Technical Performance
This painted decaled body set represents genuine ARRMA quality engineering designed specifically for 1/10 scale off-road monster truck performance. The polycarbonate material chosen for this bodyshell offers an excellent balance of weight, durability and impact resistance — critical factors when your RC truck is tackling rough terrain, jumping over obstacles or competing at high speeds. The pre-painted purple finish has been applied using professional techniques to ensure consistent colour coverage and a durable, glossy appearance that will maintain its shine through regular use. The factory-applied decals are precision-printed and sealed to the body surface, meaning they will remain vibrant and secure even during intense off-road sessions. For UK RC enthusiasts seeking a brushless RC monster truck upgrade or a replacement body for their existing GORGON, this set delivers the premium quality you expect from ARRMA. The bodyshell is compatible with multiple GORGON variants including the GORGON MT Ready-To-Assemble Kit, the GORGON MT RTR models, and the GORGON MEGA 550 2WD monster truck variants, making it a versatile choice for owners of different GORGON configurations. The 1/10 scale ensures that the body proportions are visually striking whilst remaining practical for transport and display, and the truck classification delivers the commanding road presence that monster truck fans demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA GORGON models is this body compatible with? — This painted decaled body set is compatible with the ARRMA GORGON MT Ready-To-Assemble Kit with Battery and Charger, the GORGON MT RTR with 8.4v Battery and USB Charger (Yellow version), the GORGON 2WD RTA Kit Brushed Monster Truck, the GORGON MEGA 550 2WD MT with Battery and Charger (Purple, Blue and Gun Metal versions), and the GORGON MT RTR models in Blue. If you own any of these GORGON variants, this body will fit perfectly.
- Do I need to paint this body? — No, the body arrives completely pre-painted in purple with factory-applied decals, so you can fit it straight to your chassis without any additional painting, sanding or decoration work. This makes it ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who want an instant aesthetic upgrade.
- What is the body made from? — The bodyshell is constructed from polycarbonate, a tough, flexible plastic material that provides excellent durability and impact resistance during off-road driving. Polycarbonate bodies are significantly more durable than painted shells and will flex rather than shatter if you hit obstacles at speed.
- Can I use this body with other RC truck brands? — This body set is specifically engineered for ARRMA GORGON 1/10 scale models. Using it with other brands or scales will result in poor fitment and may affect your vehicle's performance and appearance. Stick with GORGON-compatible vehicles for best results.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. If you already own a GORGON ready to run RC truck, swapping the body is a simple task that requires no technical expertise. The pre-painted finish means you avoid the complexity of painting, making this an excellent first customisation project for newcomers to the RC hobby.
- What if I want the same body in a different colour? — ARRMA offers the GORGON Painted Decaled Body Set in multiple colours, including Red and Gun Metal T4 variants, so you can build a collection of different-coloured bodies to swap depending on your mood or to represent different racing teams.
- Do window masks come with this body? — No, window masks are not included with this body set. The bodyshell comes ready to fit, but if you require window masks for painting or protection, you may need to purchase them separately.
