- Pre-Drilled Body Mounting Holes — Factory-drilled mounting points ensure perfect alignment with your VORTEKS chassis and hidden body mount system, providing secure fitment without the guesswork of drilling your own holes.
- Hidden Body Mount System — This advanced mounting system keeps unsightly bolts and brackets hidden from view, delivering a cleaner, more professional appearance that looks closer to a real vehicle than exposed mounting hardware.
- High-Quality Polycarbonate Construction — Made from durable polycarbonate plastic, this body is engineered to withstand impacts, crashes and the extreme bashing action that comes with serious RC driving, offering longevity through season after season of use.
- Realistic Crew Cab Stadium Truck Styling — The design features aggressive lines, authentic proportions and detailed crew cab bodywork that delivers genuine monster truck aesthetic appeal, making your 1/10 scale RC stand out from the crowd.

Technical Performance
This ARRMA bodyshell is engineered from premium polycarbonate material, the industry standard for 1/10 scale RC bodies due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance. The pre-painted finish uses professional automotive-grade paint that maintains colour vibrancy through countless hours of outdoor use, whilst the factory-applied vinyl decals are designed to withstand moisture, UV exposure and the general wear of competitive RC driving. The hidden body mount system represents a significant step forward in RC design, eliminating the need for visible external brackets that would detract from the authentic styling whilst providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection to your VORTEKS chassis. With pre-drilled mounting holes that align perfectly with the VORTEKS 223S DSC frame, installation requires only basic tools and takes minutes rather than hours. The body's design is optimised for the 1/10 scale stadium truck category, featuring aerodynamic proportions that actually benefit performance in competitive racing environments across the UK. Whether you're running 2S or 3S LiPo battery systems in your VORTEKS, this body accommodates standard battery configurations without modifications, making it fully compatible with most brushless setups.

It fits the following models: C-ARA3505T2 (VORTEKS 223S DSC Blue), C-ARA3505T1 (VORTEKS 223S DSC Yellow), and C-ARA3505T3 (VORTEKS 223S DSC Pink). The hidden body mount system is engineered specifically for these 2WD stadium truck chassis, so fitment is guaranteed without modifications.
- Do I need to paint or decal this body myself? — No, absolutely not. This is a complete pre-painted and pre-decaled bodyshell that arrives ready to use. The pink and black colour scheme is already applied, and all ARRMA vinyl decals and graphics are factory-installed, meaning you can have a factory-fresh look without any painting, masking or decal application work.
- Is the body pre-trimmed, or do I need to cut it? — The body arrives completely pre-trimmed with all windows, air intakes and details already cut out. This means zero cutting work is required—you simply remove the protective film and bolt it onto your VORTEKS chassis. This makes it ideal for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to upgrade their vehicles quickly without hobby knife skills.
- How difficult is it to install this body on my VORTEKS? — Installation is extremely straightforward. The body features pre-drilled mounting holes that align perfectly with the hidden body mount system on VORTEKS 223S chassis. You'll simply need basic tools like an Allen key or wrench to secure the body using the existing mount points—the whole process takes just a few minutes, making it perfect even for beginners new to RC car maintenance.
- What makes the hidden body mount system better than traditional mounting? — The hidden body mount system keeps bolts and brackets out of sight, delivering a cleaner, more professional appearance that looks far more like a real vehicle. It also provides a more secure, vibration-resistant connection compared to visible mounting hardware, which can contribute to better performance on the track and a more polished overall aesthetic.
- Will this body survive bashing and crashes? — Yes. ARRMA bodies are manufactured from durable polycarbonate plastic specifically chosen for its outstanding impact resistance and strength. Whilst no body is completely unbreakable, the polycarbonate construction is engineered to withstand the impacts and crashes that come with serious RC bashing, track racing and off-road driving throughout the UK.
- Can I use this body with different battery configurations? — Yes, this body is designed to work with standard 2WD VORTEKS configurations and accommodates typical 2S and 3S LiPo battery setups without any modifications. The internal cavity has sufficient space for standard battery placements used in these brushless stadium trucks.
- How does this compare to other replacement VORTEKS bodies? — This Z-ARA-2580 offering stands out because it arrives completely finished—no painting, decaling or trimming required. Other body options might be cheaper but require you to invest time and money in finishing work. With this pre-finished body, you're paying for convenience, professional quality and the ability to upgrade your RC vehicle's appearance in minutes rather than hours.
