Key Features

• Tough Composite Material Construction — The body posts are manufactured from tough composite material that provides exceptional durability and hard-wearing performance, ensuring your body remains securely mounted even during aggressive driving and challenging conditions. Composite materials offer an excellent balance between lightweight design and structural strength, which is crucial for maintaining your RC car's handling characteristics and performance.
• Precision Manufactured Mounting Holes — Each body post features precision-engineered mounting holes that are manufactured to exact specifications, delivering added installation security and ensuring a perfect fit with your ARRMA chassis. This precision manufacturing eliminates the guesswork from installation and guarantees that your body will be properly aligned and securely fastened to your vehicle's frame.
• Complete Front and Rear Solution — This comprehensive body post set includes both front and rear mounting components, meaning you have everything required for a complete body mounting system without needing to source parts from multiple suppliers. This all-in-one approach saves you time and ensures component compatibility across your entire mounting system.
• Foam Pad Inclusion — The set includes foam pads for both front and rear body mounts, which provide vibration dampening and shock absorption between the hard plastic body shell and the rigid chassis frame. These foam pads help reduce vibration transmission, protect your body from impact damage, and contribute to improved handling by isolating the body mass from chassis movement.

Technical Performance

The ARRMA Body Post Set Z-ARA320728 represents a significant investment in the longevity and performance of your RC vehicle. Manufactured from tough composite material, the body posts offer superior durability compared to softer plastic alternatives, ensuring they will withstand repeated mounting and dismounting cycles without degradation. The precision manufacturing of the mounting holes is critical for RC car UK buyers who demand accuracy and consistency in their spare parts; imprecisely drilled holes can lead to misalignment, body rattle, and poor aerodynamic performance at high speeds. The inclusion of foam pads for both the front and rear body mounts demonstrates ARRMA's attention to engineering detail, as these pads serve multiple purposes: they dampen vibrations transmitted from the chassis to the body shell, they protect the body from impact damage that could occur during hard landings or collisions, and they help maintain structural integrity over thousands of driving cycles. The complete four-piece set (rear body mount, rear foam pad, front body mount, and front foam pad) ensures that you have a matching, compatible solution for your entire body mounting system, eliminating the risk of mixing components from different suppliers or generations of design.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a body post and why do I need a replacement body post set? — Body posts are the mounting components that connect your RC car's plastic body shell to the metal or composite chassis frame. They are subject to wear and stress during normal driving, particularly during hard crashes, aggressive cornering, or repeated body removal for maintenance. Over time, the mounting holes can strip, the posts themselves can crack or become damaged, or the foam pads can compress permanently. Having a replacement body post set ensures you can restore your RC vehicle to full performance and maintain proper body alignment, which is essential for handling, stability, and aerodynamic performance.
• Will the ARRMA Body Post Set Z-ARA320728 fit my ARRMA RC vehicle? — This genuine ARRMA body post set is specifically designed as a spare part for ARRMA vehicles. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team to confirm compatibility with your specific ARRMA model, as different model lines may use different mounting configurations. As an authorised ARRMA dealer, RC Model Shop can help you identify the correct parts for your specific vehicle.
• Why are foam pads included with the body mounts? — The foam pads serve several critical purposes in your RC car's performance. They act as vibration dampeners, reducing vibration transmission from the chassis to the body shell, which can improve handling and reduce noise. The pads also provide shock absorption, helping to protect your body shell from impact damage during hard landings or crashes. Additionally, the compressible nature of the foam pads allows for slight flex in the body mounting system, which can actually improve traction and handling in certain driving conditions by allowing the body mass to work independently from the chassis.
• Is this a genuine ARRMA product? — Yes, the ARRMA Body Post Set Z-ARA320728 is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare part produced by ARRMA. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you can be confident that you are receiving an authentic, genuine ARRMA component with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection. Counterfeit parts are unfortunately common in the RC hobby, so purchasing from authorised retailers like RC Model Shop guarantees you receive the real product with the quality standards you expect.
• How often will I need to replace my body posts? — The lifespan of body posts depends heavily on your driving style, the surfaces you drive on, and how frequently you remove and reinstall your body shell. Casual weekend bashers might only need replacements every few years, while competition racers who remove their bodies frequently for maintenance and tuning might need replacements more often. The tough composite material used in this ARRMA set is engineered to last longer than standard plastic alternatives, making it an excellent value for regular RC car UK enthusiasts.
• Can I use these body posts on different ARRMA models? — Body post designs can vary between different ARRMA model lines and generations. Before purchasing, verify that this set (Z-ARA320728) is compatible with your specific ARRMA model. Our experienced team at RC Model Shop can help you identify the correct body post set for your vehicle if you're uncertain about compatibility.
