- Decal Sheet Included — The body comes complete with a decal sheet that adds authentic ARRMA branding and visual detail. These decals enhance the professional appearance of your vehicle and are carefully designed to match the black and blue paint scheme.

- Compatible with KRATON 4X4 4S V2 BLX Models — This body is specifically engineered to work with the C-ARA4408V2T4 and C-ARA4408V2T3 variants of the KRATON 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck RTR, ensuring seamless installation and perfect fitment without modification.
Technical Performance
The KRATON 4X4 4S BLX is ARRMA's flagship 4-wheel-drive monster truck platform, and this body is engineered to match its performance capabilities. Constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, the bodyshell offers the perfect balance between lightweight design and durability. The material flexes on impact to absorb shock without permanent deformation, making it ideal for bashing over rocks, jumps, and rough terrain. The black and blue colour scheme isn't just aesthetically striking – the darker colours also help mask dirt and dust that accumulates during driving, keeping your vehicle looking cleaner for longer between washes. The pre-painted finish is applied using ARRMA's professional automotive-grade processes, ensuring superior adhesion and resistance to UV fading. The included decal sheet adds visual authenticity and can be easily applied following ARRMA's application guidelines. This body is designed to work seamlessly with the brushless drivetrain and 4S LiPo battery system found in the KRATON 4X4 4S V2 BLX models, providing optimal weight distribution and maintaining the vehicle's centre of gravity for balanced handling whether you're driving on-road or off-road.
