Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — This top deck is manufactured from high-quality composite material that provides excellent durability during extreme RC action, resisting impact and wear far better than weaker alternatives and ensuring your chassis remains structurally sound through countless bashing sessions.
- Strategic High-Stress Reinforcement — ARRMA engineers have added extra material in high-stress areas of the deck to increase overall durability and reduce the risk of failure in the zones that experience the most punishment during aggressive driving.
- Precision Manufactured Fit — Every component from ARRMA is precision manufactured to ensure a secure and reliable fit with your existing chassis, eliminating fitment problems and delivering the quality you expect from genuine OEM parts rather than third-party alternatives.
- 204mm Wheelbase Configuration — This specific 204mm wheelbase measurement ensures perfect compatibility with multiple ARRMA Mojave GROM variants, making it the correct choice for owners of these popular 1/16 scale RC trucks.
- Includes Mounting Hardware — The kit comes complete with 10 x M2.5x8mm cap head screws, so you have everything needed to fit the new deck to your chassis without needing to source fasteners separately.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Composite Top Deck 204mm is engineered as a direct replacement chassis component for 1/16 scale ARRMA RC models. Composite chassis materials offer an excellent balance between weight savings and structural rigidity, making them ideal for small-scale off-road vehicles that need to absorb impacts whilst maintaining precision handling characteristics. The 204mm wheelbase is a compact configuration that makes these RC trucks highly manoeuvrable and responsive, perfect for driving in tight spaces or aggressive terrain courses. The composite construction, combined with strategically reinforced high-stress areas, means this deck can withstand the demands of serious bashing and racing without becoming a consumable part that requires constant replacement. The inclusion of proper M2.5x8mm cap head screws ensures secure fastening and prevents the common problem of loose deck connections that can develop during hard driving. This is a genuine ARRMA component, meaning it meets all original specifications and integrates seamlessly with your existing Mojave GROM chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this composite top deck suitable for beginners or only experienced RC enthusiasts? — This is a spare part rather than a complete RC vehicle, so it is aimed at owners of compatible ARRMA Mojave GROM models who need to replace or upgrade their existing chassis deck. If you already own one of the compatible models listed above, this is a straightforward replacement that requires basic mechanical skills to fit the screws and bolt it to your chassis frame.
- What makes composite material better than plastic for a top deck? — Composite materials offer superior durability and impact resistance compared to standard plastics, which means they absorb shocks and impacts more effectively during aggressive driving. The reinforced high-stress areas on this deck add even more protection where the deck is most likely to experience impact, making it a more reliable choice than cheaper alternatives for serious bashers.
- How long does a top deck typically last before it needs replacing? — With proper care and normal use, a quality composite top deck can last for many months or even years of regular RC driving. However, if your deck becomes cracked, warped, or breaks during a hard impact, this replacement ensures you can quickly get back on the track or trail without waiting for new parts to arrive from abroad.
- Can I fit this myself, or do I need professional help? — Fitting this top deck is a straightforward task that most RC enthusiasts can complete in 10-15 minutes with basic tools. Simply remove the 10 old screws from your current deck, lift it off the chassis frame, position the new composite deck in place, and insert the new M2.5x8mm cap head screws provided in the kit. No special tools or expertise are required, making this an ideal DIY upgrade or repair.
- Is this part genuine ARRMA and not a clone or third-party alternative? — Yes, this is an official ARRMA composite top deck with genuine specifications, part number Z-ARA320816, and full compatibility with the models listed above. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment and reliability, whereas third-party alternatives can sometimes have dimensional variations that cause problems during installation.
