Key Features

• Super-Detailed Lexan Construction — The body is moulded from high-quality clear lexan plastic, offering exceptional detail throughout the design with crisp lines, authentic panel definitions, and realistic proportions that capture the essence of the full-size Lexus RC F sports car, making your finished model look genuinely impressive on track.
• Clear Unpainted Shell for Custom Finishing — Unlike pre-painted bodies that limit your colour choices, this clear shell gives you complete creative freedom to paint it in any colour scheme you prefer, whether that's the iconic Lexus F red, custom metallic finishes, or a completely unique design that reflects your personal style.
• Perfect Dimensions for On-Road Touring Cars — With a 195mm width and 257mm wheelbase specification, this body is engineered specifically for 1/10 scale on-road and touring car builds, ensuring perfect fitment and proportions on chassis designed for these measurements, which is critical for both aesthetics and aerodynamic performance on smooth surfaces.
• Untrimmed with No Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes — This design approach gives you complete control over where and how you mount the body on your chassis, allowing you to adapt it to your specific frame geometry, adjust ground clearance, and ensure perfect alignment for your custom build without being restricted by pre-determined mounting points.
• Comprehensive Components Package Included — The shell arrives with everything needed to complete your build except paint, including chromed light buckets and exhaust pipes for authentic detailing, black plastic wing mirrors and antenna, a basic decal sheet, overspray film and window masks, body clips, screws, O-rings, LED stoppers, 3M double-sided tape and aluminium tape, plus a complete instruction sheet to guide your assembly.
• Premium Plastic Detail Parts — The kit includes full sets of chromed plastic components (front and rear light buckets, foglight bucket, and exhaust pipe) plus black plastic parts (wing mirrors, wiper blade, shark fin antenna, and headlight lamp base) that add authentic detailing without requiring separate purchases, saving you time and ensuring everything fits perfectly together.
• Professional Masking and Finishing Accessories — Included overspray film and window mask sets help you protect areas during painting, whilst the 3M double-sided tape and aluminium tape provide professional-grade adhesive solutions for secure mounting and weatherproofing, demonstrating that this kit is designed with experienced builders in mind who appreciate quality finishing materials.
• Lexan Moulded Body Parts Set — The lexan moulded body parts included ensure that all structural components match the design intent and materials of the main shell, maintaining consistency throughout your build and ensuring that painted surfaces will have uniform colour and finish quality across all body panels.

Technical Performance

This KILLERBODY LEXUS RC F 195MM body shell is engineered for 1/10 scale on-road and touring car applications where precise dimensions and authentic styling are paramount. The 195mm width specification fits standard 1/10 touring car chassis, while the 257mm wheelbase measurement ensures proper weight distribution and handling characteristics when mounted on compatible frames. The clear lexan construction offers durability typical of professional RC bodyshells, providing impact resistance whilst allowing light to pass through for internal visibility. The body is supplied completely untrimmed with no mounting holes pre-drilled, which is a feature that separates genuine builders' shells from consumer-ready options—this approach demands that you have proper tools (hobby knife or bodyshell trimmer) and reasonable mechanical skill to complete the fitting process, but rewards you with a perfectly customised installation on your specific chassis. The inclusion of masking film and window masks indicates professional finishing standards, as does the provision of premium 3M double-sided tape and aluminium tape in the parts bag. When painted and assembled correctly, this shell will provide excellent visual appeal and the authentic Lexus RC F styling will make your RC car turn heads at the track or car park. The super-detailed moulding means that panel lines, air vents, and body curves remain sharp and defined, which translates to impressive appearance both in photographs and when viewed in person. This is a product designed for builders who take their RC cars seriously and understand that investing time in proper assembly and painting will result in a finished model that looks genuinely premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this Killer Body shell suitable for beginners in RC car building? — This bodyshell is best suited to builders with moderate to advanced experience in RC car assembly. It requires you to trim the shell, drill mounting holes, and apply professional painting and finishing techniques. If you're new to RC cars and want something quicker to build, a pre-painted body or ready-to-run RC car might be more appropriate. However, if you're an intermediate builder looking to expand your skills and create a truly custom finished model, this is an excellent learning opportunity that will teach you valuable bodyshell finishing techniques.
• What chassis does this body fit? — This shell is designed for 1/10 scale on-road and touring car builds with a 257mm wheelbase and requiring 195mm body width. Common compatible chassis include Tamiya TT-02 series, HPI Racing platforms, and similar 1/10 touring car frames from major manufacturers. You must verify that your specific chassis falls within these specifications before purchasing. The untrimmed, unmounted design means you'll need to carefully fit it to your frame and potentially drill custom mounting holes to ensure perfect alignment.
• Do I need special paint for this lexan bodyshell? — Yes, absolutely. Regular model paint or automotive paint will not adhere properly to polycarbonate lexan. You must use paint specifically formulated for RC lexan bodies, available from most RC hobby retailers. These paints are designed to cure properly on plastic without peeling or flaking. Apply primer first for best adhesion, then colour coats, and finish with a protective clear coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats as specified by the paint manufacturer.
• What tools do I need to trim and finish this bodyshell? — Essential tools include a sharp hobby knife or dedicated bodyshell trimmer for cutting away excess plastic, fine-grit sandpaper for smoothing edges, and masking tape for protecting areas during painting. The included overspray film and window masks will help significantly with your painting preparation. A cutting mat and straightedge will ensure clean, accurate cuts around windows and body edges. Many builders also use specialised bodyshell sanding sticks or files to achieve professional results.
• What is the difference between this clear shell and pre-painted alternatives? — This clear Killer Body shell offers complete customisation freedom—you choose the exact paint colours, finishes, and decoration schemes. Pre-painted shells limit you to fixed colour options and may not match the colour scheme you envision for your build. However, clear shells require more time, skill, and investment in quality paint and tools to complete properly. The advantage is that once finished, your shell will be uniquely yours and potentially more impressive than mass-produced pre-painted options.
• Are the plastic detail parts (mirrors, antenna, lights) included or sold separately? — All detail parts are included in the kit. You receive complete sets of chromed plastic parts (light buckets, foglight bucket, exhaust pipe) and black plastic parts (mirrors, wiper, antenna, headlight base) ready to install. This comprehensive inclusion means you won't need to purchase additional components separately, saving time and ensuring perfect compatibility throughout your build.
• How long does it typically take to complete this bodyshell? — Completion time varies significantly based on your experience level and the complexity of your paint scheme. Basic single-colour finishes with simple decals can be completed in 4-6 hours of active work spread over several days (accounting for drying time). Complex custom paint jobs, multiple colours, metallic finishes, or detailed hand-painted designs can take 12-20+ hours. Plan for multiple days minimum to allow adequate drying between primer, colour coats, and clear coat applications.
• Can I use this body on a carpet or dirt track, or is it only for smooth surfaces? — This shell is specifically designed for on-road and touring car builds, which are typically used on smooth surfaces like asphalt, concrete, or dedicated carpet tracks. The aerodynamic design and dimensions are optimised for these environments. Using it on rough terrain or off-road surfaces may result in damage to the shell and poor handling. For off-road RC racing, you would need a different body shell designed specifically for those applications.
• What happens if I damage the clear shell during trimming or assembly? — Minor cracks or damage to the clear lexan can sometimes be repaired using specialised plastic adhesives or clear epoxy designed for lexan. However, major cracks or breaks are difficult to repair invisibly. This is why careful, measured trimming with sharp tools and steady hands is essential. Practise your cutting technique on scrap plastic before working on the actual shell if you're uncertain. Many experienced builders recommend cutting conservatively—you can always remove more plastic, but you cannot add it back.
