Technical Performance
The ARRMA QUAKE GROM Body Purple is engineered from tough polycarbonate, a material specifically chosen for RC bodyshells because of its excellent balance between lightweight construction and impact resistance. Polycarbonate is the industry standard for high-quality RC bodies across the world, and ARRMA's manufacturing expertise ensures this shell meets the demands of serious enthusiasts. The body measures 1/16 scale, making it compatible with the full range of QUAKE GROM RTR brushed monster trucks available in the UK market. The pre-painted finish has been applied using automotive-grade paint processes, which means it resists fading and chipping better than budget alternatives, whilst the pre-decaled graphics add depth and visual interest without requiring specialist application skills. Every detail from the wheel arches to the bumper trim comes factory-finished, allowing you to maintain the authenticity and resale value of your RC truck. The lightweight nature of polycarbonate construction is crucial for 1/16 scale vehicles, as it helps maintain optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics across the chassis and suspension components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What QUAKE GROM models is this body compatible with? — This purple bodyshell is compatible with the ARRMA 1/16 QUAKE GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck, including the Purple variant (C-ARA2137T3). It is also compatible with other QUAKE GROM variants available with different colour options, making it an excellent choice for customisation and replacement purposes.
- Do I need to paint or decal this body myself? — No, this is one of the major advantages of purchasing a pre-finished ARRMA body. The purple paint is already applied and the ARRMA vinyl decals are pre-applied, so you simply remove it from the packaging and install it straight onto your chassis. This saves hours of preparation work and eliminates the need for expensive painting equipment.
- How easy is installation? — Installation is extremely straightforward. The body mounts are pre-fitted and the shell is pre-trimmed, meaning there is no cutting, drilling or complex assembly required. Simply remove your old body, disconnect any mounting points, slide on the new QUAKE GROM shell, and reconnect the mounts. Most users can complete this task in under 5 minutes without specialist tools.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA product? — Yes, this is an official ARRMA component manufactured to the same quality standards as all ARRMA vehicles and spares. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you are receiving a genuine product backed by ARRMA's quality assurance and warranty support.
- What if my body gets damaged? — Polycarbonate is highly durable, but if your body does sustain damage during use, this replacement shell allows you to restore your truck to factory condition. Simply swap out the old body for the new one and you're back in action.
- Will this body fit my GORGON GROM? — No, this is specifically a QUAKE GROM body and will not fit GORGON GROM models, which use different chassis and mounting points. Check your truck's model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
- What makes this better than a generic body shell? — ARRMA bodies are manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring perfect fitment with zero gaps or misalignment. They are painted and decaled to factory standards, and constructed from premium polycarbonate that resists impacts better than budget alternatives.
