- Optimised for High-Speed Performance — The aerodynamic design of this diffuser has been engineered specifically for the VENDETTA platform to maintain stability and downforce during high-velocity driving, helping you maintain traction and control at the limits of performance.

Technical Performance
This ARRMA VENDETTA Diffuser is engineered from premium polycarbonate material measuring 1.0mm in thickness, which provides an optimal combination of lightweight construction and structural durability essential for high-speed RC racing and aggressive off-road driving. The polycarbonate formulation offers excellent impact resistance, which is particularly valuable for UK-based RC enthusiasts who regularly compete at indoor tracks, outdoor racing circuits, or challenging off-road terrain where minor collisions and debris impacts are inevitable. The clear polycarbonate material is transparent enough to allow light to pass through, making it suitable for use with LED lighting systems integrated into your VENDETTA if desired. Pre-cut and pre-drilled with precision-engineered mounting holes, this diffuser fits exactly into the VENDETTA's chassis structure without requiring any custom modification, boring, or adjustment. The aerodynamic profile has been specifically developed for the VENDETTA platform to work in harmony with the vehicle's existing body and chassis design, promoting efficient air flow and maintaining downforce during sustained high-speed acceleration and cornering manoeuvres. For those planning to paint this diffuser, you'll need to source polycarbonate-compatible paint to ensure the finish adheres properly and maintains flexibility with the material underneath – this prevents paint cracking or peeling during thermal expansion and contraction as the vehicle operates in varying temperature conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this clear diffuser fit my VENDETTA without modification? — Yes, this is a genuine ARRMA spare part designed specifically for the VENDETTA platform. It arrives pre-cut and pre-drilled with all mounting holes precisely positioned to match your chassis, meaning you can install it without any custom drilling, cutting, or modification work required.
- What paint should I use on polycarbonate? — You'll need to use paint that is specifically formulated for polycarbonate material. This ensures the paint adheres properly to the clear material and maintains flexibility as the polycarbonate expands and contracts with temperature changes during use. Standard automotive or acrylics paints may not adhere correctly and could crack or peel.
- Can I use this diffuser without painting it? — Absolutely. The clear finish looks modern and minimalist, and you can leave it unpainted if you prefer. Some RC enthusiasts appreciate the transparent look, particularly if their VENDETTA body is coloured and you want to showcase the internal chassis components. However, painting it allows complete creative customisation of your vehicle's appearance.
- Is this suitable for competitive racing? — Yes. This is a genuine ARRMA VENDETTA diffuser engineered for high-performance operation. The aerodynamic design supports optimised air flow during high-speed driving, and the durable 1.0mm polycarbonate construction can withstand the demands of competitive racing on UK circuits and tracks.
- What is the thickness of this diffuser? — The diffuser is manufactured from 1.0mm thick polycarbonate material, which provides the ideal balance between lightweight design and structural durability, ensuring it can withstand impacts and sustained high-speed driving without excessive flex or damage.
- Can I fit this diffuser myself? — Yes. Because it arrives pre-cut and pre-drilled, installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools or expertise. Simply position it on your VENDETTA chassis and secure it using the pre-drilled mounting holes. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes.
