Key Features
- High-quality Polycarbonate Construction — This bodyshell is manufactured from robust polycarbonate material, which is the industry standard for RC bodies because it offers excellent impact resistance, durability and flexibility, protecting your chassis during crashes whilst maintaining its shape and appearance through countless runs.
- Pre-Painted Red/Black Colour Scheme — The stunning red and black paint finish is factory-applied to showroom standard, eliminating the need for you to invest time and money in painting; the vibrant colours are designed to catch the eye and give your RC buggy a truly head-turning appearance that stands out from the crowd.
- Pre-Decaled with ARRMA Vinyl Stickers — The bodyshell arrives complete with authentic ARRMA vinyl stickers and decals already applied, adding professional styling and branding that enhance the visual impact of your RC vehicle without requiring any additional decal application skills or tools.
- Pre-Trimmed and Pre-Drilled Design — Every opening, window and mounting point has been expertly trimmed and drilled at the factory, which means you can install this body in minutes without reaching for a hobby knife, drill or measurement tools, delivering genuine fast and easy installation.
- Compatible with Multiple TYPHON GROM Variants — This bodyshell is engineered to fit a range of ARRMA TYPHON GROM models including the 223S BLX and MEGA 380 variants, providing versatility and compatibility across the TYPHON GROM platform for different budgets and performance preferences.
- 1/18 Scale Format — The 1/18 scale sizing makes this body lightweight and manageable whilst still providing a realistic and detailed appearance, making it ideal for RC enthusiasts who want genuine performance in a compact, easy-to-transport package.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA TYPHON GROM Body is engineered using quality polycarbonate material, which is the proven choice for RC bodyshells across the industry due to its combination of rigidity, impact resistance and longevity. At 1/18 scale, this is a compact off-road buggy platform that delivers genuine fun without consuming vast amounts of space or requiring extensive maintenance knowledge. The pre-painted finish is applied to exacting standards during manufacture, ensuring consistent colour coverage and professional appearance that looks every bit as good as custom-painted alternatives but arrives ready to install immediately. The body's polycarbonate construction means it can absorb impacts during enthusiastic bashing sessions whilst maintaining its structural integrity, and the colour finish resists fading and scuffing far better than cheaper alternatives. The pre-applied vinyl decals use authentic ARRMA graphics and branding, which are printed to last through extended use and exposure to sunlight. This bodyshell is designed as a direct replacement for the TYPHON GROM platform, making it compatible with the 223S BLX variant in Red, the 223S BLX variant in Silver, the 223S BLX variant in Blue, the MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 variant in Red/White, and the MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 variant in Blue/Silver, providing flexibility for different motor systems and performance levels. The engineering focus on pre-trimming and pre-drilling eliminates the most time-consuming aspects of body installation, allowing you to focus on the driving experience rather than workshop preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA TYPHON GROM Body suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is a direct replacement bodyshell, so if you already own a TYPHON GROM ready to run RC buggy or a TYPHON GROM platform kit, installation is straightforward. The pre-trimmed and pre-drilled design means beginners can install it without specialist tools. However, this is a body shell only and does not include the chassis, electronics or motor system, so you will need an existing TYPHON GROM platform to use it.
- What vehicles does this body fit? — This TYPHON GROM body is compatible with multiple ARRMA TYPHON GROM variants including the 223S BLX 4x4 buggy and the MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 buggy in both standard and RTR configurations. Check your specific model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Is the body pre-painted and ready to use? — Yes, this is a fully pre-painted bodyshell with a factory-applied red and black colour scheme and pre-applied ARRMA vinyl decals. There is no painting or decaling required; you simply trim any excess material if needed and install it directly onto your TYPHON GROM chassis.
- What material is this body made from? — The TYPHON GROM body is manufactured from polycarbonate, which is the industry-standard material for RC bodyshells because it offers excellent durability, flexibility, impact resistance and dimensional stability, making it ideal for both track racing and outdoor bashing.
- How long does installation take? — Because this body arrives pre-trimmed and pre-drilled, installation typically takes only 10-15 minutes for someone with basic RC experience. You simply need to position it on your chassis and secure it according to your specific TYPHON GROM variant's instructions.
- Why would I need a replacement body? — Replacement bodies are essential for RC bashers and racers because they allow you to transform the appearance of your vehicle, protect the underlying chassis, and replace a body that has become damaged, faded or simply tired-looking. Having multiple bodies on hand is a smart investment for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Will the decals survive rough use? — The ARRMA vinyl decals are professionally applied and designed to withstand extended use, UV exposure and outdoor elements. However, aggressive crashes or extended grinding against obstacles may eventually cause decal wear, which is why many enthusiasts keep multiple pre-decaled bodies in different colours.
