Overview
The Logic RC Lexan Shears - Curved (T-LG001) are a purpose-built cutting tool designed specifically for working with Lexan and polycarbonate materials, which are the standard materials used for RC body shells across the UK RC hobby community. Whether you're building a custom RC car, buggy, or truck body, these curved shears provide the precision cutting control needed for clean, professional finishes on your polycarbonate bodywork. RC enthusiasts working with body shells need reliable tools that can handle the unique properties of Lexan without cracking or splintering the material, and these shears are engineered for exactly that task.
The curved cutting profile is specifically suited to following the natural contours and tight curves found on RC car bodies, making them an essential addition to any pit box or workshop. Whether you're trimming window openings, cutting door vents, or preparing a fresh body shell for paint and decals, these shears deliver controlled, smooth cuts that preserve the integrity of your Lexan material. For anyone seriously invested in RC car preparation and finishing tasks, having the right tools makes all the difference between a rushed job and a professional result.
As a day-to-day body preparation tool, the Logic RC Lexan Shears offer excellent value for hobby builders and serious competitors alike. They're lightweight, easy to control, and specifically designed to prevent the splitting and cracking that can occur when using standard scissors or improper cutting methods on polycarbonate. If you're building RC buggies, trucks, or cars and need reliable body finishing equipment, these curved shears belong in your toolkit.
Key Features
- Curved cutting profile — The curved blade design allows you to follow the natural contours and tight curves found on RC body shells, enabling smooth, precise cuts that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with straight blades or standard scissors.
- Purpose-designed for Lexan and polycarbonate — These shears are engineered specifically for working with the polycarbonate materials used in RC car, buggy, and truck body shells, ensuring clean cuts without the cracking or splintering that occurs with general-purpose cutting tools.
- Controlled trimming capability — The shape and design of these shears provide excellent control during trimming operations, allowing you to make precise adjustments when following contours and creating clean edge lines on your bodywork.
- Professional body preparation tool — Ideal for day-to-day body preparation and finishing tasks, from trimming excess material to cutting window openings and other detailed work on your RC shells.
- Compact pit box essential — Designed to be a practical, keep-handy tool for your pit box or workshop, making body finishing tasks more efficient and producing better results than improvised cutting methods.
Technical Performance
The Logic RC Lexan Shears - Curved represent a carefully engineered tool specifically for the RC hobby community's body shell preparation needs. Polycarbonate, commonly known as Lexan, requires specialised cutting tools to avoid the common problems of cracking, splintering, and uneven edges that occur when using standard scissors or knives. The curved blade geometry of this tool is designed to distribute cutting pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface whilst following curved lines with precision. The shears' construction and blade profile have been optimised for the thickness and material properties of standard RC body shells used in 1/10, 1/8, and other popular scales. Unlike general-purpose workshop tools, these shears' specific design for Lexan cutting makes them far more effective and produces professional-quality results that are essential when preparing bodies for painting, decal application, and final assembly. The controlled cut achieved by these shears prevents damage to the surrounding material, allowing you to work confidently on expensive and intricately designed body shells without risk of ruining your work through improper cutting technique or unsuitable tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What materials can I cut with these Lexan shears? — These shears are specifically designed for Lexan and polycarbonate materials, which are the standard body shell materials used across RC cars, buggies, and trucks in the UK hobby. They are purpose-built for this application and will not perform as well on other materials like rubber, plastic, or fabric.
- Can I use these shears for straight cuts as well as curved cuts? — Yes, whilst the curved profile is optimised for following contours and tight curves on RC body shells, you can use these shears for general body trimming tasks. The curved design makes them particularly effective for the contoured work typical in RC body preparation, but they're versatile enough for general body finishing work.
- Are these suitable for beginners working with RC car bodies? — Absolutely. If you're new to RC car building and body preparation, having the correct cutting tools is essential to achieve professional results. These curved shears will help you produce clean cuts on your first project and are far more effective than trying to use standard scissors or knives on polycarbonate body shells.
- Why shouldn't I just use standard scissors to cut my RC body shell? — Standard scissors apply concentrated pressure at a single point and are not designed for polycarbonate's material properties. This causes cracking, splintering, and uneven edges. Lexan shears distribute the cutting force differently, preventing damage to your body shell and producing smooth, professional cuts.
- How long will these shears last? — The Logic RC Lexan Shears are built as a reliable workshop tool designed for regular use in body preparation tasks. Proper care and storage will ensure they remain effective for many projects and years of use.
- What's the difference between curved and straight Lexan shears? — The curved blade profile on these shears is optimised for following the natural contours and tight curves found on RC body shells, making them ideal for precision body work. Straight shears are better suited for general-purpose cutting. The Logic curved model is purpose-designed for the specific demands of RC body shell preparation.
