Technical Performance
The Killer Body Alfa Romeo 2000 GTAm bodyshell is engineered from high-quality polycarbonate material, chosen specifically for its strength, durability and optical clarity. The clear finish allows light to pass through, making it ideal for showcasing detailed chassis work or integrating LED lighting systems for evening racing. The 257mm long wheelbase and 195mm width specifications are optimised for 1/10 on-road touring car platforms, ensuring the proportions remain true to the real car whilst fitting seamlessly onto competition and hobby-grade chassis. The untrimmed design means the bodyshell arrives in raw form, allowing experienced builders to carefully trim and fit it to their specific chassis, adjusting for body post positions and width requirements as needed. The included light buckets, clear lexan lenses and LED stopper facilitate integration of modern LED lighting systems, which are popular in UK RC racing communities. The basic decal sheet provides essential Alfa Romeo branding, though the clear finish is equally striking with custom race liveries. This bodyshell suits builders with intermediate to advanced skills who understand chassis setup, body fitting and painting techniques. The comprehensive hardware package – including premium 3M double-sided tape and aluminium tape – supports professional-grade assembly and ensures components remain securely fastened during aggressive cornering and high-speed racing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What chassis does the Killer Body Alfa Romeo 2000 GTAm fit? — This bodyshell is engineered for 1/10 on-road touring car chassis with a 257mm long wheelbase and approximately 195mm width. Before purchasing, carefully measure your chassis wheelbase and body post positions to ensure compatibility. The untrimmed design provides flexibility for minor adjustments, but chassis specifications must be within the stated dimensions for proper fitment.
- Do I need to paint this bodyshell? — Yes, the Killer Body Alfa Romeo 2000 GTAm is supplied in clear, unpainted polycarbonate finish. You will need to apply primer and paint to complete the bodyshell. The included overspray film and pre-cut window masks make the painting process significantly easier by protecting windows and other components from paint overspray.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC car building? — This bodyshell is best suited to intermediate and advanced builders who have experience with chassis setup, bodyshell trimming and painting polycarbonate bodies. Beginners may find the untrimmed nature and painting requirement challenging, though the detailed instruction sheet and comprehensive hardware package provide excellent support through the assembly process. If you're new to RC cars, consider starting with a ready-to-run RC car UK package before tackling a bodyshell build project.
- What painting and finishing advice do you have? — Begin by carefully studying the instruction sheet included in the box. The overspray film and pre-cut window masks should be applied before any painting begins to protect transparent areas. Use polycarbonate-compatible primers and paints, available from specialist RC retailers. Apply paint in thin, even coats to avoid runs or heavy buildup. The clear lexan construction allows light to pass through, so paint finishes may appear slightly different than on opaque bodyshells – test your colour choices on a small section first if possible.
- Can I modify the bodyshell for my specific chassis? — Yes, the untrimmed design explicitly allows for customisation. You will need to carefully trim the bodyshell using appropriate cutting tools and adjust body post positions as needed for your specific chassis setup. Ensure body posts align correctly before final fastening, and test fit before committing to permanent modifications. If you're unsure about modifications, contact our expert team at RC Model Shop for guidance.
- What is included for lighting integration? — The kit includes clear lexan-moulded lenses for both front and rear lights and an LED stopper component in the parts bag. These support integration of standard RC LED lighting systems. You will need to source compatible LED light buckets or units separately if you wish to add functional lighting to your finished bodyshell.
- How do I ensure proper fitment to my chassis? — Before purchasing, measure your chassis wheelbase (should be 257mm) and width (approximately 195mm). Confirm the location of your body post mounting points and verify they align with the untrimmed bodyshell. Once you receive the bodyshell, fit it carefully without fastening initially, adjusting trim lines and post positions as necessary. Only once perfect fitment is confirmed should you permanently assemble the bodyshell with clips and fasteners.
- What makes the Killer Body brand stand out? — Killer Body bodyshells are manufactured to exceptional standards with excellent panel detail, accurate proportions and comprehensive hardware packages that rival much more expensive kits. The Alfa Romeo 2000 GTAm design captures the authentic character of this legendary touring car, making it a top choice for UK RC touring car enthusiasts who demand quality and authenticity.
