- Pre-Drilled for Fast Installation — The body comes pre-drilled with all necessary mounting holes already in place, enabling quick and simple installation onto your chassis frame without complex preparation or requiring custom drilling, getting you on the track in minutes.

Technical Performance
The MOJAVE GROM Body represents ARRMA's commitment to quality engineering and attention to detail in every component. Constructed from polycarbonate — the industry-standard material for RC bodyshells — this component offers the ideal balance of weight, strength and impact resistance required for serious RC truck driving. The precision injection moulding process ensures consistent wall thickness throughout, preventing weak points that could lead to cracking or failure during high-speed driving or crashes. The pre-painted finish utilises professional automotive-grade paint technology, resulting in a lustrous, durable coating that resists fading, chipping and UV damage far better than amateur paint jobs. The pre-decalled vinyl stickers are applied with precision at the factory, ensuring perfect alignment and durability that will outlast many driving seasons. With a 1/18 scale specification, this body is engineered to fit the MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX 4X4 DT (available in White or Teal variants with battery and charger, or Black without), as well as the MOJAVE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 small scale desert truck RTR platform (available in Red or Blue). The body's aerodynamic short course profile is optimised for stability and speed on high-grip surfaces, whilst its lightweight construction complements the efficient brushless or brushed motor systems found in compatible chassis variants. Every aspect of this bodyshell has been engineered and tested to deliver the performance and reliability that ARRMA customers expect from a genuine OEM component.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bodyshell compatible with my ARRMA MOJAVE GROM RC truck? — This Z-ARA-1566 body is specifically designed for 1/18 scale MOJAVE GROM platforms. It is compatible with the MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX 4X4 DT (White, Teal, or Black variants) and the MOJAVE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 small scale desert truck RTR in Red or Blue. If you own one of these models, this body will fit perfectly. We recommend checking your specific chassis model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Do I need to paint or trim this body myself? — No, this is one of the major advantages of purchasing a pre-finished body from ARRMA. The body arrives fully painted in a professional black and bronze finish, fully decalled with authentic ARRMA vinyl stickers, and pre-trimmed with all window and component openings already cut to specification. You simply unbox it, fit it to your compatible chassis using the pre-drilled mounting holes, and you're ready to drive. This saves considerable time compared to bare polycarbonate bodies that require painting, masking, decalling and trimming.
- What tools do I need to install this body? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC car tools. You'll need a small Phillips or flathead screwdriver to secure the body posts to your chassis frame using the pre-drilled mounting holes. Some users prefer using body clips or pins for quicker removal and installation. The pre-drilled design means no drilling, measuring or complex preparation is necessary.
- Will the paint scratch easily during driving and crashes? — The MOJAVE GROM body features professional automotive-grade paint that is significantly more durable and resistant to scratching than amateur paint applications. However, like all RC bodyshells, it will accumulate minor cosmetic wear during normal use. The black and bronze colour scheme actually shows wear less obviously than lighter colours, helping maintain a good appearance over extended use. For long-term protection, some users apply clear protective film to high-contact areas.
- How does the Black/Bronze colour scheme compare to other available MOJAVE GROM body colours? — ARRMA offers the MOJAVE GROM body in multiple striking colour combinations including Teal/Pink (ARA-1564) and White/Blue (ARA-1565). The Black/Bronze combination (ARA-1566) delivers a more aggressive, racing-focused aesthetic with excellent contrast and a professional appearance. The choice ultimately comes down to personal preference — each colour scheme is equally well-finished and durable.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is a bodyshell component rather than a complete ready to run RC truck, so it's not designed as a standalone beginner product. However, if you already own a compatible MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX or MEGA 380 chassis, replacing the body with this pre-painted version is extremely beginner-friendly thanks to the pre-trimmed, pre-drilled and pre-decalled design. Installation requires only basic tools and minimal mechanical knowledge, making it perfect for users of any experience level who want to customise their RC truck.
- Can I use this body on other ARRMA 1/18 scale short course trucks? — This body is engineered specifically for MOJAVE GROM chassis platforms and is not designed for other ARRMA 1/18 scale models. Using it on incompatible chassis may result in poor fitment, interference with components, or instability during driving. Always verify compatibility with your specific chassis model number before purchasing.
- How does polycarbonate compare to other body materials for RC trucks? — Polycarbonate is the industry-standard material for RC bodyshells because it offers the optimal balance of properties for this application. It is significantly more impact-resistant than resin or ABS plastic, making it less prone to cracking during crashes, whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively affect performance. Polycarbonate also provides excellent clarity when unpainted (useful for window applications) and accepts paint finishes beautifully, as demonstrated by the professional finish on this body.
