Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the RC12L Body Set Clear fit my existing RC12L chassis? — Yes, this genuine Team Associated part is specifically designated for the RC12L series, including the RC12L Graphite Kit. As an OEM body shell, it will fit perfectly without modification, assuming your chassis is in standard condition without significant damage to the mounting points.
• Do I need to paint this clear body before using it? — No, you can use it as-is in its clear transparent state if you prefer that look. However, many builders choose to paint it with polycarbonate-specific paints, add custom vinyl wraps, or apply their own decal designs to create a personalised appearance that matches their racing team colours or personal preferences.
• What happened to the decals that usually come with RC bodies? — This AS4485 shell is sold without decals included, which is intentional as it allows you complete creative freedom to apply your own custom graphics, sponsor decals, racing numbers, or team livery without being constrained by pre-applied designs.
• Why is this clear body better than aftermarket alternatives? — This is a genuine OEM Team Associated part rather than a third-party reproduction, meaning it's manufactured to exact specifications with the same quality standards as the original chassis. This ensures perfect fitment, longevity, and consistency with how Team Associated engineered your RC12L to perform.
• Can I use this body on other RC car platforms? — No, this clear shell is specifically designed and designated for the RC12L series only. Using it on other chassis may result in poor fitment, aerodynamic issues, or mounting problems, so it's essential to match it with the correct RC12L platform.
• Is this suitable for racing or bashing? — Yes, the polycarbonate construction is durable enough for both competitive racing and recreational bashing. It will protect your internal components whilst withstanding normal impacts and collisions that are part of regular RC car use.
• Where can I buy custom decals to fit this body? — Many RC hobby shops throughout the UK, including RC Model Shop, stock decal sheets compatible with RC12L bodies. You can also design custom decals through online printing services and apply them to the clear shell for a truly unique appearance.
