Technical Performance
The ARRMA 1/7 Inner Body is engineered to the same exacting standards as the full FIRETEAM 6S BLX platform. The polycarbonate material used in construction offers an ideal balance between weight savings and structural integrity, critical factors in maintaining the performance characteristics of your brushless RC vehicle. The clear polycarbonate formula allows light to pass through whilst providing sufficient opacity for paint adhesion and durability under UV exposure during outdoor use. At 1/7 scale, this inner body component is appropriately sized and proportioned to fit seamlessly within the FIRETEAM 6S BLX chassis without adding unnecessary weight that could compromise acceleration, braking, or handling. The pre-cut design means the body arrives with all necessary apertures already formed, eliminating the guesswork and potential for fitment issues. Whether you're running this on a track, in the garden, or on rough terrain, the polycarbonate construction maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal through demanding use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA 1/7 Inner Body Clear suitable for beginners in RC car UK hobby? — Yes, this component is suitable for anyone with basic RC maintenance skills. The installation process is straightforward once the body is painted, and the pre-cut design eliminates complex trimming. However, you will need experience with polycarbonate paint application or access to someone who can paint it for you. The decal application requires some care and patience but is manageable for most hobbyists.
- What type of paint should I use on this clear polycarbonate body? — You must use polycarbonate-safe spray or brush-on paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodyshells. Standard acrylic or enamel paints will not adhere properly and may crack or peel. Polycarbonate-safe paints are readily available from RC specialist retailers throughout the UK and are designed to flex with the material without cracking.
- Will this inner body fit my FIRETEAM 6S BLX vehicle without modification? — Yes, this component is specifically engineered for the FIRETEAM 6S BLX platform and arrives pre-cut for fast and efficient fitting after painting. No modifications or extensive trimming should be necessary, provided you follow the installation instructions carefully.
- What advantage does adding an inner body give to my RC vehicle? — An inner body dramatically enhances the visual realism and perceived scale of your RC model. It transforms the appearance from a basic shell into a detailed, authentic-looking miniature vehicle. The included decal sheet adds interior details that create the illusion of a fully equipped cockpit or cabin, significantly improving the overall aesthetics.
- Can I use this on models other than the FIRETEAM 6S BLX? — This component is specifically designed and tested for fitment on FIRETEAM 6S BLX vehicles. Attempting to use it on other platforms may result in poor fitment, misalignment, or mechanical interference. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- How long does it take to prepare and install this inner body? — Preparation time depends on your painting experience and the paint application method. Spray painting typically takes 2-3 hours including drying time between coats. Installation on the vehicle, once painted and dry, typically takes 15-30 minutes. Decal application adds another 30-45 minutes depending on the number of decals and your experience level.
