Technical Performance
The Fastrax 1/8th/1/5th/Transponder Body Clips are engineered from durable materials capable of withstanding the stresses of RC motorsport. Body clips are critical fastening components that must maintain consistent tension and grip over extended use. The metallic purple finish is applied to high-quality plastic or composite material that resists cracking and breakage during typical RC vehicle operation. These clips are specifically designed to work with the standard body mounting points found on 1/8th scale buggies and truggies, as well as larger 1/5th scale RC vehicles. The universal transponder compatibility means they'll work with transponder-equipped race cars, making them ideal for organised RC racing events and club competitions across the UK. Unlike inferior knockoff clips that can slip or fail during high-speed runs, Fastrax clips maintain their grip throughout your driving session, protecting your expensive bodyshell investment from damage and ensuring your RC car remains road-legal and race-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body clips compatible with my RC car? — Yes, these Fastrax clips are designed to work with 1/8th scale vehicles including buggies and truggies, as well as 1/5th scale RC cars. They're also compatible with transponder-equipped models used in organised RC racing. If your vehicle is within these scale ranges and uses standard body clip mounting points, these clips will fit perfectly.
- Why would I need spare body clips for my RC car? — Body clips experience wear and tear during regular driving, and they can crack or break during crashes and impacts. Keeping spare clips on hand means you can replace damaged ones immediately and get back to racing or bashing without downtime. This six-pack ensures you'll always have replacements ready in your RC garage or tool box.
- Will the metallic purple colour fade or wear off? — The metallic purple finish is applied to high-quality Fastrax components and resists fading during normal RC use. However, exposure to intense sunlight over extended periods may eventually cause minor colour fading. The functional performance of the clips remains unaffected by any aesthetic changes.
- How many clips do I need for my RC car? — Most 1/8th and 1/5th scale RC vehicles use between 2-4 body clips depending on the bodyshell design and vehicle type. A six-pack provides enough clips for multiple vehicles or allows you to keep several spares for your main RC car.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Body clips are simple to install and remove – no special tools or technical knowledge required. Whether you're a seasoned RC racer or new to the hobby, these clips are an essential maintenance item that any RC enthusiast should have in their spares collection.
- Do these clips work with the standard bodyshells for Traxxas, ARRMA and other major brands? — These Fastrax clips are designed to work with standard body mounting points found on most 1/8th and 1/5th scale RC vehicles. However, we recommend checking your specific vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility with your particular model and bodyshell type.
