Overview
The ARRMA Front & Rear Body Post Set Z-ARA-1523 is an essential spare parts kit designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand quality replacement components for their ARRMA models. Whether you're running one of the ARRMA NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Trucks or simply maintaining your RC car collection, this comprehensive body post set ensures your vehicle remains in peak condition after crashes, collisions, or standard wear and tear. As a trusted RC car UK retailer, we understand that keeping your brushless RC truck in working order is crucial, and having genuine ARRMA replacement parts on hand is the smart choice for any RC hobbyist.
Body posts are critical structural components that hold your RC truck's chassis to its body shell, making them one of the first items to suffer damage when your vehicle impacts obstacles or performs hard landings. This replacement set provides everything you need to restore your ARRMA ready to run RC truck to like-new condition, featuring precision-engineered composite construction that matches the quality standards of the original equipment. The set includes all four body posts (front left, front right, rear left, and rear right) along with every fastener needed for secure installation, making it a complete, all-in-one solution for RC model repairs.
For UK RC enthusiasts who regularly bash their vehicles or compete at local tracks, having spare body posts is a practical investment that extends the lifespan of your model and keeps downtime to an absolute minimum. ARRMA is a recognised leader in the RC hobby industry, and their commitment to producing durable, high-performance replacement parts makes this body post set a worthwhile addition to your spare parts collection.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — The body posts are manufactured from durable composite material that resists impact damage far better than fragile plastic alternatives, providing increased crash resistance that keeps your RC truck running through demanding bashing sessions and competitive racing without frequent replacements.
- Precision Manufacturing — Each body post is engineered with precise tolerances to ensure a safe and secure mounting position in all conditions, guaranteeing that your body shell remains firmly attached to the chassis whether you're driving on tarmac, grass, or rough off-road terrain.
- Complete Fastener Kit — The set includes all required hardware: two M4x22mm button head screws, two M3 nylon locknuts, two M4 nylon locknuts, and six M3x12mm cap head screws, eliminating the need to source additional parts elsewhere and ensuring you have everything required for a complete installation.
- Direct Replacement Design — Engineered specifically for ARRMA models including the NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Truck, these body posts are direct replacements that fit perfectly without modification or adjustment, maintaining the exact geometry and clearances of your original setup.
- All-in-One Solution — This set includes all four body posts (front left, front right, rear left, and rear right) meaning you can completely overhaul all mounting points in a single purchase, rather than buying individual pieces and dealing with multiple transactions.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Front & Rear Body Post Set represents the pinnacle of replacement part engineering for high-performance RC vehicles. Manufactured using advanced composite materials that balance strength with weight efficiency, these body posts deliver the durability required for demanding RC applications including high-speed racing, stunt driving, and aggressive off-road bashing. The composite construction provides superior impact absorption compared to brittle plastic alternatives, reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failure during hard crashes while still maintaining rigid structural integrity during normal operation. For drivers of brushless RC trucks like the NOTORIOUS 6S V6, which produce substantial power and speed, having robust body posts is essential for maintaining safe vehicle geometry and preventing the body shell from shifting or separating during aggressive driving. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each post meets exact specifications, with consistent wall thickness and structural density throughout the component. The fastener assortment included in this kit—comprising M4x22mm button head screws, M3 and M4 nylon locknuts, and M3x12mm cap head screws—provides redundancy in mounting hardware, allowing you to select the appropriate fasteners for your specific installation requirements. Nylon locknuts are specifically chosen for their ability to resist vibration-induced loosening, a critical consideration on high-speed RC vehicles where constant suspension articulation and chassis flex can gradually work fasteners loose if standard steel nuts are used. Whether you're replacing damaged body posts after an accident or performing preventive maintenance to upgrade from worn original equipment, this set delivers the quality and completeness that discerning RC enthusiasts expect from an ARRMA factory replacement kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models are compatible with the Z-ARA-1523 body post set? — This body post set is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the ARRMA NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Truck, available in both black and blue variants. If you own either the model code C-ARA8611V6T1 or C-ARA8611V6T2, this set will fit perfectly without modification. For other ARRMA models, we recommend checking compatibility with the model number before ordering.
- Why do I need replacement body posts for my RC truck? — Body posts are structural components that anchor your chassis to the body shell, and they suffer damage during impacts, hard landings, and aggressive driving. Cracked, bent, or broken body posts can cause the body to shift during driving, affecting handling and potentially allowing the shell to separate during high-speed manoeuvres. Replacing damaged body posts restores your vehicle to proper geometry and ensures safe operation.
- Is this a difficult installation for beginners? — Replacing body posts is one of the most straightforward repairs you can perform on an RC truck. The process simply involves removing the old fasteners, sliding out the damaged posts, inserting the new posts into their mounting holes, and reinstalling the fasteners with the provided hardware. Most RC enthusiasts, including beginners, can complete this task in under ten minutes with just a basic wrench or socket set. Detailed assembly instructions are typically available from ARRMA, and online RC communities offer countless video guides showing the installation process.
- What tools do I need to install these body posts? — Installation requires only basic hand tools: a small wrench or hex key set suitable for the fastener sizes included (M3 and M4), and possibly a small adjustable wrench for tightening the locknuts. No power tools or specialised equipment is required, making this a simple maintenance task that can be completed in any workshop or even outdoors at the track.
- Are these body posts genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket alternatives? — This Z-ARA-1523 set comprises official ARRMA genuine replacement parts manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the original equipment, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance. Choosing genuine factory parts over cheaper aftermarket alternatives guarantees compatibility and durability.
- Can I use these body posts if I've upgraded my NOTORIOUS with different tyres or suspension components? — Yes, the body post mounting system on the NOTORIOUS 6S V6 is engineered to accommodate various suspension and tyre combinations commonly used in the RC community. These replacement body posts maintain the original geometry and will work correctly regardless of other upgrades you may have made to your vehicle.
