Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material that provides increased impact resistance compared to standard plastics, meaning your investment will withstand the occasional collision, high-speed bash, and the general wear and tear that comes with regular RC truck use. This material choice directly translates to longer body lifespan and better value for money.
- Clear Finish for Custom Painting — Unlike pre-painted bodies, this clear polycarbonate shell is designed as a blank canvas for your creative vision, allowing you to apply custom paint schemes, team colours, or intricate graphics that perfectly match your driving style and personality. The transparency also means the underlying mechanical components create interesting visual depth.
- NOTORIOUS Vinyl Decal Sheet Included — The package includes a professionally-designed vinyl decal sheet featuring authentic NOTORIOUS branding and graphics, instantly adding factory-quality detail to your bodyshell without requiring specialist painting skills. These decals provide that finishing touch that transforms a plain body into something that looks genuinely factory-spec.
- Pre-Cut High-Quality Vinyl Window Masks — These pre-cut vinyl masks are specifically engineered to fit the NOTORIOUS 6S body perfectly, saving you hours of tedious masking work and ensuring clean, professional paint lines around your windows. The precision of factory pre-cut masks means even novice painters can achieve results that look like they came from a professional paint shop.
- Pre-Trimmed for Fast and Easy Fit — The bodyshell arrives pre-trimmed and ready to mount directly onto your NOTORIOUS 6S chassis with zero additional cutting or modification required. This means you can have your custom body installed and ready to bash within minutes, eliminating frustration and wasted time.
- Protective Over-Spray Film for Safe Painting — The included protective over-spray film covers areas you don't want painted, such as mounting points and internal components, ensuring your custom paint job is applied only to the visible exterior surfaces. This professional-grade addition demonstrates ARRMA's attention to detail and commitment to helping you achieve show-quality results.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA models does this clear body fit? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/8 NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Truck RTR platform. It is compatible with both the Black (C-ARA8611V6T1) and Blue (C-ARA8611V6T2) variants of the NOTORIOUS 6S V6. Before purchasing, confirm your truck is the NOTORIOUS 6S BLX model to ensure perfect compatibility.
- Is this suitable for someone new to custom painting RC bodies? — Absolutely. This package is actually perfect for beginners because it includes everything you need to get started: the clear bodyshell, professional vinyl decals to add instant detail, pre-cut window masks that eliminate frustrating manual masking, and protective over-spray film to keep paint off unwanted areas. Even without specialist painting experience, you can produce results that look genuinely professional.
- What paint do I need to use on polycarbonate RC bodies? — You must use paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies, commonly called poly paint or lexan paint. Standard automotive or acrylic paints will not adhere properly and will chip or peel within days. Check with your local RC shop in the UK for recommended brands, and always follow the manufacturer's preparation and application instructions for best results.
- Can I use this body on other ARRMA trucks? — No, this body is specifically trimmed and engineered for the NOTORIOUS 6S BLX platform only. Attempting to fit it to other ARRMA models such as the OUTCAST or SENTON will result in poor fitment and potential damage to both the body and chassis. Always verify compatibility before purchasing replacement bodyshells.
- How durable is the polycarbonate construction? — Polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials used in RC body manufacturing, offering significantly better impact resistance than ABS plastic. The bodyshell will withstand high-speed crashes, jumps, and aggressive bashfield driving, though like all RC bodies, repeated extreme impacts at high speeds may eventually cause cracks. For most recreational and competitive use, you can expect many months of reliable service.
- Do I need to prepare the body before painting? — Yes, proper preparation is essential. Wash the clear polycarbonate thoroughly with warm soapy water to remove any mould release agent, then dry completely. Use fine-grit sandpaper (approximately 400-600 grit) to lightly scuff the surface, which helps paint adhere properly. Wipe away all dust with a damp cloth before masking and painting.
- What is the purpose of the window mask sheet? — The pre-cut vinyl window mask sheet protects your windows from paint overspray, ensuring clean, professional-looking clear windows in the finished body. Simply apply the masks to the window areas before painting, then peel them away after the paint has dried. This eliminates hours of tedious manual masking work and delivers perfectly straight paint lines every time.
