If you're browsing ready to run RC models or looking for quality RC spare parts online in the UK, you'll appreciate the engineering quality that ARRMA brings to every component. The roll cage system adds structural protection to the body whilst the integrated clipless body installation system allows for quick and simple removal without fiddly traditional body clips.

The set combines aesthetic appeal with functional protection, making it ideal whether you're replacing damaged components or simply upgrading your GROM's appearance and resilience during intense outdoor bashing sessions.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — The entire roll cage set is constructed from high-quality composite material that provides long-lasting durability in all conditions, whether you're bashing in dusty desert environments, muddy terrain, or concrete courses across the UK. This material resists impacts and weathering whilst remaining lightweight enough not to affect your RC truck's performance.
- Protective Design — The roll cage structure adds genuine protection to the body of your RC truck during crashes and rollovers, which is essential when operating small-scale vehicles on rough terrain. This protective function extends the lifespan of your body shell and reduces the likelihood of cracks or damage during intensive use.
- Precision Moulded Purple Composite — Every component is precision moulded in distinctive purple composite material for awesome looks that set your RC model apart from standard variants. The consistent colouring and finish quality reflect ARRMA's manufacturing excellence and create a cohesive, professional appearance when assembled.
- Clipless Body Installation System — The set includes body release springs and purple body lock buttons that work together to allow simple, tool-free body installation and removal. This means you can access your RC truck's internal components without struggling with traditional body clips, making maintenance and upgrades significantly more convenient.
- Complete Hardware Package — All necessary fastening components are included to ensure you can complete installation without hunting for additional screws or springs, reducing frustration and getting your truck back in action faster.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — This roll cage set is engineered to fit multiple ARRMA GROM variants, including the MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX in multiple colours and the MOJAVE GROM MEGA 380 brushed model, giving you flexibility across different configurations.
Technical Performance
This body roll cage set represents ARRMA's commitment to quality engineering and material science. The composite construction chosen for this component strikes an optimal balance between protection and weight, ensuring that adding the roll cage doesn't negatively impact your RC truck's performance characteristics. The structural design distributes impact forces effectively during crashes, protecting the underlying body shell from damage. Each component is precision moulded to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment to your GROM chassis. The purple composite material has been selected for both aesthetic appeal and durability, maintaining its colour and integrity even after extended exposure to sunlight and outdoor elements across the UK. The body lock system uses engineered springs and buttons that provide secure retention without requiring external clips, eliminating a common failure point in RC body retention systems. The overall engineering reflects ARRMA's desert racing heritage, where reliability and protection are paramount considerations. Installation is straightforward, with the included M2.5 fasteners (supplied in three head styles: cap head, flat head, and button head) providing multiple options for secure attachment depending on your specific mounting preferences and visibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this Desert Truck Body Roll Cage Set compatible with my ARRMA GROM model? — Yes, this set is engineered for compatibility with several ARRMA GROM variants. Confirmed compatible models include the ARRMA 1/16 MOJAVE GROM 223S BLX 4X4 DT (available in Teal, Black, and White variants), the ARRMA MOJAVE GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 (in Blue and Red), and the ARRMA 1/16 MOJAVE GROM 4x4 RTA Race Kit. If you're unsure whether your specific GROM variant will work with this set, contact our RC experts at RC Model Shop for confirmation.
- What makes this roll cage better than the standard body clips on my RC truck? — The integrated clipless body lock system using springs and buttons offers several advantages over traditional body clips. The system allows one-handed body removal, provides more secure retention without the risk of losing small clips, and creates a cleaner aesthetic appearance without visible clip hardware. The roll cage also provides structural protection that standard clips cannot offer.
- Will adding this roll cage affect my RC truck's performance? — No, the lightweight composite construction ensures that performance is unaffected whilst adding protective benefits. The material selection represents an optimal balance between protection and minimal weight addition, so your GROM's acceleration, handling, and top speed remain unchanged.
- Can I paint or customise the purple body roll cage components? — The composite material accepts standard RC hobby paints and coatings if you wish to customise the colour. However, the precision moulded purple finish is designed to be durable and fade-resistant, so many users prefer to keep the original colour for its reliability and appearance.
- Is professional installation required to fit this body roll cage set? — No, installation is straightforward and suitable for hobbyists of all experience levels. The roll cage components are precision engineered to fit perfectly, and the included screws and springs make assembly simple without requiring specialist tools or technical knowledge. Most users can complete installation in under 15 minutes.
- What is the difference between this roll cage and other ARRMA body protection systems? — This specific set is designed specifically for the GROM 1/16 scale range, offering components scaled appropriately for small-scale trucks. It combines both protective roll cage structure with integrated clipless body retention, making it a complete body management system rather than just a protective cage.
