The KILLERBODY NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 TURBO GT-ES is supplied completely finished and ready for installation onto your 1/10 touring or drift chassis.

KILLERBODY is renowned for producing high-quality finished bodyshells that combine authentic scale proportions with practical engineering for real-world RC use. This Skyline 2000 Turbo GT-ES represents the brand's commitment to delivering complete, ready-to-install solutions that save builders time whilst maintaining exceptional visual quality. The suggested compatibility with many 1/10 touring and drift chassis makes this an accessible choice for experienced builders, though as always with bodyshells, chassis dimensions should be carefully checked before purchase to ensure perfect fitment on your specific platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the KILLERBODY NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 TURBO GT-ES suitable for beginners? — Yes, this finished bodyshell is excellent for builders at any experience level. The pre-painted finish and factory-assembled detail parts eliminate the most time-consuming and technically demanding aspects of body preparation, making it ideal for someone new to RC touring cars or drift builds. You simply need to install it onto a compatible chassis and you're ready to run. The only requirement is verifying that your chassis dimensions match the suggested 257mm wheelbase specification.
• What chassis is this body compatible with? — This shell is engineered for suggested compatibility with many 1/10 touring and drift chassis platforms. The 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width are standard 1/10 on-road dimensions, so it will fit most popular touring car platforms including Tamiya, HPI, Associated, Kyosho and similar brands. However, you must verify your specific chassis dimensions before purchasing, as slight variations between manufacturers can affect fitment. We recommend checking the wheelbase and overall width of your chassis against the body specifications.
• Do I need to paint this body? — No, the KILLERBODY NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 TURBO GT-ES arrives completely pre-painted in glossy black with professional-quality finish. This eliminates the need for paint preparation, masking, spraying, and curing time, allowing you to go directly from unboxing to installation. This is a significant time and effort saving compared to unpainted polycarbonate shells which require extensive paintwork before use.
• What makes this different from a basic unpainted body shell? — Unlike raw polycarbonate shells, this KILLERBODY product arrives fully finished with professional gloss black paint, factory-assembled light units and detail components, and pre-installed transparent windows. These features save dozens of hours of assembly and painting work whilst delivering superior visual quality. The factory assembly of light buckets, spoilers, mirrors, grille, bumpers and other details means you get a complete, detailed appearance rather than a bare shell requiring extensive customisation.
• Can I use this shell for drifting? — Yes, absolutely. The KILLERBODY NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 TURBO GT-ES is explicitly engineered for both touring and drift applications. The 1980s Skyline aesthetic is particularly popular in the drift RC community, and this finished shell provides authentic styling for drift builds. The factory-assembled details and professional paint finish make it equally suitable for competitive drifting or casual sliding sessions.
• What is included with the body? — The shell includes the finished bodyshell with integrated smoke windows, all factory-assembled detail components (light buckets, spoilers, mirrors, grille, bumpers, exhaust, door handles, wipers and more), transparent front and rear lights with buckets, and a basic sticker decal sheet for additional customisation.
• Is assembly required? — Minimal assembly is required. The body arrives with factory-assembled detail parts already installed. You will need to secure the body to your chassis using appropriate mounting posts or body clips (depending on your chassis design) and body adhesive or mounting tape. This typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on your specific chassis compatibility.
• What is the wheelbase of this body? — The KILLERBODY NISSAN SKYLINE 2000 TURBO GT-ES features a 257mm wheelbase, which is the standard 1/10 touring car dimension. This measurement should match your chassis wheelbase for optimal fitment and appearance. The body width is 195mm. Always verify these dimensions against your specific chassis before purchasing.
• Can I install LED lights in this body? — Yes, the pre-assembled transparent light buckets are designed to accommodate LED light installations. You can add optional LED units to the front lights, rear lights, and fog lights to enhance realism and enable night-time visibility on your finished build. This requires separate LED components not included in the box.
• Is the paint finish durable? — Yes, KILLERBODY applies professional-quality automotive-standard paint finish that is designed to withstand typical RC use including track running and occasional light impacts. The gloss black finish is robust and attractive, though it may show wear from extended use or crashes. Light cosmetic damage can typically be touched up with automotive touch-up paint.
