Key Features
- Strong and Flexible Polycarbonate Material — The body is constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for its combination of strength and flexibility. This means the body can absorb impacts and vibrations without cracking, ensuring your investment remains protected during crashes and hard landings that are inevitable in RC stunt driving and competitive RC truck usage.
- Aggressive Styling with Advanced Aerodynamic Design — ARRMA has engineered an aggressive front grille and sculpted body lines that do more than look fantastic; they have been developed to improve aerodynamic performance at high speeds. This means your brushless RC truck will maintain better stability during rapid acceleration and deceleration, translating to faster lap times and more confident handling characteristics.
- Pre-Painted Finish in Striking Blue — Rather than receiving a clear shell that requires painting, this body arrives in a stunning blue colour scheme that is ready to use immediately. The pre-painted trim scheme is factory-applied to exacting standards, delivering a professional finish that would take considerable time and skill to replicate manually. This is particularly valuable for UK RC enthusiasts who want instant results without the investment in painting equipment and expertise.
- High-Quality Decals for Added Detail and Realism — The body is decorated with professional-grade decals that add visual depth and authenticity to your OUTCAST 4X4 4S BLX. These are not basic stickers but precision-applied graphics that enhance the overall aesthetic whilst providing genuine branding and styling cues that identify your truck as a premium ARRMA model.
- Pre-Trimmed for Fast and Easy Fit — The body arrives pre-trimmed around all necessary mounting points, windows, and body post areas. This means you eliminate the tedious and error-prone process of measuring, marking, and cutting your own mounting holes. Simply install the body posts and clips, and your shell is ready for deployment in minutes, not hours.
- Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes for Hassle-Free Installation — Every mounting point comes factory-drilled and precisely positioned to match the OUTCAST 4X4 4S chassis specification. This eliminates guesswork and ensures a perfect fit first time, whether you are a beginner installing your first replacement body or an experienced RC competitor swapping shells between races.
Technical Performance
The OUTCAST 4X4 4S BLX is built around ARRMA's proven 1/10 scale platform, delivering the performance characteristics demanded by serious RC truck enthusiasts. The polycarbonate construction provides an optimal balance of weight reduction and structural integrity, critical factors in a vehicle powered by brushless motors and high-capacity LiPo batteries. The pre-painted blue finish is applied using automotive-grade techniques that ensure colour fastness and durability under UV exposure during outdoor track and bash sessions. The aerodynamic design of the body profile has been developed through ARRMA's extensive racing programme, ensuring that at high speeds the airflow is optimised for stability rather than generating lift or unwanted turbulence. The pre-trimmed bodyshell eliminates manufacturing tolerance issues that can arise from improper home trimming, guaranteeing consistent fitment across the entire compatible vehicle range. For UK RC truck enthusiasts running brushless powertrains with 4S LiPo battery configurations, this body shell is engineered to complement the performance characteristics of the OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX platform, which utilises modern brushless drivetrain technology for reliable, predictable high-speed performance and excellent durability under demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this OUTCAST body compatible with my RC truck? — This pre-painted blue bodyshell is specifically engineered for the Arrma 1/10 OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck RTR in Red and the Arrma 1/10 OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck RTR in Gunmetal. If you own either of these brushless RC truck models, this body will fit perfectly thanks to the pre-drilled mounting holes and pre-trimmed construction that matches the original specification precisely.
- What material is this body shell made from? — The OUTCAST body is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, a thermoplastic polymer specifically chosen for RC applications because it combines excellent impact resistance with flexibility. Polycarbonate bodies are standard across the RC truck industry, including ready to run RC models, because they provide superior durability compared to resin or carbon fibre alternatives, particularly important for stunt driving and rough bashing where impacts are inevitable.
- Do I need to trim or modify the body? — No, this body arrives completely pre-trimmed with all mounting holes, window apertures, and post locations already finished. This is one of the primary advantages of purchasing a pre-painted body shell rather than trimming a clear shell yourself. The factory trimming eliminates human error and ensures a perfect fit that matches factory specifications, making installation a matter of minutes rather than hours.
- Is the blue finish durable? — Yes, ARRMA uses automotive-grade painting techniques to apply the pre-painted finish, meaning the blue colour will resist UV fading during outdoor use and maintain its appearance through numerous racing or bashing sessions. The polycarbonate material underneath provides additional durability, and the combination of quality materials and professional application ensures your investment maintains its visual appeal for extended periods.
- What accessories do I need to install this body? — You will need body clips or retainers to secure the shell to your chassis. ARRMA Body Clip Retainers are available separately in black and are specifically designed to work with ARRMA 1/10 scale bodies. If your chassis does not have body posts installed, you may also need to add these, though most OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX RTR models come with posts pre-installed.
- Can I use this body on different OUTCAST models? — This specific bodyshell is engineered for the OUTCAST 4X4 4S V2 BLX platform. Whilst the OUTCAST family includes multiple versions, always verify chassis compatibility by checking the specific model number of your truck. The pre-drilled holes and pre-trimmed dimensions are matched to the 4S BLX specification, ensuring optimal fitment on that platform.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC hobby? — Absolutely. One of the key advantages of purchasing a pre-painted, pre-trimmed body is that installation requires minimal expertise. Even RC newcomers can install this body shell in minutes without specialised tools, making it an excellent choice for anyone upgrading from a basic ready to run RC truck or stepping into their first ARRMA brushless vehicle. The straightforward installation process builds confidence and allows beginners to focus on learning driving skills rather than struggling with body preparation.
- What is the difference between this pre-painted body and a clear shell? — Pre-painted bodies like this OUTCAST shell arrive in finished colour (blue) with decals already applied, ready to install immediately. Clear bodies require you to paint them yourself, which demands painting equipment, expertise, and considerable time investment. For UK RC enthusiasts who want immediate results without the complexity of spray painting and decal application, a pre-painted body delivers tremendous value and convenience. The pre-painted option is ideal for those who lack painting facilities, equipment, or experience.
