Overview
The Fastrax 1/8th/1/5th/Transponder Body Clips Fluo Yellow (6) are essential spare parts for RC enthusiasts who run 1/8th scale, 1/5th scale, or transponder-equipped RC cars and trucks. These fluorescent yellow body clips provide a secure, reliable method of fastening your RC car's bodyshell to the chassis, ensuring your vehicle maintains structural integrity during intense racing, bashing, or off-road adventures. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your RC buggy to its limits on the track, a weekend basher enjoying high-speed runs through fields and parks, or a dedicated RC hobbyist constantly upgrading and maintaining your collection, having spare body clips on hand is simply practical sense.
Body clips are among the most frequently replaced components in RC racing and bashing because they endure constant stress from impacts, vibration, and repeated removal and installation. The bright fluorescent yellow colour makes these clips highly visible, which is particularly useful when you're searching for lost clips after a crash or when you need to quickly identify which clips need replacing. These genuine Fastrax clips are manufactured to the exacting standards you'd expect from a trusted RC brand, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance across a wide range of 1/8th and 1/5th scale RC vehicles, including popular models from Traxxas, Team Losi, Team Associated, Mugen, HPI, and other leading manufacturers. With six clips included in each pack, you'll have more than enough spares to keep your RC car running smoothly throughout the racing season, and you can confidently purchase multiples knowing you're investing in genuine, quality components for your beloved RC setup.
At RC Model Shop, we understand that serious RC hobbyists need reliable replacement parts readily available, which is why we stock genuine Fastrax body clips and a comprehensive range of RC accessories for customers across the UK. Whether you're based in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, ordering quality body clips online couldn't be easier, and our experienced team is always available to answer any questions about compatibility with your specific RC vehicle.

Technical Performance
Body clips are precision-engineered fastening components manufactured from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of RC motoring without cracking, breaking, or losing their grip. The Fastrax body clips demonstrate solid engineering and construction quality typical of genuine branded spare parts. Each clip is designed to grip the bodyshell firmly whilst remaining easy enough to remove and install without requiring excessive force or tools—though a body clip removal tool makes the job considerably easier. The fluorescent yellow colour is achieved through high-visibility paint or plastic formulation, ensuring these clips remain visible even in bright sunlight or dusty conditions. These clips provide the critical function of holding your RC car's bodyshell securely to the chassis frame, preventing the body from shifting, rotating, or detaching during high-speed runs, sharp cornering, or aggressive impacts. The design has been refined through years of RC racing and bashing to ensure optimal grip without damaging the bodyshell mounting points. Whether you're running a 1/8th scale buggy at speeds exceeding 50mph, a 1/5th scale RC truck across rough terrain, or a transponder-equipped racing vehicle on a competition track, these body clips will maintain their grip and keep your vehicle looking professional and performing safely. Users will appreciate the fact that having multiple spare clips means you can continue racing without delay when clips wear out or get lost—a common occurrence in intensive RC use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body clips compatible with my 1/8th scale RC buggy? — Yes, these clips are specifically designed for 1/8th scale RC vehicles, making them compatible with popular 1/8th scale buggies, trucks, and truggy models from manufacturers like Traxxas, Team Losi, Team Associated, and others commonly found in the RC car UK market.
- Will these clips fit my 1/5th scale RC truck? — Absolutely. These clips are designed to accommodate both 1/8th and 1/5th scale vehicles, making them a versatile choice for anyone running larger RC models.
- What are body clips and why do I need them? — Body clips are essential fasteners that secure your RC car's plastic bodyshell to the metal chassis frame. They prevent the body from shifting, rotating, or coming loose during driving, which would affect handling, aerodynamics, and vehicle appearance. They're consumable items that wear out and get lost regularly, so having spare clips is practically essential.
- Why is the fluorescent yellow colour important? — The bright fluorescent yellow finish makes these clips highly visible, which helps you quickly identify them on your workbench, spot them if they fall off during racing, and easily see which clips need replacing on your vehicle.
- Are these genuine Fastrax clips? — Yes, these are genuine Fastrax body clips manufactured to the brand's quality standards. When you order from RC Model Shop, you're receiving authentic branded components, not cheap imitations.
- How often do I need to replace body clips? — Body clips wear out over time depending on usage intensity. Frequent racing, impacts, and repeated fastening and unfastening will gradually degrade the clips, so having this six-pack of spares ensures you always have replacements ready without interrupting your racing season.
- Are these suitable for transponder racing? — Yes, these clips are specifically compatible with transponder-equipped RC bodies, making them ideal for competitive racing where transponder receivers are mounted inside the body.
- What makes body clips wear out? — Body clips experience wear from constant vibration during driving, the stress of impact and crashes, repeated removal and installation, and exposure to UV light and moisture. Having spare clips on hand means you can maintain optimal body security without delays.
