Technical Performance

The Killer Body LR90 Hard Body Set represents the pinnacle of hard body shell engineering for 1/10-scale crawlers. Manufactured from premium ABS plastic, the main body shell combines strength with lightweight characteristics, ensuring your crawler maintains optimal weight distribution and handling characteristics across all terrain types. The 280mm wheelbase design has been carefully calculated to fit seamlessly onto popular 1/10-scale chassis platforms including Axial and RC4WD models, making this an exceptionally versatile option for UK RC enthusiasts. The body's overall dimensions of 420mm length and 205mm width create genuinely impressive scale proportions that capture the authentic Land Rover D90 character. The polycarbonate window system provides excellent optical clarity whilst maintaining strength, and the painted light lenses in red and orange deliver authentic appearance that photographs beautifully. The inclusion of black stainless steel components rather than plastic alternatives demonstrates Killer Body's commitment to quality — these metal parts maintain their appearance through countless hours of use and resist the weathering that softer plastics would suffer. The comprehensive interior detail system, complete with dashboard, seats, and decoration sets, transforms the interior appearance dramatically, creating a level of realism that stands out amongst other body shells in this category. The included decal sheet, window masks, and epoxy logo nameplate represent professional-grade finishing components, enabling builders to achieve competition-quality results.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the Killer Body LR90 Hard Body Set fit my Axial SCX10 II? — Yes, this body set is designed with a 280mm wheelbase and is specifically compatible with the Axial SCX10 II when set to the shortest wheelbase configuration. The SCX10 II is one of the most popular 1/10-scale crawlers in the UK market, and this body shell integrates seamlessly with this platform.
• What wheelbase is this body shell designed for? — The Killer Body LR90 is engineered for a 280mm wheelbase (measured centre-to-centre). This specification makes it compatible with all popular 1/10-scale crawler platforms available in the UK, including Axial and RC4WD models. Before purchasing, verify your chassis wheelbase matches or can be adjusted to 280mm.
• Will this body fit the Tamiya Defender? — Unfortunately, the Tamiya Defender chassis has a wheelbase of approximately 242mm, which is approximately 38mm shorter than this body shell's 280mm design. This makes the Killer Body LR90 unsuitable for Tamiya Defender builds, as the proportions would be significantly compromised.
• Will this body fit the RC4WD Gelande II? — The Killer Body LR90 will fit the RC4WD Gelande II provided your Gelande II chassis is configured with a 290mm wheelbase, as the body is designed around this specification. The Gelande II is a popular platform for D90 builds, and many UK builders successfully use this body on that chassis.
• Is the body painted or unpainted? — The body shell arrives in clear unpainted condition. This gives you complete freedom to paint your body in any colour scheme you prefer, whether that's authentic Land Rover factory colours or custom designs matching your personal preferences.
• What is included in the set? — This is a comprehensive hard body set that includes the main body shell, complete interior decoration system with dashboard and seats, bumpers, window and light components, detailed plastic parts (mirrors, steering wheel, wipers, etc.), chromed details, a full decal sheet, overspray masks, and all necessary hardware for assembly.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This body shell is suitable for builders with basic model assembly experience. Whilst the components are numerous, they represent a logical assembly sequence. The included instruction sheet provides guidance, and many UK RC retailers and forums offer assembly advice. If you're new to body assembly, allocating several hours and working methodically through the components will yield excellent results.
• How durable is the ABS plastic? — ABS plastic used in Killer Body shells is engineered specifically for RC use and offers excellent durability in normal crawling conditions. It provides good impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight. The black stainless steel radiator grille and chromed components are particularly durable and will maintain their appearance through extended use.
• Can I view and purchase this body shell at a physical store location? — RC Model Shop is a UK-based retailer with a physical store location where you can view products in person before purchasing.
