Technical Performance
This replacement body shell is engineered from premium polycarbonate material that delivers the perfect balance between strength and weight. The material choice is critical for stadium truck bodies, as polycarbonate provides superior impact resistance compared to cheaper alternatives, meaning your body will survive the inevitable crashes and hard contact that comes with competitive racing and recreational bashing. The factory paint application utilises professional-grade automotive finishes that resist fading, chipping and weathering, maintaining the brilliant Blue and Black colour scheme through countless sessions at the track. The pre-applied ARRMA vinyl decals are of exceptional quality, featuring crisp graphics and authentic branding that won't peel or lift during use. At 1/10 scale, this body is sized perfectly for the VORTEKS 2WD chassis, ensuring proper weight distribution, aerodynamics and visual proportions. The hidden body mount system eliminates the visual distraction of traditional external clips and mounts, creating a seamless, professional appearance that looks like genuine factory equipment. Installation is straightforward thanks to the factory pre-trimmed windows, doors and pre-drilled mounting holes, allowing you to transition from damaged body to replacement in just a few minutes without requiring any specialist tools or technical knowledge. This body is fully compatible with the VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Stadium Truck in all colour variants, making it an ideal replacement for original or damaged bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this body shell compatible with all VORTEKS models? — This body is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/10 VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD RTR Brushless Stadium Truck models. It is compatible with the Blue, Yellow, and Pink variants of the VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD. It will not fit 4WD versions or other VORTEKS generations, so always verify your specific model number before purchasing.
- How long does installation take? — Because the body arrives pre-trimmed and pre-drilled with the hidden body mounting system already engineered into the design, installation typically takes just 5-10 minutes. There is no cutting, drilling or measurement required, making this an excellent choice for busy hobbyists who want to minimise downtime between racing sessions.
- Will the paint scheme match my original truck? — Yes, this body features the factory Blue and Black colour scheme that matches the original VORTEKS 223S DSC 2WD RTR specification. The professional factory paint application ensures perfect colour matching and consistency across the entire shell.
- Why choose a replacement body over repairing the damaged one? — Replacement bodies offer exceptional value and convenience. A damaged body cannot return to its original appearance once cracked or crushed, whereas this replacement offers a fresh, factory-perfect finish. The pre-painted and pre-decaled design saves hours of preparation work compared to repairing and repainting a damaged shell.
- Is polycarbonate the best material for stadium truck bodies? — Yes, polycarbonate is the industry standard for RC bodies because it combines excellent impact resistance, durability, and weight efficiency. It absorbs impact energy without shattering like plastic alternatives, and the material maintains its shape under normal track conditions, ensuring your truck continues to handle predictably race after race.
- Does this body come with mounting hardware? — The body itself does not include mounting hardware, but it features the hidden body mount system pre-engineered into the shell. Mounting hardware is typically supplied with new VORTEKS trucks or available separately as the Body Accessory Pack (ARAC3285), ensuring you have everything needed for secure installation.
- Can I paint or customise this body further? — Absolutely. Whilst this body arrives in a stunning factory finish, polycarbonate can be customised with additional paint, vinyl wraps, or decals if you want a unique look. The pre-applied decals and paint will not interfere with additional customisation.
