Manufactured using aviation-grade 7075 aluminium alloy and precision CNC machining, this rear body mount delivers the kind of engineering excellence that VITAVON is recognised for throughout the RC community. The 1/5 scale Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S are powerful brushless RC buggies that demand equally robust components to handle their performance capabilities. This rear body mount is specifically engineered to provide secure, reliable mounting for your vehicle's body panel, ensuring it stays firmly in place during aggressive driving, high-speed runs, and challenging terrain navigation.
If you're searching for a replacement rear body mount for your Arrma Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S, or if you're upgrading from the standard plastic mounting solution to something more durable, the VITAVON CNC Alu 7075 represents an excellent investment in your RC car's longevity and performance. Available in your choice of silver or red finish, this component combines functional engineering with aesthetic appeal.
Key Features
- Aviation-Grade 7075 Aluminium Construction — This rear body mount is machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium alloy, which is one of the strongest aluminium grades available and commonly used in aerospace applications, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to bending or deformation under the stresses of high-performance RC driving.
- Precision CNC Machining — Every component is manufactured using Computer Numerical Control machining, which guarantees exact tolerances and perfect fitment to your Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S chassis, eliminating the fitment issues sometimes associated with injection-moulded plastic parts.
- Dual Colour Options — Choose between silver or red anodised finishes, allowing you to customise your RC car's appearance whilst maintaining the performance benefits of premium aluminium construction, so your 1/5 scale buggy looks as good as it performs.
- Direct OEM Compatibility — This rear body mount is specifically designed to fit the Arrma Kraton 8S (models ARA110002BT1 and ARA110002BT2) and the Arrma Outcast 8S (models ARA5810B and ARA5210B), guaranteeing proper fitment without modification or adjustment required.
- Enhanced Durability Over Plastic — By upgrading from standard plastic body mounts to this CNC aluminium solution, you significantly extend the lifespan of your body mounting system, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately saving money on maintenance and repairs.
- Professional-Grade Performance Component — This is the type of upgrade favoured by RC hobbyists who take their vehicles seriously, whether for competitive racing, high-speed running, or technical crawling and scale driving with precision control.
Technical Performance
The VITAVON CNC Alu 7075 Rear Body Mount is engineered to withstand the substantial forces generated by 8S LiPo-powered brushless RC buggies. The 7075 aluminium alloy offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard plastic mounting components, meaning you get significant durability improvements without adding unnecessary weight to your 1/5 scale vehicle. The precision CNC machining process ensures that every mount is produced to exacting tolerances, which is critical for maintaining proper body panel alignment and preventing rattles or movement during high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking events. The anodised surface finish provides corrosion resistance, protecting against oxidation from exposure to moisture, grass debris, and the general wear that comes from regular outdoor RC car use in the UK climate. When paired with the Arrma Kraton 8S's powerful brushless motor system and high-performance suspension geometry, this rear body mount helps ensure that your vehicle's body remains securely mounted and perfectly aligned, maintaining your RC car's aerodynamic profile and visual integrity throughout extended driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this rear body mount compatible with both the Kraton 8S and Outcast 8S? — Yes, this VITAVON rear body mount is specifically designed to fit both the Arrma Kraton 8S (ARA110002BT1 and ARA110002BT2) and the Arrma Outcast 8S (ARA5810B and ARA5210B) 1/5 scale electric RC buggies, providing a direct fit without any modification required.
- What advantages does aluminium construction offer over the standard plastic mount? — The 7075 aluminium alloy used in this CNC-machined component is significantly stronger and more rigid than plastic, meaning it resists bending and deformation far better, maintains its shape consistency through repeated impacts and stresses, and lasts considerably longer before requiring replacement, making it a superior choice for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Will this upgrade improve my RC car's handling and performance? — By providing a more rigid and reliable body mounting solution, this aluminium rear mount helps maintain precise body panel positioning, which contributes to consistent aerodynamics and handling characteristics, particularly noticeable during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering with your Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S.
- Is this suitable for beginner RC car owners? — This is an upgrade component rather than a beginner product, as it is designed for those already owning a Kraton 8S or Outcast 8S and seeking to improve durability and performance; beginners would start with a complete ready-to-run RC vehicle rather than individual upgrade parts.
- What colour options are available? — The VITAVON CNC Alu 7075 Rear Body Mount is available in both silver and red anodised finishes, allowing you to choose the option that best matches your vehicle's colour scheme and personal aesthetic preferences.
- How does CNC machining affect the quality of this component? — CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining ensures that every part is produced to exact specifications with precision tolerances, meaning each mount is identical and perfectly compatible with your Arrma buggy, eliminating the fitment variations sometimes found in injection-moulded plastic parts.
