Key Features
- Pull Tab Quick Release Design — Instead of struggling with traditional body clips that require fingernail pressure or tools to remove, these clips feature convenient pull tabs that make body removal intuitive and fast, saving valuable time during setup, maintenance and pit stops.
- Pack of Four Clips — Four clips are included in each pack, providing sufficient coverage for most standard RC car body shells, ensuring your bodyshell stays securely attached during high-speed runs and aggressive driving.
- Medium Size Compatibility — The medium size specification makes these clips suitable for a wide variety of popular RC vehicles including crawlers, buggies, truggies and other recreational and competitive models used throughout the UK.
- Easy Access to Chassis and Electronics — By simplifying body removal, these clips give you quick and unrestricted access to your chassis, suspension, electronics and battery compartment for adjustments, maintenance and repairs without prolonged disassembly.
- Reliable Fastrax Engineering — Manufactured by Fastrax, a trusted producer of RC accessories, these clips are designed with durability and practicality in mind, backed by the brand's commitment to quality and user experience.
- Colour Variation Available — Body clip colour may vary, which means you may receive clips in different colours; this does not affect functionality and allows Fastrax to streamline manufacturing and ensure product availability.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Pull Tab Body Clips represent thoughtful engineering applied to a common RC car accessory. Built to withstand the stresses of regular removal and installation cycles, these clips are manufactured from durable materials capable of securely holding your RC car's body shell in place during aggressive driving, high-speed runs and challenging terrain. The pull tab mechanism uses a rubber or elastomer design that provides tactile feedback and allows for comfortable one-handed operation—a significant improvement over traditional body clips that require two-handed pressure or the use of tools. The medium size specification indicates these clips are engineered for popular 1/8th scale and 1/10th scale RC vehicles, as well as many crawler and specialty models. The construction quality ensures that the clips will maintain their grip over hundreds of installation and removal cycles, a critical factor for active RC enthusiasts who regularly access their chassis for maintenance, battery changes, servo adjustments, and shock tuning. Each clip in the pack of four is manufactured to identical specifications, ensuring consistent retention and balanced body seating across all four mounting points.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do pull tab body clips make body removal easier than traditional clips? — Traditional body clips require significant finger pressure or the use of a flathead screwdriver to prise the clip open and release the body. Pull tab clips feature an integrated rubber tab that you simply grasp and pull, releasing the clip mechanism with minimal effort and no tools required. This makes pit stop adjustments, battery changes and chassis access dramatically faster and more convenient.
- Are these clips suitable for all RC car types? — The medium size makes these clips compatible with most popular RC vehicles including crawlers, buggies, short course trucks and truggies. However, you should verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing, as some specialist vehicles may require different clip sizes.
- What does it mean that body clip colour may vary? — This note indicates that Fastrax manufactures these clips in different colours (such as black, red, blue or natural plastic) and you may receive any colour in your pack of four. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the functionality, grip strength or durability of the clips.
- How many body clips do I need? — Most standard RC car body shells use four body clips—one at each corner or mounting point—making a pack of four suitable for one complete vehicle. If you have multiple RC models or prefer to keep spare clips, additional packs can be purchased.
- Will these clips work with my existing body shell? — These medium-sized pull tab clips are designed to work with the standard body posts and mounting points found on most popular RC car models. If your body shell features non-standard mounting points or uses specialised clips, compatibility may vary.
- How durable are the rubber pull tabs? — The pull tabs are manufactured from elastomer material designed to withstand repeated use. However, like all rubber components, they can degrade over time or if subjected to extreme force. One user has reported that the rubber tabs can snap if over-stressed, so it's recommended to pull the tabs smoothly rather than jerking them forcefully.
