Overview
The ARRMA GORGON Painted Decaled Body Set in striking red is the perfect replacement or upgrade bodyshell for your 1/10 scale RC monster truck. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to refresh your GORGON's appearance or a UK-based RC hobbyist seeking a high-quality pre-painted body, this genuine ARRMA component delivers authentic styling and professional finish. The GORGON has earned its reputation as one of the most capable monster trucks in the RC car UK market, and this painted and decaled body set maintains that tradition with aggressive design and eye-catching red colouring that turns heads at the track or bash spot.
This is an official ARRMA product manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, offering the perfect balance between lightweight construction and impact resistance. The body arrives fully painted in a vibrant red finish with factory-applied decals, saving you time and effort compared to painting and decorating a clear bodyshell yourself. For anyone running a ready to run RC monster truck or building a custom GORGON setup, this body set represents excellent value and authentic ARRMA quality that you can trust.
Compatible with multiple GORGON variants including the RTR models with batteries and chargers, as well as the RTA kit versions, this painted body set opens up customisation possibilities for builders and bashers alike. The pre-applied decal sheet gives your RC truck an instantly professional appearance straight out of the box, making it an ideal choice for hobbyists who want stunning results without the complexity of custom body painting.
Key Features
- Pre-painted red finish — The body arrives completely painted in a bold red colour, eliminating the need for you to invest in paint, primers, and application equipment. This saves considerable time and ensures a factory-quality finish that looks professional and consistent.
- Decal sheet applied — Factory-applied decals are already in place, giving your RC truck an authentic ARRMA look with branded graphics and styling details that enhance the truck's aggressive appearance without requiring your own decal-fitting skills.
- Polycarbonate construction — The durable polycarbonate material provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, which is essential for maintaining the performance characteristics of your 1/10 scale RC monster truck and ensuring it can handle crashes and bashing without permanent damage.
- 1/10 scale truck body — Specifically designed for 1/10 scale GORGON models, this body fits perfectly with the chassis geometry and wheel arches, ensuring proper proportions and authentic appearance that matches the truck's engineering.
- Window masks included — The body comes with window masks applied, protecting the polycarbonate window areas and allowing for clean paint application if you ever choose to customise further, or ensuring factory-fresh appearance if you prefer to keep it as supplied.
- Wide compatibility — This body set works with numerous GORGON variants across the ARRMA range, including RTR models with and without battery/charger combinations, as well as RTA kit versions, making it a versatile option for different GORGON owners.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA GORGON Painted Decaled Body Set is manufactured from professional-grade polycarbonate, a material choice that reflects ARRMA's commitment to quality in the ready to run RC monster truck category. Polycarbonate offers superior durability compared to cheaper plastic alternatives, providing impact resistance that matters when you're bashing your RC truck through rough terrain or competitive racing environments. The pre-painted red finish is applied using ARRMA's factory processes, ensuring even coverage, proper colour match across the entire body, and paint adhesion that withstands the vibrations and stresses of RC operation. At 1/10 scale, this body maintains perfect proportions with the GORGON's chassis and suspension geometry, ensuring that aerodynamics and weight distribution remain optimised for the truck's performance characteristics. The applied decal sheet adds visual interest and authenticity without compromising the body's structural integrity or adding unnecessary weight. Whether you're running one of the brushless GORGON MEGA 550 variants, the brushed RTR models, or assembling a custom build, this body shell provides the finishing touch that transforms your RC truck from basic to show-ready, whilst the polycarbonate material ensures it can take the punishment that comes with real-world RC bashing and racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this ARRMA GORGON body compatible with all GORGON models? — This body set is compatible with multiple GORGON variants including the C-ARA3230T1 blue RTR model, C-ARA3230ST2 red RTR with 8.4v battery and charger, C-ARA3230ST3 MEGA 550 gun metal variant, C-ARA3230ST5 MEGA 550 blue model, C-ARA3230SKT1 ready-to-assemble kit, C-ARA3230ST1 yellow RTR, C-ARA3230SKT2 clear RTA kit, and C-ARA3230ST4 MEGA 550 purple version. However, it's always recommended to verify compatibility with your specific GORGON chassis before purchasing.
- Does this body come ready to use? — Yes, the ARRMA GORGON body set arrives completely painted in red and with decals already applied. Unlike clear bodyshells, you don't need to paint, prime, or apply decals yourself. Simply fit it to your GORGON chassis and you're ready to bash or race.
- What material is this bodyshell made from? — The bodyshell is manufactured from polycarbonate, which is a durable thermoplastic material favoured in the RC industry for its excellent impact resistance and lightweight properties. This material can handle crashes and rough terrain without cracking easily, making it ideal for both recreational bashing and competitive use.
- Can I customize this body further? — Absolutely. The polycarbonate construction means you can drill holes for additional decals, paint over the existing finish with RC body paints if you want to change the colour scheme, or add custom graphics and designs. The window masks are already in place to help protect the windows if you choose to repaint.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this body set is perfect for beginners because it arrives ready to fit without any painting or finishing work required. If you already own a GORGON chassis or are purchasing one separately, simply mount this body and you immediately have a finished-looking RC truck. This removes the technical challenge of body painting and decal application that can deter new hobbyists.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1/10 scale body, meaning the finished truck will be approximately one-tenth the size of a real full-size monster truck. At this scale, the GORGON remains small enough to bash in parks and gardens whilst being large enough to tackle rough terrain and perform impressive jumps.
