Overview
The ARRMA GORGON Painted Decaled Body Set in Fluorescent Yellow (Z-ARA402349) is a premium replacement bodyshell designed for the ARRMA GORGON 2WD monster truck platform. This stunning fluorescent yellow painted body brings eye-catching visibility and aggressive styling to your RC car, making it an ideal choice for hobbyists looking to refresh their vehicle's appearance or create a distinctive look at the track or bash spot. Whether you're new to the world of ready to run RC trucks or you're an experienced basher seeking a bold colour option, this painted and decaled body set delivers professional-grade aesthetics and authentic GORGON styling that's instantly recognisable on any terrain.
ARRMA is renowned for producing high-quality RC vehicles and components, and this body set reflects that commitment to excellence. The painted bodyshell arrives fully finished with decals applied, saving you time and effort compared to clear bodies that require painting and decaling at home. The fluorescent yellow finish ensures your RC monster truck stands out visually during daytime running sessions, track events, or casual weekend bashing. This is the perfect upgrade for GORGON owners who want to maintain their machine's performance whilst dramatically changing its visual identity, or for those building a complete GORGON MT setup and wanting a colour option that truly pops.
Compatible with multiple GORGON variants including the RTR (Ready to Run) models and RTA (Ready to Assemble) kits, this body set represents excellent value for money in the UK RC hobby market. The combination of authentic ARRMA branding, professional paint application, and pre-applied decal graphics means you can have your truck running and looking race-ready straight out of the box with minimal preparation required.
Key Features
- Fluorescent Yellow Painted Finish — The vibrant fluorescent yellow colour provides outstanding visibility during daylight running sessions and makes your RC monster truck instantly recognisable at the track or bash spot, whilst the professional paint application ensures a durable and uniform finish that won't chip or fade easily with regular use.

- Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which is the industry standard for RC car bodies because it offers excellent impact resistance, flexibility to absorb crashes without shattering, and lightweight properties that contribute to optimal vehicle performance and handling characteristics.
- 1/10 Scale Design — Engineered specifically for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, this body maintains perfect proportions and fitment with the GORGON monster truck chassis, ensuring authentic scale appearance and proper aerodynamics for high-speed running.
- Monster Truck Styling — The GORGON body design features aggressive, true-to-scale monster truck proportions with a high stance and wide stance that delivers genuine visual presence and authentic character that appeals to RC enthusiasts who appreciate realistic truck styling.
- Multiple Platform Compatibility — This body set is compatible with a range of GORGON variants including the Ready-To-Assemble Kit, standard RTR models with and without battery/charger bundles, and the GORGON MEGA 550 variants, providing flexibility if you're expanding your collection or switching between different GORGON platforms.
- Genuine ARRMA Product — As an official ARRMA component, this body set is engineered to exacting standards and works seamlessly with genuine GORGON chassis and running gear, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's design.
Technical Performance
The GORGON Painted Decaled Body Set is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for ARRMA's popular 1/10 scale GORGON 2WD monster truck platform. The polycarbonate construction offers the ideal balance between durability and weight savings, crucial factors in RC vehicle performance. Polycarbonate bodies are recognised across the hobby for their superior impact resistance compared to other materials; when your truck crashes at speed, the body flexes and absorbs the impact rather than cracking or shattering, meaning your investment remains intact for years of bashing and racing. The material is also thin enough to maintain optimal weight distribution, which directly influences acceleration, top speed, and handling characteristics across different terrain types. The fluorescent yellow finish has been applied using professional paint methods that ensure colour consistency across the entire body surface, with superior adhesion that resists fading from UV exposure and wear from dirt and debris impact during outdoor running. The pre-applied decals have been factory-installed with precision, featuring the authentic ARRMA GORGON branding and styling graphics that identify your vehicle instantly and contribute to the professional aesthetic. This body set fits monster truck platforms with standard mounting points, integrating seamlessly with the GORGON's suspension geometry and chassis design to maintain the vehicle's centre of gravity and handling balance. The dimensions and proportions have been carefully engineered to accommodate the GORGON's wheelbase and track width, ensuring the body hangs properly on the chassis without interference with suspension movement, steering response, or drivetrain components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA GORGON Painted Decaled Body Set suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. This body set is perfect for beginners because it arrives fully painted and with decals already applied, meaning you don't need any painting or decal application skills. You simply fit it to your existing GORGON chassis using the standard body mounting points. If you're building a complete GORGON from scratch, the RTA (Ready to Assemble) kits are beginner-friendly and come with comprehensive instructions.
- Which GORGON models is this body compatible with? — This body set is compatible with a wide range of GORGON platforms including the GORGON MT Ready-To-Assemble Kit with Battery and Charger, the standard GORGON MT RTR models (with and without battery/charger bundles), the GORGON 2WD RTA Kit, and the GORGON MEGA 550 variants. Check the model numbers on your current setup or the specific kit you're planning to purchase to confirm compatibility, as the GORGON family includes several different power configurations and RTR/RTA options.
- What does the fluorescent yellow colour look like in different lighting conditions? — Fluorescent yellow is specifically chosen by hobbyists for its exceptional visibility properties. In daylight conditions, the colour appears bright and vibrant with a distinctive glow that makes your RC truck instantly noticeable from a distance, which is invaluable when running at tracks or outdoor bash spots. This high visibility factor is why fluorescent colours are popular in the RC hobby — your vehicle is easy to track visually even at higher speeds or in crowded environments. In indoor track environments with artificial lighting, the colour maintains strong visual presence, though the fluorescent properties are most pronounced in natural daylight.
- Do I need window masks for this body? — Window masks are not included with this particular body set (as noted in the specification), but they are optional and primarily serve two purposes: they protect the windows during painting if you choose to customise the body further, or they provide a finished look if you prefer tinted windows. Since this body arrives fully painted and decaled, you can use it immediately without window masks, though some enthusiasts add them later for customisation or aesthetic reasons.
- Can I use this body on other RC trucks besides the GORGON? — This body is specifically engineered for the GORGON chassis platform and its mounting geometry. Whilst polycarbonate bodies can sometimes be adapted to similar chassis with careful modification, we recommend using it only with compatible GORGON models to ensure proper fitment, correct body positioning relative to the chassis, and maintained performance characteristics. Using it with incompatible platforms could result in poor fitment, aerodynamic issues, or suspension interference.
- How durable is the polycarbonate material? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials used in RC car bodies and is the industry standard for high-performance vehicles. It's significantly more impact-resistant than lexan or other alternatives, meaning it can withstand repeated crashes and contact with obstacles without cracking or shattering. Over time and with very heavy use, you may develop minor stress marks or scuffs, but the body will maintain its structural integrity for years. The painted finish is equally durable when applied using professional methods, as ARRMA does, providing excellent resistance to chips and fading.
- What is the difference between this painted body and the GORGON Clear Body with Decals? — The primary difference is that this Painted Decaled Body Set arrives with a fluorescent yellow paint finish already applied, meaning you can use it immediately without any painting work. The GORGON Clear Body with Decals (model ARA402352) arrives as a transparent body shell with decals provided separately, requiring you to paint the body yourself if you want colour (or leaving it clear), and then apply the decals. The painted version saves time and delivers a consistent professional finish, whilst the clear body option gives you complete creative freedom to paint custom colours or designs if desired.
