Overview

The Killerbody Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Clear Bodyshell (KB48001) is an authentic 1/10 scale RC car body that captures the aggressive styling and iconic design of one of the most legendary rally cars ever built. This is the perfect choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to create a detailed, scale-accurate touring car build.

Supplied as an untrimmed, unpainted clear shell, the Killerbody Lancer EVO X body gives you complete creative control over your build.

Killerbody is renowned for specialising in RC model bodies, and this Lancer EVO X demonstrates their commitment to authentic scale detail and comprehensive component packages. The bodyshell arrives with overspray film and window masks pre-fitted, saving you time during the painting and preparation process. With its long wheelbase design and proven compatibility with leading RC chassis platforms, this is an ideal body for builders looking to create a competition-grade or display-quality touring car that stands out from the crowd.

Key Features

• Clear unpainted bodyshell — The body arrives completely transparent and unpainted, giving you the freedom to choose any paint scheme, livery, or colour combination that matches your vision, whether you want authentic Lancer Evolution racing colours or a completely custom design.
• Comprehensive accessories package — This bodyshell includes far more than just the shell itself; you get chromed plastic parts such as front and rear car badges, wing mirror glass, exhaust pipes, and light buckets that add genuine scale detail and authenticity to your finished model.
• Black plastic components included — Additional black plastic parts such as wing mirrors, windshield wipers, rear wing, front and rear number plates, and rear spoiler are supplied, eliminating the need to source these items separately and ensuring your build stays true to the original Lancer EVO X design.
• Overspray film and window masks pre-fitted — The body comes with protective overspray film and pre-cut window masks already applied, which means less preparation work for you during painting and a cleaner, more professional finish when you're done.
• Untrimmed design with unpunched holes — The bodyshell arrives untrimmed, allowing experienced builders to customise the trim lines and hole placements precisely to their specifications and chassis requirements, offering maximum flexibility for professional builds.
• Complete installation hardware — A dedicated parts bag includes all necessary screws, o-rings, body clips, LED stoppers, 3M double-sided tape, and aluminium tape required for mounting, assembly, and finishing touches on your RC touring car.
• Detailed instruction sheet included — Step-by-step assembly guidance is provided to help you understand the bodyshell components and correct installation procedures, making the build process straightforward even for those new to RC model bodies.
• Basic decal sheet supplied — A selection of basic decals is included in the package, though many builders choose to add custom decals or liveries to create their own unique design scheme for their Lancer EVO X build.
• 190mm width compatible — The 190mm width specification ensures this bodyshell fits perfectly on standard 1/10 scale touring car chassis that match this dimension, making it compatible with popular RC platforms throughout the UK and worldwide.
• 257mm wheelbase design — The long wheelbase of 257mm provides excellent chassis compatibility with numerous touring car platforms and contributes to realistic scale proportions that mirror the actual Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X dimensions.

Technical Performance

The Killerbody Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Clear Bodyshell is engineered as a premium-quality 1/10 scale body that works in harmony with a wide range of electric RC touring car chassis platforms. With its 257mm wheelbase and 190mm width, this body is specifically designed to fit standard 1/10 scale touring vehicles that match these specifications. The clear polycarbonate material provides excellent durability and impact resistance during racing and bashing, whilst allowing visible light to shine through for stunning night-time LED lighting effects when you equip the supplied LED light buckets. The untrimmed design gives builders absolute control over how the body interfaces with their specific chassis—you can trim and adjust the mounting points to achieve a perfect fit with platforms like the Tamiya TT01E, XV-02 PRO, and other popular touring car platforms available in the UK RC market. The comprehensive suite of plastic components—including chromed and black-finished parts—provides genuine scale authenticity, with detailed wing mirrors, functional-looking rear spoilers, realistic number plate holders, and authentic light buckets that elevate the overall appearance of your finished model. The pre-fitted overspray film and window masks minimise preparation work, whilst the included 3M double-sided tape and aluminium tape ensure secure, long-lasting component attachment. The supplied o-rings and body clips provide reliable fastening during high-speed runs and competitive racing, maintaining bodyshell integrity even during aggressive cornering and impacts typical of UK touring car events.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What chassis will this Killerbody Lancer EVO X bodyshell fit? — This bodyshell is compatible with any 1/10 scale touring car chassis that features a 190mm width and 257mm wheelbase. Confirmed compatible platforms include the Tamiya TT01E and Tamiya XV-02 PRO, both popular choices in the UK RC community. The untrimmed design allows you to customise the mounting points to fit your specific chassis perfectly.
• Does this body come ready to use straight away? — No, the Killerbody Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X is supplied as an unpainted clear shell. You will need to apply your chosen paint and colour scheme before the body is complete. However, the comprehensive accessories package and pre-fitted overspray film and window masks minimise preparation work during the painting process.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This bodyshell is better suited to intermediate to advanced builders who have experience with RC model assembly and painting. The untrimmed design requires some skill to customise the mounting points and punch holes correctly. Beginners might prefer ready-to-paint or pre-painted options, though this body offers excellent learning opportunities for those keen to develop their building skills.
• What is included in the accessories package? — The bodyshell comes with a comprehensive parts package including chromed plastic components (badges, mirror glass, exhaust pipes, light buckets), black plastic parts (mirrors, wipers, rear wing, number plates, rear spoiler), a basic decal sheet, hardware (screws, o-rings, body clips), and installation materials (3M tape, aluminium tape). This extensive package means you won't need to source many common body components separately.
• Why does this body come with overspray film and window masks? — The pre-fitted overspray film protects the clear polycarbonate shell during painting, preventing paint overspray from coating areas you want to remain transparent. The window masks protect the windows from paint and ensure clean, professional-looking glazed areas on your finished model. This saves significant preparation and masking time during the building process.
• Can I see the chassis through the clear body? — Yes, because the body is supplied as clear polycarbonate, you'll be able to see through the bodyshell to the chassis beneath. This creates an attractive appearance, especially if you paint the chassis in a contrasting colour or add LED lighting effects. Many builders choose to use this feature to showcase their chassis and internal components.
• How difficult is it to paint this bodyshell? — RC body painting requires some experience and proper equipment, but it's an achievable project for dedicated hobbyists. You'll need RC-compatible polycarbonate paint, proper masking materials, and a well-ventilated painting space. Many UK RC shops offer painting services if you prefer to have a professional handle this step.
• Is the Lancer EVO X body aerodynamically accurate? — Yes, Killerbody is renowned for creating scale-accurate RC model bodies, and the Lancer Evolution X captures the authentic styling and proportions of the real car. The included rear wing, spoiler, and other aerodynamic components reflect the legendary rally car's aggressive design.
