This clear polycarbonate body offers enthusiasts and competitors alike the opportunity to customise their RC vehicle with vibrant paint schemes whilst maintaining visibility of the internal chassis components. Whether you're a serious racer looking to refresh your Mini-B setup or a weekend basher seeking to personalise your RC buggy UK experience, this lightweight body and wing combination delivers both aesthetic appeal and functional performance benefits that make it a popular choice among the RC community.
As a dedicated RC car UK retailer, we understand that the Mini-B is a beloved platform for both beginners and experienced RC drivers. The lightweight construction of this body and wing package is engineered to reduce overall vehicle weight, which can positively impact acceleration, handling responsiveness, and battery runtime on your brushless RC buggy.

This genuine Losi component is manufactured to the highest standards and comes backed by the quality assurance you'd expect from one of the most respected names in RC motorsport. The clear finish provides a professional appearance whilst allowing customisation through paintwork, and the integrated wing design enhances aerodynamic stability at speed, particularly beneficial when running your brushless Mini-B on high-speed tracks or open terrain.
Key Features
- Lightweight Construction — The body and wing are engineered using lightweight polycarbonate material that reduces overall vehicle mass, leading to improved acceleration response, better handling characteristics, and extended runtime from your LiPo battery pack on your RC buggy.
- Clear Polycarbonate Shell — The transparent design allows full visibility of your chassis internals whilst providing a professional base for custom paint schemes, decals, and personalisation to make your Mini-B truly unique.
- Integrated Wing Design — The included wing provides aerodynamic downforce at speed, improving stability and traction during high-speed runs and cornering, which is particularly valuable on track-based racing setups.
- Purpose-Built for Mini-B Platform — Engineered specifically for the Losi Mini-B brushless configuration, ensuring perfect fit and optimal weight distribution for maximum performance from your RC vehicle.
- Genuine Losi Component — As an authentic Losi part, this bodyshell meets the manufacturer's exacting quality standards and is fully compatible with all Mini-B chassis variants and configurations.
- Easy Installation — The body and wing assembly is designed for quick and straightforward fitment, allowing you to upgrade or repair your Mini-B in minutes without requiring specialist tools or technical knowledge.
Technical Performance
The Losi Lightweight Body & Wing represents the pinnacle of lightweight body design for the Mini-B brushless platform. Manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, the clear shell combines durability with minimal weight addition to your chassis, ensuring that your brushless motor and ESC performance remains optimised. The body's aerodynamic profile, enhanced by the integrated wing design, has been refined through racing experience to provide balanced downforce without creating excessive drag that would hamper acceleration or top speed. The lightweight nature of this component is particularly important for Mini-B owners, as every gram saved contributes to improved power-to-weight ratio, faster acceleration times, and better overall responsiveness to throttle and steering input. The polycarbonate material used in construction is impact-resistant and designed to survive typical RC bashing and racing scenarios, though like all polycarbonate bodies it may require replacement after significant collision damage. The clear finish serves dual purposes: it provides a clean, professional appearance straight from the box, and it acts as an ideal canvas for custom paint schemes using polycarbonate-safe paints and markers. The integrated wing is moulded as part of the body assembly, ensuring structural integrity and eliminating any separate wing components that could become loose or detached during aggressive driving sessions.
