RC Car Shell – Transform Your RC with Style, Strength, and Performance

Perfect for RC enthusiasts, racers, and hobbyists who demand durability and custom flair

Give your remote-control vehicle a new identity with the RC Car Shell — the perfect blend of protection, design, and aerodynamics. Built for performance and visual impact, this shell enhances your RC car’s look while shielding it from scrapes, dust, and collision damage. Whether you’re racing on dirt tracks, drifting on asphalt, or showing off your customised build, the right shell elevates both function and style.

Designed for New Zealand RC hobbyists, this high-quality shell offers premium fitment, strong materials, and easy modification. From sleek racing bodies to off-road truck shells, it’s made to handle the demands of Kiwi RC adventures — rugged, fast, and fun.

Description – RC Car Shell

An RC Car Shell, also called a body shell or car body, is the outer casing that defines your remote-control vehicle’s appearance and aerodynamics. Made from lightweight, durable materials such as polycarbonate (Lexan) or ABS plastic, it serves as both armour and artwork.

Engineered for easy installation and compatibility, RC car shells come in various scales — 1/10, 1/8, 1/12, or 1/24 — and designs that range from realistic sports cars and muscle cars to aggressive monster trucks and drifters. They can be painted, stickered, or modified to create a truly personalised look that reflects your racing style.

Durable Construction

RC shells are built to endure high-speed crashes, tumbles, and terrain challenges. Polycarbonate variants are particularly favoured for their flexibility, impact resistance, and light weight — crucial for competitive RC racing where every gram counts.

Aerodynamic and Functional

Beyond looks, an RC car shell plays a key role in reducing air drag, improving handling, and protecting internal electronics. Vents, scoops, and contours are carefully designed to optimise air flow while maintaining realistic proportions.

Customisable Design

Each shell is a blank canvas for creativity. Paint, decals, and accessories can transform a standard RC into a unique showpiece. Popular colour techniques include airbrushing, masking, and layering — allowing you to achieve professional-level designs at home.

For New Zealand racers and hobbyists, these shells balance strength with flexibility, offering exceptional durability for outdoor tracks, beach runs, and backyard racing.

No matter the application, every RC Car Shell offers the same promise — durability, precision, and creative freedom.

Maintenance and Customisation Tips

• Clean Regularly: After each run, gently wipe down your shell to remove dust, mud, or residue to preserve clarity and colour.
  
• Use Mild Paints: For clear shells, apply polycarbonate-safe paints to prevent cracking or peeling.
  
• Heat-Cut and Trim: Use a hobby knife or lexan scissors for accurate trimming around wheel wells or mounts.
  
• Apply Decals Carefully: Smooth out bubbles with a soft cloth or squeegee for a professional finish.
  
• Store Properly: Keep your shells away from direct heat or heavy objects to prevent deformation.
  

These small care steps will ensure your shell stays looking pristine and race-ready for years.
