Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — Each guard is moulded from impact-resistant polycarbonate material, which means your guards will withstand crashes, collisions and rough terrain without cracking or shattering like inferior plastic alternatives, protecting both the guards themselves and your vehicle's chassis underneath.
- Comprehensive Guard Coverage — The set includes left and right front guards, left and right rear guards, and a rear concealer panel, providing complete protective coverage of all four sides of your vehicle plus rear protection for a fully finished look.
- High-Quality Pre-Cut Vinyl Decal Sheet — The included FIRETEAM 6S BLX exterior decal sheet is factory pre-cut and designed specifically for this guard set, ensuring professional fitment and allowing you to add authentic ARRMA branding and custom details to your vehicle straight out of the box.
- Protective Over-Spray Film — A protective film layer is included, which means you can safely apply custom paint or polycarbonate-safe spray finishes without worrying about overspray damaging protected areas, making the customisation process faster and easier for both beginners and experienced builders.
- Clear Polycarbonate Finish — The transparent clear finish allows full visibility of any interior modifications, custom paint schemes, or decorative elements you've applied beneath, whilst maintaining the protective function of the guards and providing a sleek, professional appearance.
- FIRETEAM 6S Specific Design — These guards are engineered and tested specifically for the ARRMA FIRETEAM 6S BLX platform, ensuring perfect fitment, proper alignment and optimal performance without modification or adjustment required.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA 1/7 Guard Set represents a significant upgrade in terms of both protection and customisation capability for your FIRETEAM 6S BLX vehicle. The polycarbonate material used in construction offers superior impact resistance compared to standard plastic alternatives, meaning your guards will absorb punishment during aggressive driving, crashes and jumps without permanent deformation or breakage. This is particularly important for 1/7 scale RC vehicles, which are raced and bashed at significant speeds and intensity. The clear polycarbonate is engineered to maintain optical clarity even after repeated impacts, allowing the professional appearance of your custom paint or decal work to shine through. The guard set has been specifically engineered and tested for the FIRETEAM 6S platform, which means the fitment tolerances are precise and the guards align perfectly with the vehicle's wheelbase and overall geometry. The included FIRETEAM 6S BLX exterior decals are pre-cut to exact specifications, eliminating the need for scissor work and ensuring professional results every time. The protective over-spray film allows you to apply polycarbonate-safe spray paint or brush-on finishes with confidence, as the film protects underlying surfaces from paint overspray and drips. Whether you're building a showroom-quality custom display piece or a competition-ready racing vehicle, this guard set provides the foundation you need for a professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I paint these ARRMA FIRETEAM 6S guards myself? — Yes, absolutely. The guards are moulded from clear polycarbonate, which is specifically designed to accept polycarbonate-safe spray paint or brush-on paint finishes. The protective over-spray film included in the box allows you to paint safely without damaging protected areas, making the process straightforward even for first-time painters. Simply mask off the areas you want to protect, apply your chosen paint colour, and allow proper drying time for professional results.
- What makes these guards better than standard plastic alternatives? — These guards are moulded from high-impact polycarbonate rather than standard ABS plastic, which means they offer superior durability, impact resistance and flexibility. Polycarbonate is significantly more resistant to cracking and shattering when your RC vehicle crashes or hits obstacles, protecting both the guards themselves and the chassis underneath. This means you get better protection for your vehicle and longer-lasting guard components that maintain their appearance through repeated bashing sessions.
- Are these guards compatible with my FIRETEAM 6S BLX vehicle? — Yes, these guards are engineered and tested specifically for the ARRMA FIRETEAM 6S BLX platform, ensuring perfect fitment without modification. The design accounts for the exact wheelbase, suspension geometry and overall proportions of the FIRETEAM 6S BLX chassis, meaning installation is straightforward and the guards align perfectly with your vehicle's body lines.
- Do the included decals fit these guards perfectly? — Yes, the FIRETEAM 6S BLX exterior decal sheet is pre-cut specifically for this guard set, which means every piece is sized and positioned correctly for perfect fitment without scissors work or adjustment. This ensures a professional appearance and saves time during the assembly process.
- Can I use these guards with other ARRMA 1/7 models? — These guards are specifically designed for the FIRETEAM 6S platform. Whilst other ARRMA 1/7 scale vehicles like the MOJAVE may have similar dimensions, fitment is not guaranteed. For compatibility with other ARRMA 1/7 models, we recommend checking with your RC model shop or consulting the ARRMA compatibility charts to ensure proper fitment before purchasing.
- What tools do I need to install these guards? — The guard set simply requires installation on your existing FIRETEAM 6S BLX frame using the standard mounting points. No special tools or modifications are typically required, though you may want to have sandpaper and paint preparation materials ready if you plan to apply custom paintwork to the clear polycarbonate surface.
