Technical Performance
The ARRMA TYPHON GROM Body Z-ARA412005 is engineered as a direct replacement component for 1/14 scale off-road buggies, specifically the TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 brushed 4x4 variant. Constructed from injection-moulded polycarbonate, the bodyshell balances durability with weight efficiency, a critical consideration for maintaining the responsive handling and acceleration characteristics that define the TYPHON GROM platform. The pre-painted finish in striking blue with silver accents is applied at the factory using professional spray technology, delivering a uniform, high-quality colour coat that would be difficult to replicate in a home workshop without specialist equipment. The decal sheet is factory-applied during manufacture, adding authentic ARRMA branding and graphics without requiring the builder to perform time-consuming decal application. This body is specifically compatible with C-ARA2106T1 (Arrma 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 Buggy RTR - Blue/Silver) and C-ARA2106T2 (Arrma 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 Buggy RTR - Red/White) chassis platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment. The aggressive off-road buggy styling maximises aerodynamic stability at speed while maintaining the ground clearance necessary for technical terrain navigation. No window masks are pre-applied, allowing flexibility in finishing options for customisation-minded builders.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models does the TYPHON GROM Body Z-ARA412005 fit? — This body is specifically designed for and compatible with the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 brushed 4x4 buggy, available in the RTR (Ready to Run) configuration. It will fit both the Blue/Silver (C-ARA2106T1) and Red/White (C-ARA2106T2) chassis variants, making it a versatile replacement or upgrade option for TYPHON GROM owners across the UK.
- Is this a pre-painted body or do I need to paint it myself? — This is a fully pre-painted bodyshell in professional blue and silver colours, so no painting is required. The factory application ensures a uniform, high-quality finish that would be difficult to achieve through manual painting. If you prefer a different colour scheme, you can strip and repaint the polycarbonate, though this requires specialist polycarbonate-safe paints and spray equipment.
- What is polycarbonate and why is it used for RC car bodies? — Polycarbonate is a lightweight, impact-resistant plastic polymer that is ideal for RC car bodyshells because it absorbs energy from crashes and jumps without cracking or shattering like rigid plastics. It is flexible enough to flex on impact yet durable enough to withstand repeated bashing and rough terrain use, making it the industry standard for both ready-to-run and custom RC vehicles in the UK hobby market.
- Does the body include window masks? — Yes, window masks are provided with the body but are not pre-applied. This allows you to choose whether to paint your windows or leave them unpainted for a more transparent look. The masks make it easy to paint window frames if desired, protecting the main body colour during the painting process.
- What is the scale of this body? — This is a 1/14 scale body, meaning the finished assembled buggy will be approximately one-fourteenth the size of a full-size vehicle. The 1/14 TYPHON GROM is a compact off-road buggy perfect for backyard bashing, park runs and technical terrain navigation.
- Can I use this body on other ARRMA models? — No, this body is specifically engineered for the 1/14 TYPHON GROM platform and will not fit other ARRMA models such as the MOJAVE GROM or larger 1/10 scale buggies. Always verify compatibility with your specific chassis before ordering.
- Is the decal sheet pre-applied or supplied separately? — The decal sheet is factory-applied to the body during manufacture, so the graphics and ARRMA branding are already in place when you receive the shell. No additional decal work is required unless you wish to add custom graphics or personalisation.
