Overview
The ARRMA Roof Skid Set Z-ARA-1613 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to enhance their vehicle's durability and protection. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK hobbyist or someone new to the world of ready to run RC vehicles, this roof skid set is designed to safeguard your investment during aggressive driving, jumps, and impacts. ARRMA has engineered this component to be a direct replacement part, ensuring perfect compatibility with selected models whilst offering the kind of build quality and materials you'd expect from one of the industry's most respected manufacturers of brushless RC short course trucks and off-road vehicles.
Constructed from tough composite material, this roof skid set provides comprehensive protection for the upper body of your RC model. The dual-sided design means that impact loads are distributed across both the left and right skid panels, significantly increasing the structural integrity and longevity of your vehicle's bodywork. This is particularly valuable if you regularly bash your RC truck around rough terrain or enjoy high-speed runs where contact with obstacles is inevitable. The thoughtful engineering behind this component demonstrates ARRMA's commitment to creating parts that don't just fit, but genuinely improve the durability and resilience of your RC vehicle.
RC Model Shop is proud to stock genuine ARRMA spare parts including this roof skid set, ensuring you have access to authentic components that maintain the performance and reliability of your RC model truck. With free mainland UK delivery on orders over £99 and the option for click and collect in store, getting the replacement parts you need has never been more convenient for RC car enthusiasts across Britain.
Key Features
- Dual Roof Skid Design — The set includes both left and right roof skid panels that work in tandem to spread impact loads across the entire upper body structure, dramatically improving your vehicle's durability during bashful driving sessions and protecting the chassis from expensive damage when you make contact with terrain obstacles.
- Tough Composite Material Construction — Manufactured from high-quality composite material, these skids are engineered to withstand repeated impacts and harsh off-road conditions whilst remaining lightweight, ensuring your RC truck's performance characteristics remain unchanged when fitted.
- Innovative Double Socket Button Head Screws — The set includes four M4x16mm double socket button head screws that feature a unique design allowing removal from either end of the fastener, meaning even when the screw head becomes worn down from repeated assembly and disassembly, you can flip the screw around and continue using it without needing replacement fasteners.
- Perfect Replacement Parts — Designed as an exact replacement set, these roof skids restore your vehicle to original factory specification if your existing skids have been damaged, or provide an upgrade path for improving protection on your current RC model.
- Easy Installation — The straightforward mounting system using the included double socket screws means installation can be completed by RC enthusiasts of any experience level without requiring specialist tools or technical knowledge beyond basic RC maintenance.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Roof Skid Set represents intelligent engineering in composite materials science applied to the specific demands of 1/10 scale RC short course truck racing and bashing. The composite material selection balances impact absorption with weight efficiency, ensuring your vehicle maintains optimal performance characteristics whilst gaining significant structural protection. The double socket screw system is particularly noteworthy from an engineering perspective, addressing a common real-world problem faced by RC enthusiasts: screw head wear during frequent maintenance and repair cycles. By allowing the screw to be inverted and reused, ARRMA has created a more sustainable and economical solution that reduces the need for constant fastener replacement. The specification of M4x16mm button head screws provides secure fastening without excess weight, and the four-screw configuration ensures adequate load distribution across both skid panels to maximise protection during high-impact events.
