Key Features

• Clear Bodyshell with Detailed Moulding — The untrimmed shell features comprehensive panel detail and authentic Skyline R34 proportions, capturing the car's distinctive wide-body styling and aggressive stance. The clear lexan construction allows light to pass through for a realistic appearance once painted.
• Clear Windows and Light Assemblies — Precision-moulded clear windows and light buckets are included, providing dedicated mounting points for LED lighting kits. This allows you to create authentic running lights, headlamps and brake light effects for your RC model, significantly enhancing visual impact during day and night running.
• Comprehensive Accessory Package — The complete parts set includes chromed plastic components (front and rear light buckets, brake light bucket, parking light bucket, and exhaust pipe), black plastic components (wing mirror, wiper blades, rear wing set), and lexan-moulded front and rear spoilers. This eliminates the need to source additional detail parts separately.
• 1/10 Scale Touring Car Compatibility — With a 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width, this body is specifically designed for 1/10 on-road touring and drift chassis platforms. It fits popular platforms including the FTX Banzai, Tamiya TT02 and other similarly-sized touring car chassis, making it accessible to a wide range of RC builders in the UK.
• Preparation for Customisation — Supplied untrimmed with no pre-drilled mounting holes, the bodyshell requires trimming and assembly as part of the building process. This gives you complete flexibility in final fitment to your specific chassis, and allows custom mounting hole placement to suit your individual setup requirements.
• Window Masks and Overspray Film Included — Professional-grade masking materials are supplied to protect clear windows and light assemblies during the painting process, ensuring clean paint lines and a professional finished appearance without paint contamination on transparent areas.
• Complete Hardware Pack — The parts bag includes all necessary fasteners (screws, o-rings, body clips), mounting hardware (3M double-sided tape, aluminium tape), and an LED stopper component for secure and reliable assembly. Nothing else needs to be sourced for final construction.
• Basic Decals Supplied — A selection of basic decals are included to add authentic branding and detail lines to your finished body, though you have the freedom to use these or create your own custom livery design.

Technical Performance

The Killer Body Nissan Skyline R34 is engineered from quality lexan materials using precision injection moulding techniques that deliver exceptional panel detail and structural rigidity. The bodyshell measures 257mm in wheelbase and 195mm in width, making it compatible with the vast majority of 1/10 scale on-road touring and drift platforms available to UK RC enthusiasts. The clear finish is achieved through injection moulding with lexan resin, providing excellent optical clarity for the windscreen and light bucket areas whilst maintaining sufficient structural strength for reliable road use. The body is untrimmed and supplied without pre-drilled mounting holes, allowing complete flexibility in final fitment to your chosen chassis platform. The inclusion of quality chromed plastic components (light buckets, exhaust pipe) alongside black plastic detail parts (mirror, wiper, rear wing) demonstrates the attention to detail throughout the complete package. The lexan-moulded spoilers are precision-fitted to the body profile, ensuring aerodynamic appearance and structural integrity during high-speed on-road running. The comprehensive hardware pack, including 3M double-sided tape and aluminium tape, ensures reliable mounting of all components without additional purchases required. Overall build quality reflects Killer Body's established reputation as a leading manufacturer of detailed RC body shells for touring cars, buggies and drift platforms across Europe and the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will LED lights fit into the light buckets on this Skyline R34 body? — Yes, the clear light buckets are specifically designed with dedicated mounting points for LED lighting kits. The included LED stopper component provides a mounting reference point for secure LED installation. A compatible LED kit such as the Killer Body KB48467 will integrate seamlessly with the light bucket design, allowing you to create authentic headlight, brake light and parking light effects once assembly is complete.
• What chassis will this R34 body fit? — The body is designed for 1/10 on-road touring and drift chassis with approximately 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width compatibility. Confirmed fitment examples include the FTX Banzai and Tamiya TT02 platforms, though fitment to other similar-sized touring car chassis is possible with minor modifications such as drilling custom mounting holes. Final fitment depends on your specific chassis setup, so we recommend measuring your wheelbase before purchase if you're uncertain.
• Is this body supplied ready to use or does it need preparation? — The body is supplied as a clear, untrimmed shell with no pre-drilled mounting holes. This means it requires painting, trimming around window and light bucket areas, and assembly before use. This approach gives you complete creative control over the final colour scheme and finish, but does require some preparation time and basic RC modelling skills. The included instruction sheet provides guidance for the assembly process.
• What painting supplies do I need for the Nissan Skyline R34 body? — You'll need lexan-specific RC car paint suitable for clear plastic bodyshells. Traditional acrylic paints will not adhere properly to lexan. The included overspray film and window masks should be used to protect the clear window areas and light buckets during painting. Lexan paint is widely available from UK RC retailers and hobby shops, with popular brands including Tamiya Lexan Paint, Killer Body paint and other specialist RC body paints.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This product is best suited to intermediate RC builders with some experience in RC car assembly and customisation. The untrimmed bodyshell requires careful trimming, painting and assembly skills. If you're new to RC, we recommend starting with a Ready to Run RC car to gain basic experience, then progressing to body shell customisation projects like this one. Alternatively, consider working with an experienced RC enthusiast who can guide you through the assembly process.
• How detailed are the moulded components compared to other R34 body shells? — The Killer Body R34 features comprehensive panel detail including door lines, bonnet vents, window frames and character lines that capture the aggressive styling of the original car. The inclusion of separately-moulded spoilers, mirrors, wipers and exhaust components provides authentic visual detail beyond basic bodyshell moulding. The quality of detail justifies the price point and competes favourably with other high-quality 1/10 touring car bodies available to UK buyers.
• What is the difference between this clear body and a pre-painted body shell? — The clear body offers complete creative freedom in colour choice and custom livery design, allowing you to create a truly personalised RC car. Pre-painted shells offer convenience but limited customisation options. The clear approach also allows integrated LED lighting effects through the transparent windows and light buckets, which is less effective with opaque painted shells. Most experienced RC builders prefer clear shells for the customisation possibilities.
• Do I need to drill mounting holes myself? — Yes, the body is supplied without pre-drilled mounting holes, requiring you to drill holes appropriate to your specific chassis mounting points. This flexibility allows fitment to multiple chassis designs but requires basic drilling skills and proper tools. Your chassis manual or instructions should indicate correct mounting hole positions. If you're uncertain about drilling, we recommend seeking help from an experienced RC builder at your local RC club.
