Key Features
- Premium Polycarbonate (Lexan) Construction — The windshield is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate material, commonly referred to as Lexan, which combines optical clarity with outstanding durability and impact resistance, ensuring your windscreen won't crack or cloud easily even during demanding RC crawling sessions.
- Crystal Clear Transparent Finish — Supplied completely clear, this windshield allows unobstructed visibility through the front of your scale model, maintaining authentic scale appearance whilst letting you see your vehicle's interior and any custom details you've added.
- Included Foam Pads for Mounting — The windshield comes pre-supplied with foam pads that provide secure mounting to your Tamiya Jeep Wrangler body whilst protecting the Lexan from direct contact with the plastic body, preventing stress marks and ensuring a clean, professional installation.
- Protective Film Applied — A clear protective film is factory-applied to the windshield surface, safeguarding the Lexan from scratches and damage during storage and initial handling, which you can simply peel away before installation for a pristine finish.
- Ready to Trim Design — The windshield is supplied slightly oversized and ready to trim to your exact specifications, giving you complete flexibility to achieve a perfect fit on your specific build and allowing customisation of window shapes if desired.
- Purpose-Designed for Tamiya Compatibility — This windshield is engineered specifically for the Tamiya Jeep Wrangler body (9335171), guaranteeing proper fitment and alignment with the body's windframe without modification to the body itself.
Technical Performance
The RC4WD Clear Lexan Windshield delivers the engineering quality and material science you'd expect from a dedicated RC4WD component. Constructed entirely from polycarbonate (Lexan), this windshield combines the optical properties of glass with the durability and impact resistance of advanced polymer engineering. The clear finish provides genuine scale realism, allowing full visibility of your model's interior whilst maintaining the authentic appearance of a genuine Jeep windshield. The inclusion of foam pads ensures proper cushioning between the windshield and the plastic body, distributing mounting pressure evenly and preventing stress concentrations that could lead to cracking. The polycarbonate material resists yellowing and clouding under normal use, maintaining clarity even after extended periods of outdoor RC driving. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC building experience – simply trim the windshield to final fit using Lexan scissors and use a body reamer where mounting holes are required. The protective film factory-applied to the surface protects against transport scratches and can be removed immediately before installation for a flawless finish. This is genuine, quality engineering from RC4WD, not a budget aftermarket alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Tamiya Jeep Wrangler body does this windshield fit? — This RC4WD Clear Lexan Windshield is designed specifically for the Tamiya Jeep Wrangler body part number 9335171, which is included as part of Tamiya Kit 84071. Always verify your body part number before purchase to ensure compatibility.
- Do I need to trim the windshield before installation? — Yes, the windshield is supplied ready to trim. You'll need Lexan scissors to cut it to your exact specifications, and you may need to use a body reamer to create or enlarge mounting holes where required. This flexibility allows you to customise the fit for your specific build.
- Is the windshield already clear, or does it need to be painted? — The windshield is supplied in a finished clear state – no painting is required. A protective film is factory-applied to protect the surface during storage and handling; simply peel this away before installation for a pristine, clear finish.
- What material is this windshield made from? — This windshield is constructed from premium polycarbonate, commonly known as Lexan. This material offers excellent optical clarity comparable to glass, combined with superior impact resistance and durability, making it ideal for RC use where accidental impacts are common.
- Can I use this windshield on other Tamiya Jeep models? — This windshield is specifically designed for the Tamiya Jeep Wrangler body 9335171. Other Tamiya Jeep models may have different body designs and windshield mounting points, so compatibility is not guaranteed. Check your body part number before purchasing.
- Does the windshield come with adhesive or mounting hardware? — The windshield includes foam pads for mounting. These pads provide cushioned mounting between the Lexan and your plastic body. You may also need your own adhesive or securing method depending on your specific installation preferences.
- How do I prevent the windshield from scratching? — A protective film is factory-applied and should remain on during storage. Always handle the windshield carefully, and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces. Once installed and protected by the body frame, the windshield is well-protected from damage during normal RC operation.
- Is this suitable for outdoor RC driving? — Absolutely. Polycarbonate (Lexan) is purpose-designed for outdoor applications. It resists UV degradation and won't yellow or cloud under normal outdoor driving conditions, maintaining its clear appearance season after season of RC crawling and bashing.
