Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material that provides exceptional impact resistance and durability, ensuring your custom paintwork stays protected during aggressive driving and inevitable bashings that come with off-road RC use.
- Pre-Trimmed for Fast Installation — Unlike raw bodyshells that require careful cutting and preparation, this body arrives pre-trimmed and ready to fit onto your SENTON 4X4, saving you valuable time and eliminating the risk of damaging the shell during the trimming process.
- Included SENTON Vinyl Decal Sheet — A complete factory decal sheet is included in the package, allowing you to add professional detail and authenticity to your custom paint job, with options to use them as-is or incorporate them into your own design scheme.
- High-Quality Vinyl Window Masks — Pre-cut window masking sheets are supplied with the body, enabling fast and precise masking during your painting process, ensuring clean paint lines around windows and preventing overspray on transparent areas without requiring manual cutting.
- Protective Over-Spray Film — A protective film is applied to the body during manufacturing, providing a barrier that makes the custom painting process faster and easier whilst protecting certain areas from unintended paint application.
- Compatible with Hidden Body Mount System — Specifically designed to work with the SENTON 4X4's hidden body mounting system, this shell fits perfectly and securely without the need for external body posts, creating a clean, professional appearance on your RC vehicle.
- Clear Polycarbonate Finish — The unpainted clear finish allows your custom paint design to shine through without any factory paint interference, giving you complete creative freedom to design your vehicle's appearance exactly as you envision it.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA SENTON 4X4 Trimmed Body is engineered from genuine polycarbonate, the industry standard for high-performance RC car bodies. Polycarbonate offers superior impact resistance compared to alternative materials, meaning your custom paint job remains protected even during rough driving sessions typical of short course truck bashers. The material flexibility allows the body to absorb impacts from crashes and collisions without cracking or shattering, unlike more brittle alternatives. This 1/10 scale body is specifically engineered for the SENTON 4X4 platform, a 4WD short course truck that combines high-speed capability with off-road durability. The pre-trimmed design eliminates manufacturing defects and sizing inconsistencies, ensuring a perfect fit onto the chassis and mounting system every time. The included protective over-spray film and pre-cut window masks demonstrate ARRMA's attention to detail, reducing preparation time from hours to minutes whilst maintaining professional results. Whether you're running a stock brushless setup or a high-performance build, this body's aerodynamic design performs consistently across the SENTON 4X4 range. The clear polycarbonate construction weighs minimally, helping preserve your vehicle's handling characteristics and power-to-weight ratio regardless of your drivetrain configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA SENTON 4X4 Trimmed Body compatible with my current SENTON setup? — This body is specifically designed for SENTON 4X4 models featuring the hidden body mounting system. The package lists compatibility with the C-ARA4303V4T1, C-ARA4303V4T2, and C-ARA4303V4T3 SENTON 223S BLX models, which are the latest generation short course trucks in the SENTON range. If you own any SENTON 4X4 variant with hidden body mounts, this shell will fit perfectly. We recommend checking your vehicle's documentation or contacting our team if you're uncertain about compatibility with older model variations.
- Do I need painting equipment to use this body, or does it come ready to drive? — This is a bare, unpainted bodyshell component, not a complete ready-to-run RC car. You will need painting equipment including spray paint (lacquer or acrylic RC body paint), masking materials, and a spray booth or well-ventilated area. However, the pre-cut window masks and protective over-spray film included in the package significantly simplify the painting process, especially for beginners attempting their first custom paint job. Many UK RC retailers sell complete RC body paint kits that work perfectly with this shell.
- What makes this body better than a clipless alternative? — Trimmed bodies like this one come pre-cut to exact specifications, eliminating the need for careful trimming with a hobby knife or cutting tools. This saves time and reduces the risk of accidentally damaging the shell. The pre-trimmed design also ensures consistent fit across multiple shells if you're building a collection. Clipless bodies can sometimes require additional fitting work, whereas this trimmed body is ready for immediate installation once painted and dry.
- Can I use this body on a non-SENTON ARRMA vehicle? — No, this body is specifically designed for SENTON 4X4 models with the hidden body mounting system. ARRMA produces different body designs for different model lines including Granite, Kraton, Vorteks, Big Rock, and Outcast, each engineered to fit their respective chassis and mounting configurations. Using this body on a different platform would result in poor fit and potential performance issues. If you own a different ARRMA model, we stock the appropriate body for your specific vehicle.
- How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is the preferred material for serious RC enthusiasts because it balances durability with flexibility. Unlike painted plastic shells that can crack under impact, polycarbonate absorbs shock and flexes without permanent deformation. This makes it ideal for bashers and off-road drivers who expect their RC vehicles to survive crashes and rough terrain. The material also resists UV degradation far better than cheaper alternatives, meaning your custom paint job will maintain its appearance over extended periods of outdoor use.
- What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — Always use polycarbonate-compatible RC body paint, typically available as lacquer or acrylic formulations specifically designed for RC cars. Standard household paint or automotive paint will not adhere properly to polycarbonate and may peel or crack. Most major RC brands including Tamiya, Spray Max, and ARRMA itself produce dedicated RC body paints that work beautifully on polycarbonate shells. Never use paint containing harsh solvents that can weaken or cloud the polycarbonate material.
- Will this body improve my SENTON 4X4's performance? — Body shells do not directly affect mechanical performance, speed, or handling characteristics. However, a fresh, lightweight polycarbonate body maintains your vehicle's power-to-weight ratio, and the aerodynamic design of the SENTON 4X4 body helps with high-speed stability. More importantly, having multiple bodies allows you to protect your investment by swapping bodies when damaged, keeping your vehicle running whilst one body undergoes repair or repainting. Some drivers also report that maintaining a well-painted, cared-for body positively impacts their driving enthusiasm and care for the vehicle overall.
- How long does the painting process take? — With the pre-cut masks and protective film included, most experienced builders can complete the basic masking and painting process in 2-3 hours, though drying times between coats may extend the total project duration to a full day or more. First-time painters may need additional time for careful masking and to allow adequate drying between colour coats. The vinyl window masks and over-spray film significantly accelerate this process compared to preparing a raw, untrimmed body from scratch.
- Can I paint this body in multiple colours? — Absolutely. The clear polycarbonate base and included vinyl masks enable complex multi-colour paint schemes. You can mask and paint multiple colours in sequence, creating designs ranging from simple two-colour patterns to elaborate competition-grade graphics. Many UK RC enthusiasts create stunning custom schemes on polycarbonate bodies that rival factory paint jobs. Just ensure adequate drying time between colour applications for best results.
