Technical Performance
The ARRMA 1/7 Exterior Body Panel Set is engineered from high-grade polycarbonate, a material selection that directly impacts the durability and performance of your RC vehicle's bodywork. Polycarbonate offers superior impact resistance compared to standard plastic, meaning these panels will absorb impacts and collisions without cracking, splitting, or becoming damaged during normal bashings and competitive driving. The 1/7 scale sizing is designed to perfectly complement the FIRETEAM 6S platform, which is a high-performance off-road truck capable of delivering impressive speed and agility across varied terrain. The clear transparent nature of the polycarbonate allows visible light transmission whilst maintaining structural rigidity, making these panels suitable for both display purposes and active driving use. The pre-cut design of the hood, rear, and roof panels ensures precise fitment to your FIRETEAM chassis without requiring modifications or adjustments. The inclusion of FIRETEAM 6S BLX vinyl decals means you can add factory-authentic graphics to your custom paint scheme, whilst the protective over-spray film eliminates the need for complex masking techniques during the painting process. These panels are designed to work specifically with polycarbonate-safe spray paints or brush-on paints, ensuring compatibility with RC-specific painting products that won't damage or degrade the polycarbonate material.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use standard RC car paint on these polycarbonate panels? — These panels specifically require polycarbonate-safe spray paint or brush-on paint. Standard paints may damage or degrade the polycarbonate material, so it's essential to use products formulated for compatibility with polycarbonate body shells. RC-specific body paint is recommended and widely available from RC retailers across the UK.
- Are these panels compatible with all ARRMA FIRETEAM models? — These exterior body panels are specifically designed for the ARRMA FIRETEAM 6S BLX platform. Compatibility with other variants should be verified before purchase to ensure proper fitment and alignment with your specific vehicle.
- What's the difference between the clear and painted exterior panel options? — The clear panel set provides a transparent foundation that you customise with your own paint scheme, whilst painted options like the Black Camo variant come pre-finished. The clear option offers maximum creative control and customisation potential if you want a unique design.
- How durable are polycarbonate body panels compared to other materials? — Polycarbonate is specifically chosen for RC vehicles because it offers excellent impact resistance, making these panels more durable than basic plastic alternatives. They're designed to absorb impacts from crashes and rough terrain without cracking, which extends the lifespan of your body panels significantly.
- Do I need any special tools to fit these panels to my FIRETEAM? — The pre-cut panels are engineered for precise fitment to your FIRETEAM 6S BLX chassis. Standard RC tools and basic fasteners should be sufficient for installation, though specific mounting hardware requirements should be verified with the manufacturer's assembly instructions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, these body panels are suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. If you're new to custom painting RC bodies, the included protective over-spray film makes the painting process significantly easier by eliminating complex masking requirements. Following basic painting best practices will yield professional-looking results.
