Key Features

• Factory-Finished Pre-Painted Design — This bodyshell arrives fully painted and ready to use, eliminating the need for spray equipment, masking, or painting expertise. You can mount it directly onto your chassis and start driving immediately, saving significant time compared to sourcing and painting unpainted bodies.
• Transparent Windows and Light Buckets — The body includes clear polycarbonate windows and pre-assembled transparent front and rear light buckets, giving the model genuine scale realism with finished lighting details that enhance its appearance.
• Pre-Applied Decals — Both basic and racing sticker decals are factory-applied to the body, providing a clean, professional finish with authentic Nismo branding and racing graphics without requiring manual decal application.
• Comprehensive Plastic Accessories Kit — The package includes a full suite of detailed plastic parts: front and rear light buckets, exhaust pipe, wiper blades, oil can cover, front and rear spoilers, sweep wing, antenna, wing mirrors, and rear wing. These components add significant visual detail and can be customised or adjusted to suit your preferences.
• Stainless Steel Air Intake Mesh — A premium stainless steel mesh grille is included for the air intake, adding durability and an authentic metallic detail that distinguishes this body from basic alternatives. This component resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through extended use.
• Red Trailer Ring — A functional red trailer ring is included, allowing compatibility with RC car setups that use towing or transport configurations.
• 1:10 Scale Long Wheelbase Design — The body is designed for 1:10 scale touring cars with a 257mm long wheelbase, making it compatible with popular chassis platforms used across the UK RC hobby community.
• Professional GT Styling — The bodyshell captures the aggressive stance and aerodynamic sophistication of the real Nissan GT-R Nismo R35, featuring sharp body lines, functional-looking aerodynamic elements, and a proportionate design that photographs well and turns heads on the track.

Technical Performance

The Killerbody Gainer Tanax GT-R Nismo R35 is engineered to 1:10 scale with a 195mm body width and 257mm long wheelbase specification, making it perfectly suited to 1:10 touring car chassis platforms widely used throughout the UK RC hobby. The body shell itself is constructed from durable polycarbonate or similar engineering plastic, offering excellent impact resistance and flexibility to absorb minor collisions without cracking. The pre-painted finish has been applied in controlled factory conditions, ensuring even coverage and professional colour matching that would be difficult to achieve with hand-spray methods. All transparent windows are precision-moulded and clear, providing excellent visibility for scale realism whilst maintaining structural integrity during use. The light buckets are pre-assembled and fitted, eliminating assembly time and potential misalignment issues. The inclusion of a stainless steel air intake mesh rather than plastic alternatives demonstrates a commitment to durability, as stainless steel resists corrosion from moisture, road salt, and cleaning solutions far better than painted plastic components. The comprehensive accessories package—including front and rear spoilers, sweep wing, rear wing, and detailed trim pieces—allows builders to fine-tune the bodyshell's appearance to match their personal preferences or specific racing regulations. Whether you're running this on a high-speed touring car chassis, a competitive racing setup, or a casual bashing rig, the structural integrity and professional finish of this body shell will maintain its appearance through extended use.
