Technical Performance
The Pro-Line Pre-Cut School Bus Body represents a perfect balance between durability, fit and visual impact for the 1/16 scale ARRMA GORGON GROM platform. Manufactured from high-impact clear polycarbonate—a material specifically chosen for its excellent toughness and damage resistance—this bodyshell can absorb the punishment that comes with aggressive bashing and freestyle driving without cracking, splitting or delaminating. The polycarbonate material is lighter than traditional painted shells, which can offer slight performance benefits by reducing unsprung weight on your GORGON GROM, whilst the clear finish provides visibility into the interior details and chassis components if desired. The pre-cut design eliminates the need for body post hole trimming, which can be a source of weakness if incorrectly sized, ensuring that mounting points are precisely engineered from the factory for optimal strength and longevity. The moulded details are integral to the polycarbonate shell itself, meaning they won't peel or separate with age and use. This is a 1/16 scale body specifically engineered for the ARRMA GORGON GROM platform, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone seeking to personalise their ready to run RC monster truck with a distinctive and durable aftermarket shell that maintains the performance characteristics of the baseline vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this body fit my ARRMA GORGON GROM monster truck? — Yes, absolutely. This body is engineered specifically for the ARRMA GORGON GROM 1/16 scale chassis and bolts directly onto the existing body mounts without modification. It will also work on the ARRMA QUAKE GROM if you use GORGON body mounts.
- Is this a pre-painted body or unpainted? — This is an unpainted, clear polycarbonate shell. It comes with a pre-cut decal sheet so you can apply graphics straight from the box, or you can paint it yourself with custom graphics and designs using the included window masks.
- Do I need special tools to install this body? — No, installation is straightforward. Simply bolt the pre-cut bodyshell onto your existing GORGON GROM body mounts using the factory body post holes that are already trimmed and ready to use. Standard RC tools are all you'll need.
- Can I paint this clear polycarbonate body? — Yes, you can paint the exterior of the clear polycarbonate shell with RC-specific polycarbonate paints, or use acrylic paints on the interior if you prefer to keep it clear. The included window masks make painting easier by protecting areas you want to remain clear.
- What is the difference between this and a standard plastic body? — This body is moulded from high-impact clear polycarbonate, which is significantly more durable and impact-resistant than standard plastic, making it ideal for bashing.
