Overview
The Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Medium Purple 10 Pcs (C-35113) are essential fastening components designed specifically for 1/10 scale RC racing cars. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or serious RC enthusiast in the UK, these body clips provide a reliable solution for securing your RC car body to the chassis with speed and precision. Made by Team Corally, a recognised manufacturer of high-quality RC components, these clips are engineered to make installation and removal quick and effortless, allowing you to swap bodies or perform maintenance without wasting valuable track or bash time.
Body clips are one of the most frequently replaced consumables in any RC car collection, and having a reliable supply of spares is crucial for keeping your RC car UK setup running smoothly. The distinctive purple anodised colour not only looks great but also helps you quickly identify your clips amongst a pile of other spares. These medium-sized clips are colour-anodised for durability and visual appeal, making them both a practical choice and an aesthetic upgrade to your RC car's fastening system. The 45-degree bent edge design is the key to their popularity among RC racers and hobbyists alike.
Whether you're maintaining a 1/10 scale buggy, touring car, truck, or truggy, the Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Medium offer the quality and reliability you need. At just 28mm in length with a 1.5mm wire diameter, these clips are perfectly proportioned for medium-duty applications on 1/10 scale vehicles. With 10 clips per blister pack, you'll have enough spares to keep your RC car performing at its best.
Key Features
- 45-Degree Bent Edge Design — The distinctive 45-degree angle on the bend allows for exceptionally easy installation and quick removal without the need for tools. This design means you can swap your RC car body in seconds, which is invaluable when you need to change setups at the track or quickly access your chassis for maintenance and adjustments.
- Made from Special Spring Steel — These body clips are manufactured from high-quality spring steel that provides consistent tension and holding force. Spring steel ensures that the clips maintain their shape through repeated use and won't become permanently deformed or lose their grip over time, even with regular installation and removal cycles typical in competitive RC racing.
- Purple Anodised Colour — The vibrant purple anodised finish is not merely decorative; the anodising process hardens the surface of the steel, improving durability and corrosion resistance. The colour also serves a practical purpose, making your clips easily identifiable in your RC spares box and adding a touch of personalisation to your 1/10 scale RC car.
- Medium Size for 1/10 Scale — Specifically engineered for 1/10 scale RC racing cars, these medium-sized clips are the perfect fit for the majority of 1/10 buggies, trucks, touring cars and truggies. The 28mm length and 1.5mm wire diameter are precisely calibrated to provide adequate holding power without being oversized or creating interference with other components.
- Blister Pack of 10 Pieces — Each pack contains 10 individual clips, giving you enough spares to maintain your RC car collection or to have backup clips on hand at races and events. This quantity represents excellent value and ensures you'll rarely find yourself without a replacement when a clip becomes lost or damaged.
- High-Quality Fastening Solution — Body clips are among the most critical fastening elements on an RC car, holding your body securely to the chassis whilst remaining easy to remove. These Corally clips deliver professional-grade performance at an affordable price point, making them suitable for everyone from casual hobbyists to serious competitors.
Technical Performance
The Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Medium Purple represent the gold standard in body fastening for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Manufactured from special spring steel, these clips deliver the consistent performance and reliability demanded by serious RC racers and enthusiasts across the UK. The engineering is straightforward but highly effective: a precisely formed wire loop with a 45-degree bent edge that grips your RC car body firmly whilst remaining easy to manipulate by hand. At 28mm in overall length with a 1.5mm wire diameter, the clips are sized perfectly for medium-duty applications on 1/10 scale buggies, touring cars, short course trucks, and truggies. The spring steel construction ensures that each clip maintains its tension through hundreds of installation cycles without permanent deformation. The anodised purple finish not only protects the underlying steel from corrosion but also adds visual appeal and helps with organisation in your spares collection. Whether you're running at a local track, competing in national championships, or simply bashing with friends at the weekend, these clips provide the quality you can rely on. The 45-degree bend angle is the result of years of RC design refinement and makes a genuine difference in ease of use compared to straight or differently angled clips.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Medium suitable for all 1/10 scale RC cars? — These clips are specifically designed for 1/10 scale RC racing cars and are compatible with the vast majority of 1/10 buggies, touring cars, short course trucks, and truggies. However, you should verify that your RC car body has the standard clip receptacles designed for medium-sized clips. Some vehicles may require small or large clips instead, so check your vehicle's manual or body specifications before ordering.
- Why are the clips anodised purple instead of black or silver? — The purple anodised finish serves multiple purposes. The anodising process itself hardens the steel surface, improving corrosion resistance and durability under repeated use. The distinctive colour makes your clips easily identifiable in your spares box and adds a professional, colour-coordinated appearance to your RC car setup if you're running a purple theme. The colour is purely functional and aesthetic; it does not affect performance.
- What makes the 45-degree bend design better than straight clips? — The 45-degree bent edge is engineered for ease of installation and removal. This angle allows you to grip the clip with your fingers and snap it onto your RC car body's clip posts without requiring tools. The design reduces stress on both the clip and your RC car body, makes clip changes faster at the track, and is significantly more user-friendly than alternative designs, especially when wearing gloves during cold UK weather racing.
- How many clips do I need for my 1/10 RC car? — Most 1/10 scale RC car bodies require four body clips to secure the body to the chassis effectively — one at each corner or along the sides depending on your body design. The blister pack of 10 clips gives you enough for two and a half vehicles, making it an economical choice if you run multiple RC cars or want backup clips for replacements and practice sessions.
- Are these clips suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. These clips are designed for ease of use, and the 45-degree bent design makes them extremely beginner-friendly. Unlike some fastening systems that require tools or special techniques, these clips snap on and off by hand, making them perfect for newcomers to the RC hobby who are still learning how to maintain and adjust their vehicles.
- What is the difference between these medium clips and small or large alternatives? — Body clip sizes vary to accommodate different RC car scales and body designs. These medium clips are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale vehicles with standard body clip receptacles. Small clips are typically used for micro or smaller-scale vehicles, whilst large clips are designed for bigger scales like 1/8. Using the correct size ensures proper grip and body security.
- Will these clips work as replacements for damaged clips on my existing RC car? — Yes, if your RC car originally came with medium-sized body clips and you've lost or damaged some, the Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Medium are direct replacements. Simply remove the damaged clip and snap the new one into place. Ensure your vehicle's clip receptacles are designed for medium-sized clips before purchasing.
- How long do these body clips last? — Spring steel clips can withstand hundreds of installation and removal cycles without permanent deformation or loss of holding power. Longevity depends on usage patterns, but most racers find that clips last for many seasons of regular use. Over time, repeated stress may eventually require replacement, which is why having spare packs is recommended for serious competitors.
