This material choice means the shell can withstand the rigours of regular use whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain your vehicle's performance characteristics.
- Perfect Compatibility — This bodyshell is specifically engineered to fit the UD1610PRO and UD1610S models perfectly. Using a genuine UDI replacement part ensures precise fitment, proper alignment and the elimination of fitment issues that can occur with incompatible aftermarket alternatives.
- Solid Black Finish — The clean, elegant black colour provides a professional appearance straight from the box. The matte black polycarbonate finish resists gloss wear and maintains its appearance through regular use, offering a timeless aesthetic that suits both standard and customised setups.
- Easy Installation — As a direct OEM replacement part, this bodyshell installs without requiring modifications to your chassis or suspension components. The mounting points align perfectly with your vehicle's existing structure, making replacement a straightforward process that can be completed in minutes.

Whether you wish to apply custom decals, paint designs or protective film, the polycarbonate construction accepts these modifications beautifully, allowing you to create a truly bespoke RC car that reflects your personal style.
- Genuine OEM Part — This is an authentic UDI replacement component, not a third-party imitation. Purchasing genuine parts ensures you're receiving products built to the same exacting standards as your original vehicle, with proper quality control and manufacturing consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which UDI models does this body shell fit? — This polycarbonate body shell is designed specifically for the UD1610PRO and UD1610S models. These are the only vehicles it will fit properly. If you own a different UDIRC model such as the UD1611 or UD1203 range, those require their own specific bodyshell variants, which are available separately.
- Is this a genuine UDI part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM replacement part from UDIRC. It carries the official part number P16-001C and meets the same quality standards and specifications as the original bodyshell that comes with new UD1610PRO and UD1610S vehicles.
- Can I paint or decal this body shell? — Absolutely. The polycarbonate material accepts paint, decals and custom graphics beautifully. Many RC enthusiasts use these bodyshells as a blank canvas for personalisation. If you plan to paint it, ensure you use paints compatible with polycarbonate to achieve the best results and longevity.
- How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body shell materials? — Polycarbonate is an excellent choice for RC body shells because it offers superior impact resistance compared to many alternatives. It resists shattering even under significant impacts, making it ideal for bashers and drivers who regularly encounter obstacles or rough terrain. The material also resists UV degradation, meaning it won't become brittle or discoloured from extended sun exposure.
- How long will this body shell last? — With proper care, a polycarbonate bodyshell can last many years and thousands of kilometres of driving. The material doesn't degrade quickly, and barring significant collision damage, it will maintain its structural integrity indefinitely. The black finish is particularly resistant to showing wear, maintaining a professional appearance through regular use.
- What should I do if my body shell cracks? — Minor cracks in polycarbonate can sometimes be repaired using specialist adhesives designed for plastic materials, though replacement is often the most practical solution given the affordable price point of this bodyshell. Significant structural damage typically warrants replacement to maintain your vehicle's performance and appearance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — If you own a UD1610PRO or UD1610S and need a replacement bodyshell, this is the ideal choice regardless of your experience level. Installation requires no special skills or tools beyond what you likely already have. UDIRC ready to run vehicles are designed for drivers of all levels, and genuine replacement parts support that philosophy by being accessible and easy to use.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
