Overview
The ARRMA 1/8 Painted Body with Decals in Black is the perfect replacement or upgrade bodyshell for your NOTORIOUS 6S BLX V6 stunt truck. Whether you're looking to refresh the appearance of your RC car UK setup, repair damage from serious bashing, or simply change the look of your brushless RC truck, this pre-painted polycarbonate body delivers authentic NOTORIOUS styling with professional-grade finish. This is an official ARRMA component designed specifically for the 1/8 scale NOTORIOUS 6S V6 platform, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing chassis and electronics.
As an enthusiast in the RC hobby, you'll appreciate that having spare bodies on hand is essential for serious bashers and weekend warriors alike. The ARRMA 1/8 Painted Body comes complete with applied decals, saving you time and effort compared to applying graphics yourself. The black colour scheme is classic, aggressive, and looks stunning on the track or at the bash spot. This is genuine ARRMA equipment manufactured to the same quality standards as the original bodyshells fitted to ready to run RC models, making it an excellent investment for anyone committed to their NOTORIOUS 6S BLX V6.
Designed for 1/8 scale RC trucks that demand performance and durability, this body shell is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material that offers excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal handling characteristics. The pre-painted finish eliminates the need for additional painting work, and the factory-applied decal sheet ensures your truck looks factory-fresh right out of the box. If you're running a NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Truck, this body is the authentic choice for replacement or customisation.
Key Features
- Pre-Painted Black Finish — This body arrives fully painted in a striking black colour, eliminating the need for time-consuming painting work and ensuring a professional, consistent finish that matches ARRMA's factory standards.
- Factory-Applied Decals — The authentic NOTORIOUS graphics are already applied to the body, so your truck will look genuine and street-ready immediately upon installation without requiring additional decal application.
- Polycarbonate Construction — The bodyshell is manufactured from tough polycarbonate material that offers exceptional impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight, helping your RC car UK maintain optimal performance and responsiveness during high-speed runs and crashes.
- 1/8 Scale Compatibility — Specifically engineered for 1/8 scale NOTORIOUS 6S BLX V6 chassis, guaranteeing perfect fitment and alignment with your existing frame and suspension components.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — This is an official ARRMA replacement body, ensuring you receive authentic, quality-assured equipment that meets the manufacturer's specifications and quality control standards.
- Universal Truck Body Design — The NOTORIOUS body profile features an aggressive stance and proven aerodynamic shape that works perfectly for both track racing and bashing applications.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA 1/8 Painted Body is engineered from polycarbonate, a material renowned in the RC hobby for its exceptional durability and impact resistance. Polycarbonate bodies flex upon impact rather than cracking, allowing your truck to survive serious crashes and rough bash sessions that would destroy traditional rigid plastic bodies. At the 1/8 scale, this body shell is appropriately sized for the NOTORIOUS 6S platform, which runs powerful brushless systems and demands a bodyshell that can withstand serious punishment. The pre-painted finish has been applied using professional automotive-grade processes, ensuring excellent colour depth, durability and UV resistance. The factory-applied decal sheet is protected by clear coat and integrated into the finish, meaning the graphics won't peel, fade, or lift during normal operation. The body's design complements the NOTORIOUS's aggressive stance and low-slung profile, maintaining the truck's intended aesthetic whilst optimising aerodynamics for high-speed running. This is a direct-fit replacement body for the C-ARA8611V6T2 (NOTORIOUS 6S V6 in Blue) and C-ARA8611V6T1 (NOTORIOUS 6S V6 in Black) ready to run models, so you can be confident that fitment and compatibility are guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body compatible with my NOTORIOUS 6S BLX V6? — Yes, this body is specifically designed as a replacement for the NOTORIOUS 6S V6 4X4 BLX Stunt Truck in both Blue (C-ARA8611V6T2) and Black (C-ARA8611V6T1) configurations. It will fit directly onto your existing chassis without modification.
- Do I need to paint this body? — No, this body arrives completely pre-painted in black with factory-applied decals. It is ready to install straight out of the box with no additional painting or decal work required.
- What material is the body made from? — The body is constructed from polycarbonate, a flexible, durable plastic that resists cracking and breaking during impacts, making it ideal for bashing and racing applications with brushless RC trucks.
- Can I repaint this body in a different colour? — Yes, polycarbonate bodies can be repainted. However, you will need to strip the existing paint and clear coat before applying new colours, which requires specialised equipment and knowledge. Many RC hobbyists prefer to leave factory-applied paint as is.
- How durable is this body for bashing? — Polycarbonate is excellent for bashing because it flexes on impact rather than shattering. The NOTORIOUS's robust design paired with this material makes it suitable for serious off-road running, jumps, and high-speed crashes typical of 1/8 scale RC car UK bashing.
- Will the decals fade or peel? — The factory-applied decal sheet is protected by clear coat and professionally sealed, offering excellent UV and weather resistance. Under normal use, the graphics will remain vibrant and secure for extended periods.
