Technical Performance
The ARRMA TYPHON GROM Body (Z-ARA-1562) represents the pinnacle of 1/18 scale body design and engineering. Constructed from premium polycarbonate material, this bodyshell delivers the ideal balance between durability and weight, ensuring your RC buggy maintains responsive handling and excellent acceleration characteristics. The polycarbonate construction provides superior impact resistance compared to painted plastic alternatives, meaning your investment is protected even during aggressive driving sessions. The body's engineering has been optimised to work seamlessly with TYPHON GROM chassis platforms, ensuring aerodynamic efficiency and stability at speed. Whether you're running a brushless or brushed motor setup, the body's streamlined design minimises drag and maximises performance. The pre-painted finish is applied using professional-grade automotive paint processes, resulting in a surface that resists chipping and fading far better than amateur painting attempts. The factory-applied ARRMA vinyl decals are durable and long-lasting, maintaining their appearance through muddy, dusty and wet conditions typical of off-road RC car UK adventures. Installation is straightforward thanks to the pre-drilled mounting points and trimmed edges, making this suitable for builders of all skill levels from complete beginners to experienced competitors.
