased impact resistance compared to standard plastic bodies. This means your custom-painted creation will withstand the inevitable bashings and crashes that come with serious RC driving, maintaining its appearance and structural integrity through countless hours of off-road action.
- Included KRATON 6S BLX Decal Sheet — A complete vinyl decal sheet is supplied with this bodyshell, allowing you to add factory-style graphics, sponsor logos, or custom designs to your finished body. Decals are essential for bringing your personalised RC truck to life and adding that professional competition or show-quality appearance.
- Protective Over-Spray Film — The bodyshell comes with a protective over-spray film already applied, which makes custom painting significantly faster and easier. This film masks off the areas you don't want painted (such as windows and trim lines), meaning you can spray or brush-paint your design without worrying about protecting delicate edges—a huge time-saver for hobby painters and serious enthusiasts alike.
- Un-Painted Clear Finish — Supplied in crystal clear polycarbonate, this bodyshell gives you absolute creative control. The transparency allows light through the body, and the blank canvas means you can create any design imaginable, from realistic truck liveries to wild custom colour schemes.
- Genuine ARRMA Product — As an official ARRMA component, this bodyshell is engineered to exact specifications, ensuring perfect panel gaps, correct mounting points and authentic fitment to your KRATON 6S BLX chassis.
Technical Performance
This bodyshell is engineered specifically for the 1/8 scale KRATON 6S BLX platform, one of the most capable and fastest 6S brushless RC monster trucks available. The polycarbonate material used throughout provides an excellent balance of impact resistance and weight efficiency—crucial for a truck designed to handle high-speed bashings and aggressive driving. The clear material allows for lightweight construction whilst maintaining the rigidity needed to protect your chassis during collisions. The included protective over-spray film is precision-cut to the bodyshell's contours, ensuring that when you paint your design, the results are clean, professional and protected from accidental overspray. The vinyl decal sheet coordinates perfectly with the body's panel lines and window openings, providing authentic KRATON 6S BLX branding that matches factory specifications. For those running the latest KRATON 6S BLX platform, this bodyshell offers direct fitment; however, please note that if you own a pre-2019 specification KRATON model, you will require the AR320357 Body Post Set and AR320365 Body Post Mounts to achieve proper fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this clear body compatible with my KRATON 6S BLX? — Yes, this bodyshell is engineered specifically for the KRATON 6S BLX platform and will fit current-generation models directly. If you own a pre-2019 specification KRATON, you will need to purchase the AR320357 Body Post Set and AR320365 Body Post Mounts separately to achieve correct fitment.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate bodyshell? — You must use polycarbonate-safe spray paint or brush-on paint only. Using standard automotive or enamel paints can damage polycarbonate and cause crazing or cracking. Most RC hobby shops stock dedicated polycarbonate paints formulated specifically for RC car bodies.
- Do I need experience to paint this bodyshell? — Not necessarily. The protective over-spray film included with this bodyshell masks off delicate areas like windows and trim lines, making the painting process much more forgiving for beginners. Even first-time RC body painters can achieve professional-looking results with basic spray cans or an airbrush.
- Will the decals fit correctly on my body? — Yes, the vinyl decal sheet is precision-engineered to fit the KRATON 6S BLX body's panel lines and contours, ensuring authentic factory-style graphics that align perfectly with the body's features.
- How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate offers excellent durability and impact resistance, making it ideal for high-performance RC trucks like the KRATON 6S BLX that experience frequent collisions and heavy bashings. It is significantly tougher than standard plastic whilst remaining lightweight.
- Can I use this body on other ARRMA models? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the KRATON 6S BLX. Whilst ARRMA produces several other excellent models, body shells are model-specific due to different chassis dimensions and mounting points. Always verify your model number before purchasing.
