Overview
Keep your RC bodyshell secure and ready for action with the Associated SC28 Body Clips, part number AS21422. These genuine replacement clips are an essential maintenance item for anyone running an Associated SC28 short course truck or similar RC model. Body clips are the small retaining pins that fasten your bodyshell to its mounting posts, and they are frustratingly easy to misplace during track runs, maintenance sessions or pit box setup. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or just discovering the world of RC short course racing, having spare body clips on hand is a sensible investment that keeps your model ready for action without unnecessary downtime.
This is an authentic Associated replacement part manufactured to the exact specifications required for SC28 models. The clips are quick to fit and remove during routine maintenance, making them ideal for pit box use where speed and reliability matter. Every RC hobbyist who runs regularly should keep at least one or two spare body clips in their spares box, as losing these small components during a race day can halt your progress entirely. At RC Model Shop, we stock genuine Associated spares and upgrades to help you maintain your vehicles in peak condition.
The Associated SC28 Body Clips represent practical, no-nonsense engineering that focuses on what matters: keeping your bodyshell firmly attached to your chassis during aggressive driving and competitive racing. These clips work across the entire Associated SC28 range and are an affordable way to ensure you always have replacements when you need them most.

Technical Performance
The Associated SC28 Body Clips are precision-engineered plastic retention components designed specifically for the SC28 short course truck platform. These clips function as the mechanical fasteners that secure your RC bodyshell to the chassis body posts, a critical connection that must remain secure during aggressive driving, high-speed passes and competitive racing. The clips are manufactured from durable material that resists repeated use without degradation, and their simple snap-fit design means they can be installed or removed in seconds without tools or special equipment. Body clips are one of the most frequently replaced spares in RC racing because they are small enough to drop and lose easily, particularly in busy pit areas or after dramatic crashes. Having multiple spares ensures you can always complete your setup without delays, whether you're preparing for a weekend bash with friends or competing in a serious race event. The Associated SC28 platform is widely recognised among short course truck enthusiasts in the UK for its competitive performance and excellent build quality, and these genuine replacement clips maintain that reputation for reliability.
