Technical Performance
This body mount mechanism set represents ARRMA's commitment to providing comprehensive spare parts support for their RC vehicle range. The engineering behind these components focuses on precision fitment and durability during the demands of off-road RC driving. The fasteners included — specifically the M2.5x6mm and M3x10 cap head screws — are selected for their holding strength and resistance to corrosion, important considerations for RC vehicles that may encounter mud, water, and challenging terrain. The body lock springs are engineered to provide consistent resistance and smooth operation through thousands of lock/unlock cycles. The body lock wires, being a component that experiences repeated stress and movement, are manufactured from materials designed to resist fatigue and maintain their original tension characteristics over extended use. The complete integration of front and rear body lock buttons, bases, and surrounds ensures that your vehicle's body can be quickly and securely attached and removed for maintenance access, a critical feature for anyone who regularly services their RC car UK equipment. The precision of these components means they integrate seamlessly with ARRMA's chassis design, providing the exact fit and function that original equipment delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models does the ARRMA Body Mount Mechanism Set Z-ARA-1516 fit? — This body mount set is specifically designed for ARRMA KRATON 6S models, including both the EXB and BLX variants. It is compatible with the 1/8 scale KRATON 6S monster trucks available in black, orange, green, pink, and blue colour options. Always verify your specific model code before ordering to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
- Is this a complete replacement kit? — Yes, this set contains all the components necessary to service or completely replace the body mount mechanism on one ARRMA vehicle. It includes fasteners, springs, wires, buttons, bases, and surrounds for both front and rear body locking points, meaning you won't need to source additional parts from multiple suppliers.
- What components are included for the body lock system? — The set includes everything needed for a complete body lock assembly: front and rear body lock buttons, bases, and surrounds; body lock springs and wires; body lock screws; body lock axle pins; and precision cap head fasteners in two sizes. This comprehensive approach ensures all wear items and fasteners can be replaced during a single maintenance session.
- How often should I service my body mount system? — The frequency of servicing depends on how intensively you use your RC vehicle. Weekend bashers might service their body mount system once or twice per season, whilst competitive racers or those who drive frequently in muddy or wet conditions may benefit from more regular maintenance. If you notice any stiffness, resistance, or wear in your body lock buttons or springs, it's time to replace these components, and this complete set makes the job straightforward.
- Why would I need to replace these parts? — The body mount mechanism experiences constant stress during driving, with the springs and wires being particularly subject to fatigue. Fasteners can become corroded or stripped with repeated assembly and disassembly. By replacing these components periodically, you maintain smooth operation of your body release system and prevent the frustration of stuck or difficult body locking, which can impact your maintenance workflow and driving enjoyment.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This spare parts set is perfect for RC enthusiasts at any skill level. The body mount mechanism is relatively straightforward to service, and having a complete kit with all necessary components means beginners won't need to worry about identifying or sourcing individual parts. The process of replacing body mount components is an excellent introduction to basic RC vehicle maintenance.
- Can I use this set with other ARRMA models? — Whilst this set is specifically designed for ARRMA KRATON 6S models, some components may be compatible with other ARRMA vehicles that use similar body locking systems. However, we recommend checking with our RC team or consulting your vehicle's manual before ordering, as using incorrect components could affect fit and function. It's always best to use parts specifically listed as compatible with your model.
