Overview
The Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Large Purple 10 Pcs (C-35123) are essential fasteners designed specifically for 1/8 scale RC racing cars. Whether you are competing in organised RC car races across the UK or enjoying casual bashing sessions with your RC model, these body clips provide the secure fastening your vehicle needs whilst remaining quick and easy to remove when you need to access your chassis. These high-quality clips are manufactured from special spring steel, ensuring they maintain their grip and won't lose tension over repeated use—a critical requirement for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability in every component.
Body clips are one of those often-overlooked components that make a huge difference to the RC car ownership experience. Rather than struggling with bolts and tools every time you want to remove your body shell, quality body clips like these allow you to pop your body off in seconds for maintenance, battery swaps, or repairs. The purple anodised colour finish not only looks great on your RC car but also makes these clips instantly recognisable, meaning you'll never mix them up with clips from other vehicles. Available in a convenient 10-piece blister pack, you'll have spares on hand when you need them most.
If you are shopping for RC parts in the UK or looking to upgrade your existing RC car collection, the Corally Body Clips represent excellent value for money. These are genuine Team Corally components, manufactured to the same high standards that professional RC racers rely upon. The 45-degree bent design is specifically engineered to make installation and removal effortless, whilst the large size is optimised for 1/8 scale racing vehicles, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance every single time.
Key Features
- 45-Degree Bent Design — The distinctive bent edge is not simply a cosmetic choice; it serves a practical purpose by providing a natural grip point that makes installation quick and intuitive, and removal equally hassle-free. This thoughtful engineering means you spend less time fumbling with tools and more time enjoying your RC car.
- Special Spring Steel Construction — These clips are manufactured from premium spring steel, a material chosen specifically for its superior elasticity and durability. Spring steel maintains consistent tension through hundreds of use cycles, ensuring your body shell stays firmly secured even during intense racing or aggressive bashing, without the clips becoming loose or losing their grip over time.
- Large Size for 1/8 Scale Models — Specifically designed for 1/8 scale RC racing cars, these large body clips provide ample contact surface area and leverage, resulting in a secure hold that won't slip during cornering, acceleration, or rough terrain driving. The sizing is critical; undersized clips would be ineffective, whilst properly sized large clips deliver reliable performance.
- Purple Anodised Colour Finish — Beyond aesthetics, the bright purple anodised coating serves a practical purpose by making these clips instantly visible and identifiable. The anodised finish also provides corrosion resistance, protecting the steel underneath from rust and degradation, which is particularly important if you use your RC car in wet British weather conditions.
- 10-Piece Blister Pack — Rather than receiving just two clips (one spare), you get a full 10-piece set. This generous quantity ensures you always have spares available for replacement, lost clips, or if you decide to use these on multiple vehicles. Blister packaging protects each clip during storage and transit, preventing damage.
- Trusted Team Corally Brand — Corally is a recognised and respected manufacturer in the RC hobby community, known for producing components that serious racers and dedicated enthusiasts trust. When you purchase Corally parts, you are buying components engineered with competition in mind.
Technical Performance
These body clips exemplify the engineering precision expected in professional-grade RC components. The 45-degree bent configuration is not a random angle but rather a carefully calculated geometry that balances ease of installation against holding strength. At just 1.50mm wire diameter and 36mm in length, these clips deliver optimal leverage and grip without adding unnecessary weight to your vehicle. Weight is a critical consideration in RC racing, where every gram affects acceleration, braking performance, and handling characteristics. The spring steel material maintains consistent tension characteristics across the temperature range you might encounter in the UK, from cold winter morning tracks to heated summer race days. The anodised surface treatment goes beyond visual appeal; it creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion and ensures the clips maintain their performance characteristics even when exposed to moisture, salt spray from wet grass, or other environmental factors. For 1/8 scale RC racing cars, these large clips provide the perfect balance of holding power and accessibility. The engineering behind these clips draws on decades of RC racing experience, and they are used by competitors in national and international racing championships. Whether you are setting up a new 1/8 scale buggy or truggy, maintaining an existing race car, or simply need reliable spares, these clips deliver professional-quality performance at an accessible price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body clips suitable for my 1/8 scale RC buggy or truggy? — Yes, these clips are specifically designed for 1/8 scale RC racing cars and are therefore ideal for both buggies and truggies in this scale. The large size and 45-degree bent design make them the correct choice for 1/8 scale vehicles. If you own multiple 1/8 scale models, you may want to keep the spare clips on hand for quick body removal across your fleet.
- Why should I choose these clips instead of using bolts and tools? — Body clips offer significant convenience advantages over traditional bolted fasteners. With these Corally clips, you can remove your RC car body in literally seconds without requiring any tools whatsoever. This rapid access is invaluable when you need to check battery connections between races, replace a damaged battery, perform quick repairs, or adjust suspension settings. During a race meeting, every second counts, and these clips give you that advantage.
- Will these clips fit my existing RC car body? — These are large-size clips designed for 1/8 scale RC racing cars, which is the most common mounting standard for this scale. Most 1/8 scale bodies, whether manufactured by Corally or other reputable brands, feature mounting points designed for large body clips. However, if you own a vehicle with unusual body mounting provisions, we recommend checking your vehicle's documentation or contacting our team before ordering.
- How many clips do I actually need for my RC car? — Most 1/8 scale RC cars require between two and four body clips for secure fastening, depending on body design and your driving style. The 10-piece pack therefore provides at least two complete sets, meaning you can equip multiple vehicles or maintain a healthy supply of spares. Having spares is essential because clips can occasionally be lost during racing, damaged if tightened excessively, or misplaced in workshop chaos.
- What is the difference between the 45-degree bent design and straight clips? — The 45-degree bend is specifically engineered to improve usability. The angled design creates a natural grip point that your fingers naturally locate, making installation and removal intuitive and quick. The bend also improves the leverage available when removing clips, preventing the frustration of straight clips that require excessive finger pressure or make your hand sore. The bent design is the professional standard for a reason.
- Are these clips durable enough for competitive racing? — Absolutely. These clips are manufactured from special spring steel and are used by competitive RC racers across the UK and Europe. The spring steel construction ensures they maintain their grip tension through hundreds of installation and removal cycles without permanent deformation. Many serious racers keep multiple sets because they trust the reliability of Corally components in competition environments where equipment failure is simply not an option.
- Can I use these clips on other scales of RC vehicles? — These clips are specifically sized for 1/8 scale vehicles and would not be appropriate for 1/10 scale (where medium clips are standard) or 1/6 scale (where extra-large clips are used). Using incorrectly sized clips could result in poor body security, potential damage to body mounting points, or difficulty achieving proper fastening. Always match clip size to your vehicle scale.
