Key Features
- Complete Two-Mirror Set — You receive two fully formed wing mirrors that mount directly to the sides of your RC SUV body, providing symmetrical scale detail that instantly elevates the realism of your model and creates an authentic vehicle appearance that enthusiasts will appreciate.
- Integrated LED Lighting System — Four orange LEDs measuring 3mm in diameter are included, allowing you to illuminate your mirrors for night-time runs, photography, or display purposes, adding a dynamic visual element that truly brings your RC model to life.
- Mirror Glass Components — Two precision mirror glass pieces are supplied, enabling you to create genuine reflective surfaces rather than flat painted details, which dramatically increases the scale authenticity and visual impact of your completed model.
- Professional Silver Mirror Decals — Two silver sticker decals are included to provide authentic mirror frame detailing, giving your wing mirrors a factory-finished appearance that matches the quality of full-size vehicle accessories.
- Straightforward Installation — Detailed instruction sheets walk you through the fitting process, ensuring that even if you're relatively new to RC customisation, you can achieve a professional result without requiring specialist tools or advanced modelling experience.
- Scale-Accurate Sizing — Each component is engineered to match the proportions of SUV-style RC bodies, ensuring visual harmony with your model's overall appearance and eliminating the amateur look that comes from poorly scaled accessories.
- Quality Killerbody Construction — Manufactured by Killerbody, a brand trusted across the RC community for attention to detail and durability, these mirrors are built to withstand the vibrations and impacts of active RC use whilst maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
Technical Performance
The Killerbody KB48098 Wing Mirror Set represents a thoughtfully designed approach to RC scale detailing. Built from durable materials engineered to resist the vibrations inherent in RC vehicle operation, the mirror housings are designed to maintain their fitted position even during aggressive off-road driving or high-speed circuits. The 3mm orange LEDs included in the set are standard components recognised throughout the RC hobby for their brightness and reliability, providing sufficient illumination for night-time photography or display use without drawing excessive current from your RC model's battery system. The mirror glass components are precision-cut to provide authentic reflective surfaces, whilst the silver adhesive decals are engineered to remain secure even during dynamic driving conditions. Installation is designed to be non-invasive, requiring no drilling or permanent modification to most SUV-style RC bodies, making this an ideal upgrade that doesn't compromise the structural integrity of your model. The complete assembly weighs minimally, ensuring it creates no noticeable impact on your vehicle's handling characteristics or battery runtime when properly installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these wing mirrors fit my RC SUV body? — The Killerbody KB48098 is specifically designed for SUV-style RC bodies. If you own an RC car UK based on an SUV platform such as a scale crawler or off-road truck, these mirrors should be compatible. We recommend checking your specific body type before ordering, or contact RC Model Shop for confirmation of compatibility with your particular model.
- How bright are the orange LEDs and will they drain my battery? — The four 3mm orange LEDs included in this set provide sufficient brightness for night-time display and photography without requiring excessive power draw. For an average RC car running a standard 2S or 3S LiPo battery, the LED current consumption is minimal and will not noticeably reduce your vehicle's runtime, though the exact impact depends on how frequently you illuminate the LEDs during use.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The Killerbody KB48098 is an excellent entry point into RC model customisation. The instruction sheet clearly guides you through installation, and no specialist tools or advanced modelling experience is required. Even someone new to the RC hobby can achieve professional results with this accessory set, making it perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their RC car without intimidation.
- Can I use these mirrors on a display model? — Yes, these mirrors are ideal for display models. The combination of realistic mirror glass, authentic proportions, and optional LED illumination makes them perfect for shelf display or show-quality builds. Whether your RC SUV is an active basher or a prized display piece, this set enhances visual appeal significantly.
- What does the silver mirror decal do? — The two silver adhesive stickers provide authentic frame detailing around your wing mirrors, giving them a factory-finished appearance with professional mirror-frame styling rather than simple plastic housings. This detail work is what separates a basic accessory from a scale-quality upgrade that enthusiasts recognise and appreciate.
- Are the mirror glass pieces fragile? — Whilst mirror glass is inherently more delicate than plastic, the 2mm thickness and secure mounting design protects against most impacts during normal RC use. For aggressive bashing or off-road driving, you should mount them carefully to minimise impact risk, though they're more robust than they initially appear.
