Overview
The Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Large Red (C-35121) are essential fasteners for 1/8 scale RC racing cars, designed to provide reliable body retention during high-speed competition and weekend bashing sessions. These premium-quality clips represent the kind of precision engineering that serious RC enthusiasts demand when building or maintaining their vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated racer competing at your local RC club, or a weekend basher looking to keep your body panel securely in place during aggressive driving, these clips deliver the performance and durability you need.
Body clips are one of the most frequently replaced components in any RC car UK setup, as they endure constant stress from body panel vibration and removal cycles. The Corally brand has built a reputation for manufacturing reliable RC accessories that withstand the demands of competitive racing and recreational driving alike. With ten clips included in each pack, you'll have replacements on hand when your existing clips wear out or get lost during maintenance.
These large-size body clips are engineered specifically for 1/8 scale RC cars, ensuring perfect fitment with the body posts on vehicles like buggies, truggy models, and onroad racing platforms. The distinctive 45-degree bent design sets these clips apart from basic fasteners, making installation quicker and body removal effortless—a feature that matters every time you need to access your chassis for maintenance or repairs.
Key Features
- 45-Degree Bent Design — The angled edge geometry ensures quick and easy installation onto body posts whilst also facilitating rapid removal when you need to access your chassis for cleaning, maintenance, or component adjustment, saving valuable time at the track or during practice sessions.
- Premium Spring Steel Construction — Manufactured from high-quality spring steel, these body clips provide consistent clamping force that holds your body panel securely in place even during intense acceleration, cornering, and impacts, whilst remaining flexible enough to prevent damage to plastic body posts.
- Large Size Specification — Sized specifically for 1/8 scale RC cars, these large clips offer superior grip compared to standard sizes, making them the correct choice for vehicles with larger body post diameters and ensuring compatibility with modern 1/8 buggies, truggys, and racing platforms.
- Red Anodised Finish — The vibrant red colour-anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance, ensuring these clips maintain their appearance and functionality through repeated use in various weather conditions across the UK and beyond.
- Bulk Pack of Ten — Supplied in a convenient blister pack containing ten clips, this quantity ensures you have spares readily available for replacement when clips wear out, get lost, or need to be swapped between different vehicles in your RC collection.
- Precision Engineering — Each clip is manufactured to exacting standards, guaranteeing consistent performance and reliable body retention across your entire fleet of 1/8 scale RC racing cars.
Technical Performance
The Corally Body Clips C-35121 represent the culmination of practical engineering designed specifically for competitive RC racing environments. Constructed from special spring steel, these fasteners deliver the precise balance between clamping force and flexibility that modern 1/8 scale RC cars demand. The 45-degree bent edge isn't merely a cosmetic detail—it's a functional engineering solution that reduces insertion friction and allows for single-handed clip removal, critical features when you're making quick adjustments between qualifying rounds or need to access your chassis urgently. With a length of 36mm and wire diameter of 1.50mm, these large-size clips are engineered to match the body post specifications of contemporary 1/8 scale buggies, truggys, and racing vehicles. The red anodised finish provides more than just visual impact; it acts as a protective barrier against corrosion from moisture, sweat, and track conditions. Whether you're running your 1/8 scale RC car at a competitive event, practising at your local track, or enjoying recreational bashing sessions, these clips will perform reliably through hundreds of installation and removal cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body clips suitable for 1/8 scale RC cars? — Yes, these Corally clips are specifically engineered for 1/8 scale RC racing cars. The large size specification makes them the correct choice for modern 1/8 buggies, truggys, and onroad racing platforms that utilise larger body posts. They are not suitable for smaller scales like 1/10 or 1/16.
- What makes the 45-degree bent design better than straight clips? — The angled edge significantly reduces friction during installation, allowing you to slide clips onto body posts more easily without risk of damaging the posts or the clip itself. The bend also means you can remove the clip with one hand by simply pulling at the correct angle, whereas straight clips often require two hands and more effort to dislodge.
- How many clips come in each pack? — Each pack contains ten individual clips, blister packed for convenient storage and transport. This quantity is ideal for keeping spare clips on hand as replacements when existing clips wear out or become lost.
- What material are these body clips made from? — These clips are manufactured from special spring steel, which provides the ideal combination of strength and flexibility. Spring steel maintains consistent clamping force whilst remaining flexible enough to prevent damage to plastic body posts during repeated installation and removal cycles.
- Will these clips fit my RC car? — These are large-size clips designed specifically for 1/8 scale RC cars. Before purchasing, confirm your vehicle is 1/8 scale; clips for smaller scales like 1/10 will not fit properly on 1/8 scale body posts.
- Do the red anodised clips provide any performance benefit? — The red anodised coating is primarily cosmetic, offering the distinctive red appearance favoured by many RC enthusiasts. The anodising also provides practical corrosion resistance, protecting the steel underneath from moisture and weathering, which extends clip lifespan.
- Are these clips suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Body clips are fundamental fasteners used on virtually every RC car, and these Corally clips are reliable, affordable, and easy to use. Beginners will quickly become familiar with the installation and removal process, and the 45-degree bent design actually makes them easier to handle than basic straight clips.
- How do I know when to replace my body clips? — Replace body clips when they no longer hold your body panel securely, when the metal becomes bent or deformed, or when they develop cracks. Over time and with repeated use, clips gradually lose their spring tension and will need replacement. Having spare clips on hand means you can replace worn clips immediately without interrupting your driving sessions.
