Key Features
- Tough Polycarbonate Construction — The body is manufactured from durable polycarbonate material, which provides exceptional impact resistance and ensures long-lasting durability even after repeated crashes and rough handling during off-road RC driving sessions.
- Clear Unpainted Finish — The clear bodyshell arrives unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom to design and paint your RC truck body in any colour scheme or design you desire, from realistic monster truck artwork to bold custom graphics.
- GORGON GROM Vinyl Decal Sheet Included — A full vinyl decal sheet is provided in the box, offering factory-designed graphics that you can apply to your custom-painted body to add professional detail and authenticity to your finished RC truck.
- High-Quality Vinyl Window Masks — Pre-cut vinyl masks are included specifically for the windows, making the masking process fast and straightforward so you can achieve clean, precise paint lines around the windows without tedious manual masking.
- Protective Over-Spray Film — A protective over-spray film is supplied to shield sensitive areas during the painting process, ensuring paint doesn't accidentally coat components that should remain unpainted and helping you achieve a professional-quality finish.
- Pre-Trimmed for Easy Fit — The bodyshell comes pre-trimmed from the factory, eliminating the need for time-consuming cutting and trimming work, allowing you to get your customised RC truck running quickly after painting is complete.
- Factory-Designed for GORGON GROM Compatibility — This body is engineered specifically to fit the ARRMA 1/16 GORGON GROM 4X4 RTR models, ensuring perfect alignment and fitment without modification or adjustment.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA GORGON GROM Body represents excellent engineering for 1/16 scale RC off-road trucks. Constructed from polycarbonate, a material widely recognised throughout the RC hobby for its superior impact resistance compared to traditional plastic bodyshells, this component is designed to absorb the punishment that comes with bashing. The clear finish allows light to pass through, meaning once painted, your custom artwork will display beautifully without the paint appearing dull or faded. The body is fully compatible with the ARRMA 1/16 GORGON GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck models available in Red, Yellow, and Bronze colour variations, making it a perfect replacement or backup bodyshell for any owner of these ready to run RC vehicles. The inclusion of pre-cut vinyl window masks and protective over-spray film demonstrates ARRMA's attention to detail and commitment to helping UK RC enthusiasts achieve professional results when customising their electric RC trucks. The pre-trimmed design means there's no wastage or additional preparation required — simply paint, apply decals, and mount onto your chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA GORGON GROM Clear Body compatible with my RC truck? — Yes, this body is specifically designed to fit the ARRMA 1/16 GORGON GROM 4X4 RTR Brushed Monster Truck models, including the Red, Yellow, and Bronze variants. It will not fit other ARRMA models or different scales, so please verify you have the correct GORGON GROM chassis before ordering.
- What paint should I use on a polycarbonate RC body? — The ARRMA GORGON GROM body is made from polycarbonate, which requires specialist RC spray paint formulated for this material. Standard household paint may not adhere properly or could crack when the body flexes during impacts. Always use polycarbonate-compatible RC body paint available from hobby retailers across the UK.
- Does this body come with everything I need to paint it? — The body includes vinyl window masks and protective over-spray film to help with the painting process, plus a vinyl decal sheet for finishing touches. However, you will need to source your own paint and painting supplies. The included masking and protective film components make the painting process significantly easier than starting from scratch.
- Can I use this as a replacement body for my existing GORGON GROM RTR? — Absolutely. This clear body works as both a replacement bodyshell if your original is damaged, or as an alternative for creating a completely different custom look. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare bodies to experiment with different paint schemes without interrupting their driving time.
- How does the clear polycarbonate material compare to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is significantly more durable than standard plastic used in budget RC bodies, offering superior impact resistance and flexibility. This means the body will bend rather than shatter when it hits obstacles during RC off-road adventures, protecting both the body and the chassis components underneath.
- What is included with the vinyl decals and masks? — The package includes a complete GORGON GROM vinyl decal sheet with factory-designed graphics ready to apply to your painted body, plus pre-cut window masks that fit the bodyshell perfectly. These save considerable time during the build and customisation process.
