AS71126

Overview

The Associated T6.1/T6.2 Truck Body & Spoiler Clear (AS71126) is an official polycarbonate body shell designed specifically for Team Associated's legendary 1/10 scale electric off-road truck platforms. This clear body shell comes complete with a matching rear spoiler, making it the perfect replacement or upgrade option for racers and hobbyists running the T6.1 or T6.2 chassis. Whether you're looking to refresh your existing truck setup, experiment with different paint schemes, or need a replacement body after track damage, this genuine Associated body offers the authentic fit and finish that only an official manufacturer part can provide.

Built from quality polycarbonate material, this body shell maintains the aggressive and purposeful styling that has made Team Associated trucks iconic in the RC racing community across the UK and beyond. The clear plastic construction allows you to showcase your internal chassis components whilst providing excellent durability for competitive racing and weekend bashing alike. The included spoiler is engineered to complement the T6.1 and T6.2 body lines whilst providing functional aerodynamic benefit at speed, helping to maintain stability and traction through high-speed corners and technical sections of the track.

This is a pure option part – just the body and spoiler – meaning you'll need to paint it with suitable polycarbonate spray paint to match your desired colour scheme. For UK RC enthusiasts looking for a reliable, genuine replacement body for their Team Associated truck, this is the perfect choice. With proper care, this polycarbonate body shell will provide years of service across multiple seasons of competitive racing, casual track days, or backyard bashing.

Key Features

• Official Team Associated Design — This body and spoiler combination is manufactured directly by Team Associated, ensuring perfect fitment and aerodynamic compatibility with the T6.1 and T6.2 truck chassis platforms. Using genuine manufacturer parts protects your investment and guarantees quality.
• Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The transparent plastic material allows you to display your chassis, drivetrain, and suspension components, which is particularly appealing for those who take pride in their build quality. Clear bodies have become increasingly popular in the UK RC racing scene as they showcase internal engineering details.
• Integrated Rear Spoiler — The matching rear spoiler is included as part of this package, saving you the cost of purchasing separately. The spoiler helps manage aerodynamics at high speed and contributes to overall vehicle stability during competitive racing.
• Lightweight Design — Polycarbonate bodies are significantly lighter than alternative materials, which helps maintain the optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics that the T6.1 and T6.2 platforms are engineered for. This lightweight construction directly contributes to faster acceleration and improved cornering performance.
• Durable Impact Resistance — Polycarbonate offers excellent durability and impact resistance, making it suitable for both competitive racing environments and more aggressive bashing scenarios. Minor crashes and contact during racing will not easily crack or shatter this material.
• Customisable Through Painting — The clear shell comes unpainted, allowing you to apply your own custom colour scheme using polycarbonate-compatible spray paint. This gives you complete creative freedom to match your team colours, sponsors, or personal aesthetic preferences.
• Direct T6.1 and T6.2 Compatibility — This body has been tested and engineered specifically for the T6.1 Team Kit and the RC10T6.2 Team Kit, ensuring seamless fitment without modification. The mounting points, window openings, and overall dimensions are precisely matched to these platforms.
• Proven Racing Heritage — Associated bodies have won countless championships and major racing events around the world. By choosing this body, you're selecting the same equipment used by professional racing teams and top competitive drivers in the UK and internationally.

Technical Performance

The Associated T6.1/T6.2 truck body represents precision engineering in polycarbonate moulding. This is a straightforward but essential component – the body shell itself is a direct fit for both the T6.1 and T6.2 platforms, which share the same chassis footprint and mounting points. The clear polycarbonate material offers superior optical clarity compared to tinted alternatives, meaning your beautifully assembled internal components will be fully visible once painted with a transparent topcoat (if desired) or solid polycarbonate paint colours. The inclusion of the rear spoiler adds functional aerodynamic benefit; the spoiler profile has been designed to work in harmony with the T6.1/T6.2 body shape to manage airflow and maintain stability at high speeds across both indoor carpeted tracks and outdoor dirt racing surfaces. The spoiler mounting is integrated directly into the body moulding, eliminating the need for additional hardware. The overall body design reflects decades of Team Associated's racing experience and aerodynamic research, creating a shape that performs well in competitive off-road racing scenarios typical of UK club racing, ROAR events, and JConcepts championship series racing. Weight is minimised through efficient polycarbonate moulding techniques, keeping the overall vehicle weight down to maintain the performance characteristics the T6.1 and T6.2 platforms deliver. This body requires final assembly including window masking, painting with polycarbonate-compatible spray paint, and installation of the included spoiler before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this body on both the T6.1 and T6.2? — Yes, absolutely. The manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility with both the Team Associated T6.1 and the RC10T6.2 platforms. Both models share the same chassis dimensions and mounting points, so this body will fit perfectly on either truck without any modification required.
• Does this body come painted? — No, the body arrives as clear unpainted polycarbonate. This gives you complete control over the final colour scheme. You'll need to apply polycarbonate-compatible spray paint to achieve your desired look. Team Associated recommend using quality RC body paints designed specifically for polycarbonate, which provides the best adhesion and finish.
• Is this a complete replacement body or just the main shell? — This package includes the main body shell plus the matching rear spoiler. It does not include windows, decals, or mounting hardware – those are typically sourced separately or may be carried over from your previous body if compatible. The body reamer tool mentioned in the parts list helps you customise window openings and trim details to your exact preference.
• What type of paint should I use on this clear body? — You must use paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies. Standard automotive or hobby paints may not adhere properly or could damage the plastic. Many UK hobby shops stock brands like Tamiya Polycarbonate Spray Paint, ProLine Polycarbonate Spray Paint, and other dedicated RC body paints. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and apply in thin, even coats.
• Will this body work with aftermarket spoilers or just the included one? — The included spoiler is specifically designed to match this body's proportions and mounting points. Whilst you could potentially use aftermarket spoilers, they may not align perfectly with the body lines. For the most authentic appearance and best aerodynamic function, the included spoiler is recommended.
• How durable is polycarbonate compared to other body materials? — Polycarbonate is highly impact-resistant and flexible, making it excellent for both racing and bashing. It won't easily crack from minor collisions, though sustained impact or high-speed crashes into solid objects can eventually cause damage. For most UK club racing and recreational use, polycarbonate bodies offer excellent durability and typically outlast several seasons of regular use.
• Do I need any special tools to install this body? — Basic tools like a hobby knife or body reamer for trimming, masking tape for painting, and standard RC body mounting clips are all you'll need. Installation itself is straightforward – clean the body, trim as needed, paint it, allow it to cure fully, then mount it to your chassis using whatever mounting system your T6.1 or T6.2 frame uses (typically body clips or double-sided tape).
• Is this suitable for beginners? — If you're new to RC truck building, this body is straightforward to install and maintain. However, painting a polycarbonate body requires some care and patience to achieve professional results. If you're not confident in spray painting, consider having it professionally painted, or practice on test pieces first. The actual installation on your truck is very beginner-friendly.
• What makes this better than aftermarket or clone bodies? — This is the genuine Team Associated design, engineered specifically for the T6.1 and T6.2 by the same company that designed the chassis. Fit is guaranteed to be perfect, and the aerodynamic profile has been validated through competitive racing. Aftermarket or generic bodies may not fit as precisely or perform as well.
• Can I use this body on the older T6 or other Team Associated models? — The T6.1 and T6.2 share the same chassis platform and are specifically supported. Older T6 models or other Team Associated truck platforms (like the T5 or other variants) have different dimensions and may not be compatible. Always verify compatibility before purchase – check the model number of your truck against the confirmed compatible list.
