RC Body – Customise Your Ride with Realistic Detail and Tough Performance

Perfect for RC drift racers, hobby builders, and remote-control car enthusiasts

Transform your RC car into a show-stopping, race-ready machine with a premium RC Body — engineered for style, strength, and performance. Whether you’re upgrading your drift car, fine-tuning a touring setup, or simply giving your favourite RC chassis a bold new look, these bodies combine eye-catching realism with durable construction built to handle high-speed runs and tight corners.

Designed for Kiwi hobbyists who appreciate precision craftsmanship and customisation, RC bodies bring your RC vehicles to life. With detailed finishes, aerodynamic contours, and scale-accurate designs, every model captures the essence of full-sized racing and street performance in miniature perfection.

Description – RC Body

An RC Body (also known as a radio-controlled car shell) is a customisable outer shell that defines the look and aerodynamics of your RC car. Made from lightweight yet durable materials such as polycarbonate (Lexan), these bodies offer a perfect balance between flexibility and strength — essential for both drift racing and off-road competition.

Each RC body is precision-moulded for exact scale dimensions, fitting seamlessly over compatible chassis types such as 1/10, 1/12, or 1/8 scale vehicles. They’re designed not only for aesthetics but also for performance — enhancing stability, airflow, and cornering control.

Built for Realism and Performance

RC bodies often feature authentic design elements inspired by real-world cars — including sculpted body lines, air intakes, spoilers, diffusers, and even detailed light buckets. This gives every car a distinct personality, from classic JDM drift icons to modern supercars and rally beasts.

The high-impact polycarbonate shell resists cracks, scuffs, and impacts during collisions or drift runs. It’s light enough to keep handling agile, yet tough enough to survive demanding use on indoor and outdoor tracks. Many models also come pre-painted and pre-drilled for easy installation, while others arrive clear and uncut, giving you total creative freedom for painting and trimming.

Customisation Made Easy

The RC Body allows endless personalisation. You can paint, sticker, and modify the shell using custom graphics, sponsor decals, and metallic finishes — making your car uniquely yours. For competitive racers, body modifications can be fine-tuned for weight distribution, cooling, and aerodynamics.

Whether you’re running drift sessions in a car park, racing on an indoor track, or displaying your RC collection, the RC Body adds realism, personality, and protection to every ride.
