Overview
The ARRMA Side Guard Set Z-ARA320643 is an essential protective upgrade for your 1/10 scale Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck. Whether you're bashing through challenging terrain or competing in RC car UK events, these robust side guards provide critical protection to the centre of your vehicle from the relentless assault of dust, dirt, stones and mud. Designed specifically for the extra-long wheelbase chassis of the Kraton platform, these guards mount seamlessly above the chassis on both sides, creating a formidable barrier between your vehicle's delicate components and the harsh environment.
For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand durability and protection from their ready to run RC vehicles, the Side Guard Set represents an affordable yet effective investment in longevity. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher tackling rough terrain, or someone who wants to maximise the lifespan of their brushless RC monster truck, these guards work quietly in the background to shield your chassis from debris ingress that could otherwise compromise performance and require expensive repairs. The composite construction ensures they're both lightweight and resilient, absorbing impacts and deflecting obstacles without adding unnecessary weight to your setup.
ARRMA's commitment to quality engineering extends to every component, including these protective accessories. The Side Guard Set is the perfect companion piece for owners of the Kraton 4S V2 who understand that prevention is better than cure when it comes to protecting expensive RC components from environmental damage.
Key Features
- Specifically Designed for Extra-Long Wheelbase Chassis — These side guards are engineered exclusively for the extended wheelbase design of the Kraton platform, ensuring perfect fit and optimal protection coverage that wouldn't be achieved with generic guards from other manufacturers or models.
- High-Quality Composite Material Construction — Moulded from resilient composite materials, these guards combine lightweight properties with exceptional durability, resisting cracking, warping and degradation even after sustained exposure to harsh outdoor conditions that would compromise lesser plastics.
- Mounts Above Chassis on Vehicle Sides — The strategic positioning above the chassis protects the centre of your vehicle from whatever the terrain throws at it, with complete coverage of the critical area where dirt, stones and mud tend to accumulate and cause damage.
- Increased Protection from Dirt Ingress — By deflecting debris away from the chassis area, these guards significantly reduce the amount of dust and dirt that works its way into your vehicle's mechanical systems, preserving component longevity and maintaining smooth operation over extended play sessions.
- Complete Left and Right Pair Included — You receive both a left side guard and right side guard in a single purchase, providing symmetrical protection and a professional appearance whilst eliminating the need to source components separately.
- Easy Installation — These guards integrate seamlessly with the Kraton 4S V2 platform, mounting directly to the vehicle with no modifications required to your existing setup or electronic components.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Side Guard Set represents precision engineering in protective accessories for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Built from a resilient composite material, these guards deliver the optimal balance between strength and weight that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The composite construction is specifically chosen for its ability to absorb impacts and deflect abrasive materials without becoming brittle or developing stress cracks over time. The guards are designed with the extra-long wheelbase architecture of the Kraton 4X4 4S V2 platform in mind, meaning they integrate perfectly with the vehicle's geometry and chassis design. The protective barrier they create extends the operational life of your brushless RC monster truck by preventing dirt accumulation in critical areas, reducing wear on mechanical components and preserving the smooth operation of your vehicle's drive train and suspension systems. Whether you're running at high speed across rocky terrain or navigating through muddy obstacles, these guards work continuously to shield vulnerable components from environmental contamination. The resilient composite material withstands repeated impacts and abrasion whilst maintaining its structural integrity, making these guards a long-term investment in vehicle protection rather than a consumable replacement part.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Kraton models are these side guards compatible with? — The ARRMA Side Guard Set Z-ARA320643 is specifically designed for the Arrma 1/10 Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck RTR (C-ARA4408V2T3 and C-ARA4408V2T4 including the green variant). These model numbers ensure you're purchasing the exact guards engineered for your vehicle's extra-long wheelbase design and mounting points.
- Will these side guards fit other ARRMA vehicles? — No, these guards are specifically engineered for the Kraton 4S V2 platform and its unique extra-long wheelbase chassis. Using them on other ARRMA models or vehicles from different manufacturers could result in poor fit and compromised protection. Always verify compatibility by checking the vehicle's model number against the compatibility list before purchasing.
- How do these guards protect my RC monster truck? — The side guards mount above the chassis on both sides of the vehicle and create a barrier that deflects dirt, stones, mud and other debris away from the critical centre components of your Kraton. This dramatically reduces dirt ingress that can accumulate in mechanical systems, preserve electronic component cleanliness, and reduce wear on suspension and drive train parts, ultimately extending the operational lifespan of your brushless RC vehicle.
- Are these guards suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. If you've already purchased a ready to run Kraton 4S V2 RTR, adding these protective guards is a sensible decision at any experience level. Installation is straightforward with no modifications required, and the protective benefits apply equally whether you're a weekend basher just discovering RC cars or an experienced competitor. They're particularly recommended for beginners who want to protect their investment from damage caused by inevitable learning-curve crashes and debris accumulation.
- What material are the side guards made from? — These guards are moulded from high-quality composite material specifically chosen for its resilience and durability. Composite construction provides the ideal balance between lightweight design and impact resistance, allowing the guards to absorb impacts and deflect abrasive terrain without cracking, warping or becoming brittle over time, unlike cheaper plastic alternatives.
- How do I install the side guards? — The ARRMA Side Guard Set is designed for straightforward installation on the Kraton 4S V2. The guards mount directly above the chassis on the left and right sides of the vehicle with no modifications required to your existing setup. Detailed installation instructions are provided with the product, and the mounting points align perfectly with the extra-long wheelbase design specific to this platform.
- Will these guards affect the performance of my Kraton 4S V2? — No. The composite construction ensures minimal weight addition, so you won't experience any noticeable impact on speed, acceleration or handling characteristics. The protective benefits of reduced debris accumulation can actually improve long-term performance by keeping mechanical systems cleaner and components in better condition throughout extended use.
