Key Features
- Pack of Six Clips — You receive six large body clips in every pack, providing multiple fastening solutions for your RC vehicle or spare replacements when clips wear out or become lost during use. This quantity is ideal for keeping spares readily available.
- Large Body Clip Design — The large size of these clips makes them suitable for securing bodyshells across a range of popular RC vehicles, offering superior holding power compared to smaller clip variants. The larger clip profile distributes clamping force more evenly across the body mounting points.
- Fastrax Quality Engineering — Manufactured by Fastrax, a recognised brand in the RC hobby, these clips are designed and produced to consistent standards that ensure reliable performance. Fastrax components are trusted by RC competitors and casual enthusiasts alike throughout the UK hobby community.
- Universal Compatibility — These large body clips are engineered to work with various RC vehicle platforms and body styles, making them a versatile addition to your spares box. Whether you're running Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi, or other popular RC brands, large body clips are a fundamental requirement.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand repeated mounting and removal cycles without losing clip tension or strength, these fasteners maintain their holding force throughout their service life. Quality materials ensure longevity and reliability across multiple seasons of RC use.
- Easy Installation — Body clips install and remove quickly without special tools, allowing you to swap bodyshells, perform maintenance, or adjust your setup without delay. This simplicity makes them perfect for both experienced RC racers and newcomers to the hobby.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Large Body Clips FAST213 represent a fundamental yet critical component in RC vehicle assembly and maintenance. Body clips serve the crucial function of securing your RC car's bodyshell to the chassis, preventing unwanted movement during acceleration, cornering, and over rough terrain. The large size of these clips indicates they are engineered for vehicles with larger mounting points or those requiring enhanced holding force. Throughout the RC car UK community, body clips are recognised as consumable items that may require periodic replacement due to wear, loss, or damage sustained during enthusiastic driving sessions. The engineering behind Fastrax body clips focuses on consistent clamping force—the clips must grip the body mounting lugs securely enough to prevent the shell from shifting during dynamic driving, yet allow removal without tools and without damaging the bodyshell material. The pack of six ensures you have sufficient clips for a single vehicle application with spares remaining, or the ability to maintain clips for multiple RC models simultaneously. Quality clip design prevents over-tightening that could crack plastic bodyshells whilst maintaining the tension necessary for secure retention across all driving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Fastrax Large Body Clips compatible with my RC vehicle? — Large body clips from Fastrax are designed for universal compatibility with a wide range of RC vehicles from popular manufacturers including Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi, and many others. Check that your vehicle's body mounting system uses standard clip-style fasteners and that your mounting lugs are sized appropriately for large clips. If you're uncertain about compatibility with your specific model, our expert team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance.
- How many body clips do I need for my RC car? — Most RC vehicles use between three and six body clips depending on body size and design. The pack of six FAST213 clips provides sufficient fasteners for one vehicle application with spares, or allows you to maintain multiple vehicles simultaneously.
- What is the difference between large and small body clips? — Large body clips feature a larger clip profile and wider clamping surface compared to small clips, making them suitable for vehicles with larger mounting points or those requiring enhanced holding force. Larger clips distribute clamping force more evenly and are often used on bigger scale models or vehicles with substantial bodyshell mass.
- Do body clips wear out and need replacement? — Yes, body clips can eventually lose their spring tension after repeated mounting and removal cycles, particularly if frequently adjusted or if the clip material becomes fatigued. Keeping spare clips ensures you can maintain optimal body retention even as your existing clips age. The six-pack provides this security.
- Are these clips suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Body clips are one of the simplest RC components to install and remove, requiring no special tools or technical knowledge. Beginners will find clip-style body fastening far more accessible than alternative mounting systems, making these clips ideal for anyone new to RC cars.
