Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Large Gold Anodised 1/8 Scale RC Car 10 Pieces C-35124

Overview

The Corally Body Clips 45 Bent Large Gold 10 Pcs (C-35124) are essential fastening components for 1/8 scale RC racing cars. These high-quality body clips are engineered to secure your RC car body firmly in place whilst allowing quick and easy removal when you need to access your model for maintenance, battery changes, or body swaps. Whether you're a competitive racer running your RC car at the track or a weekend enthusiast enjoying your 1/8 scale buggy or truggy, having a reliable set of body clips is crucial for safe and hassle-free operation. The gold anodised finish not only looks professional but also provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these clips suitable for both dry track conditions and damp UK weather.

Body clips are one of the most frequently replaced consumables in RC racing, as they experience constant stress during installation and removal cycles. The Corally 45° Bent Large clips are specifically designed for 1/8 scale models, offering the perfect balance between holding strength and ease of use. Unlike smaller clips that may struggle to secure larger body panels or standard clips that require excessive force to install and remove, these large-format clips make the job straightforward. They're an affordable way to keep spare clips on hand, ensuring you always have replacements ready without disrupting your RC car UK hobby sessions.

Supplied in a convenient blister pack containing 10 pieces, these body clips represent excellent value and ensure you have multiple spares available. For anyone serious about RC car racing or regular RC model operation, stocking quality body clips from a recognised manufacturer like Corally is simply good practice. These clips are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the rest of the Corally RC car range, guaranteeing consistent performance and reliability across every use.

Key Features

• 45° Bent Design — The angled edge of these body clips is precisely engineered at 45 degrees to provide smooth engagement with body posts, making both installation and quick removal effortless and reducing the risk of accidentally damaging your RC car body during clip removal.
• Large Size Format — Specifically designed for 1/8 scale RC racing cars, these large clips provide superior holding power compared to smaller alternatives, ensuring your body panel remains securely attached even during aggressive cornering and high-speed driving.
• Gold Anodised Finish — The premium gold colour coating not only delivers an attractive appearance that complements most RC car bodies, but also offers excellent corrosion resistance, protecting the steel underneath from rust and ensuring longevity even in humid UK conditions.
• Special Spring Steel Construction — These clips are manufactured from premium spring steel, a material specifically chosen for its ability to maintain consistent tension and spring-back characteristics through countless installation and removal cycles, ensuring they never lose their grip.
• Blister Pack of 10 — Receiving 10 clips in this pack means you have plenty of spares for your RC car collection, allowing you to outfit multiple vehicles or always keep replacements immediately available when clips wear out or get lost.
• Quick Release Convenience — The combination of the 45° bent edge and premium spring steel means you can remove your RC car body in seconds without requiring excessive force, making mid-race adjustments and maintenance far more practical.

Technical Performance

These Corally body clips represent genuine engineering excellence in fastener design for 1/8 scale RC racing cars. The choice of special spring steel provides the material with exceptional fatigue resistance, meaning it will maintain its holding force and spring characteristics through hundreds of installation and removal cycles without degrading. The 45° bent edge is not merely a cosmetic feature — it's a precisely engineered detail that creates a smooth, rolling motion as the clip engages with the body post, dramatically reducing friction and the force required for installation. This thoughtful design minimises the risk of accidentally cracking or stressing your RC car body panel, a particular concern with painted bodies or carbon fibre panels commonly found on competitive 1/8 scale buggies and trucks. The wire diameter of 1.50mm provides the optimal balance between rigidity (ensuring the clip maintains its shape and gripping force) and flexibility (allowing the clip to flex during installation without permanently deforming). With a length of 36mm, these large format clips are proportioned perfectly for securing body panels on 1/8 scale models, providing substantial gripping surface without interfering with wheels or suspension components. The gold anodised coating is applied through anodising, an electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the steel surface — this is far more durable than simple painted finishes and provides superior protection against corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and the various cleaning products used to maintain RC cars. Whether you're running your RC car at a dusty track, in wet grass, or storing it indoors, these clips will maintain their integrity and functionality for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these body clips suitable for all 1/8 scale RC cars? — These Corally clips are specifically designed for 1/8 scale RC racing cars and will work with virtually all models in this category, including 1/8 buggies, truggies, and short course trucks. The large size format is ideal for securing standard body panels on these models. Always check your RC car's body post design is compatible with standard body clips before purchasing.
• How often do body clips need to be replaced? — With proper care, quality spring steel clips like these can last through many hundreds of installation and removal cycles. However, if you use your RC car frequently or notice a clip is no longer gripping as firmly as it should, replacement is straightforward — simply remove the old clip and install a new one. Having spare clips on hand ensures you never need to miss a session due to a worn fastener.
• What makes the 45° bent edge special? — The 45° angle creates a smooth, rolling engagement with your body posts, significantly reducing the force required for installation and removal compared to clips with standard right-angle bends. This means less risk of damaging your body panel and faster turnaround times when adjusting or swapping bodies on your RC car.
• Why choose gold anodised over other finishes? — Gold anodised clips offer superior corrosion resistance compared to bare steel or painted alternatives, making them ideal for the variable UK climate. The anodising process creates a permanent protective layer that won't chip or wear off like paint, ensuring these clips remain protected and functional for their entire lifespan.
• Can I use these clips on smaller scale RC cars? — These are specifically designed for large format 1/8 scale applications. Smaller RC cars (1/10 scale or smaller) typically use smaller body clips. Using oversized clips on undersized vehicles may result in poor fitment or body post damage.
