Technical Performance
The Killerbody Modified Hood & Front Fender Set KB48239 is engineered from high-quality polycarbonate material that delivers the perfect balance of durability, weight and aesthetic appeal for 1/10 electric monster truck applications. The transparent finish showcases premium material clarity that allows for exceptional paint adhesion and colour depth, making custom paint schemes truly stand out during daylight driving and competitive events. The hood and front fender components are precisely moulded to match OEM fitment specifications for 1/10 electric monster trucks, ensuring seamless integration with your existing chassis without gaps, misalignment or fitment issues. The supplied 3M double-sided tape is a professional-grade automotive adhesive that provides shear strength and vibration resistance suitable for the demands of high-performance RC bashing, meaning your bodywork will remain securely attached through aggressive cornering, jumps and high-speed runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this Killerbody hood and fender set suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The straightforward installation using 3M tape makes this kit perfect for beginners who want to customise their 1/10 electric monster truck without tackling complex modifications. The included instruction sheet guides you through each step, and no specialist tools or technical knowledge is required for installation.
- What does transparent body finish mean and why would I want it? — Transparent means the hood and fenders are produced in clear polycarbonate rather than solid colours. This gives you complete creative freedom to apply custom paint, primer, base coats and detailed graphics underneath the transparent shell, allowing you to create truly unique and personalised finishes that solid colour options cannot match.
- Will this hood and fender set fit my 1/10 electric monster truck? — Yes, this Killerbody KB48239 set is specifically engineered for 1/10 scale electric monster trucks, ensuring precise fitment and compatibility. However, always confirm with your truck's manufacturer that your specific model is compatible with Killerbody bodywork before purchase.
- How secure is the 3M double-sided tape adhesive? — The included 3M tape is professional-grade automotive adhesive designed for high-performance applications. It provides excellent shear strength and vibration resistance suitable for the demands of RC bashing, including aggressive cornering, jumps and high-speed driving. The hood and fenders will remain securely attached during normal use.
- Can I paint the transparent hood and fenders? — Yes, the transparent finish is specifically designed for custom painting. You can apply primer, base coat colours, metallic effects, camouflage patterns and detailed graphics directly onto the transparent surface, giving you complete artistic control over your truck's appearance.
- What preparation do I need before installing this body set? — The transparent hood and fenders should be cleaned thoroughly to remove any dust or debris before applying the 3M tape. Ensure your truck's body mounting points are clean and dry. The instruction sheet provides detailed guidance on preparation and installation.
- Is this a complete body replacement or just an upgrade? — This is a hood and front fender upgrade set, not a complete body replacement. If your truck's existing body is damaged beyond repair, you may need to purchase a complete body shell separately.
