Key Features
- Pre-Painted Red and Black Scheme — The body arrives fully painted in an aggressive red and black colour combination, eliminating the need for you to paint it yourself and saving you time whilst guaranteeing a professional finish that meets ARRMA's exacting standards.
- High-Quality Polycarbonate Material — Constructed from strong and flexible polycarbonate, this body shell delivers the perfect balance between durability and impact resistance, meaning it can absorb impacts from crashes and rough terrain without shattering or becoming brittle over time.
- Pre-Decalled for Realism and Detail — The shell comes decorated with high-quality factory decals that add authentic detail and visual character to your RC 4WD, creating a truly finished appearance straight from the box without requiring any additional decoration work.
- Aggressive Aerodynamic Styling — Designed with performance in mind, the body features advanced aerodynamic contours that don't just look aggressive—they actually help your RC monster truck maintain stability at high speeds and during dynamic cornering.
- Pre-Trimmed for Fast Installation — All windows and body line cuts are already completed, meaning you can fit this shell to your Kraton 4x4 in minutes rather than spending hours with a craft knife, getting you back to driving faster.
- Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes — The body includes factory-drilled holes positioned precisely for mounting to your chassis, ensuring perfect fitment every time and eliminating guesswork or the risk of drilling in the wrong location.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Kraton 4x4 4S BLX platform has established itself as one of the most capable 1/10 scale brushless RC vehicles in the electric off-road market. This pre-painted bodyshell is engineered specifically for the Kraton 4x4 chassis, meaning it drops directly onto your existing running gear without modification or compatibility concerns. The polycarbonate material used throughout provides the ideal properties for RC bodyshell construction—it's rigid enough to maintain aerodynamic shape at speed, yet flexible enough to absorb impacts without permanent deformation or cracking. The pre-painted finish is applied using ARRMA's proven process, delivering colour fastness and durability that holds up to UV exposure, dirt, and repeated washing. The aggressive body lines aren't merely cosmetic; they're engineered to reduce lift at high speeds, improving stability and control whether you're racing on a track or bashing through outdoor terrain. The inclusion of factory decals means the visual detailing is applied to exacting standards, creating depth and authenticity that hand-applied decals often struggle to match. Whether your Kraton 4x4 is powered by a brushless motor with 3S, 4S, or 6S LiPo batteries, this shell accommodates all standard Kraton configurations without issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this ARRMA Kraton bodyshell compatible with my current Kraton 4x4 setup? — Yes, this pre-painted bodyshell is designed specifically for the Kraton 4x4 4S BLX platform. It will fit directly onto your existing chassis with no modifications required, provided you're running a standard Kraton 4x4 model. Simply remove your old body, transfer the body mounts to this new shell, and you're ready to drive.
- Do I need to paint this body myself? — No, this is a pre-painted bodyshell, which means it arrives fully finished in the red and black colour scheme. It's ready to fit and drive straight from the box—no painting, no spray equipment, and no waiting for paint to cure.
- Will the decals hold up during use? — ARRMA uses high-quality factory decals applied during manufacturing, which are significantly more durable than most aftermarket decals. They'll withstand normal driving, dirt exposure, and washing, though they may eventually show wear with intense use or multiple impacts in the same area.
- What is the difference between this pre-painted body and a clear body with decals? — Pre-painted bodies like this one come with the colour already applied and decals factory-installed, offering a finished, professional appearance out of the box. Clear bodies require you to apply your own decals and potentially paint the interior or trim areas. For convenience and consistency, pre-painted is the superior choice.
- Can I use this body on a different ARRMA model? — No, each ARRMA body is engineered specifically for its designated chassis. Attempting to fit this Kraton 4x4 body to a different model (such as a Senton, Granite, or Vorteks) will result in poor fit and potential damage. Always match the body to your specific chassis model.
- Is pre-painting and decalling difficult to do myself? — Painting and decalling an RC bodyshell requires specialised equipment (spray gun or airbrush), proper ventilation, paint suitable for polycarbonate, and significant skill to achieve a professional result. This pre-painted option eliminates all that work and delivers superior results compared to DIY painting in most cases.
- Does this body work with all Kraton 4x4 battery options? — Yes, this body shell is compatible with all standard Kraton 4x4 configurations, whether you're running 3S, 4S, or 6S LiPo batteries. The body doesn't interact with the battery setup—it purely replaces the cosmetic shell.
