| > Hop-Up Option Parts > BodyShells | Whether you're just looking for a change of appearance, or if you've driven your car hard enough to need some replacement bodywork, we've got the look for you. If it's a saloon car that you're looking for the 190mm wide bodies will fit Tamiya TL01 & TT01 chassis directly, although you may need to adjust the mounts and post holes. For wider chassis cars we carry a range of 200mm bodies. Wheelbase tends to be standardised in most saloon cars. With monster truck bodies, we either carry the T-Maxx/Savage compitable bodies, or standard 1/10 scale bodies for smaller trucks.

Some of our bodyshells come pre-painted and with stickers, whilst others are supplied clear so that you can customize the paintwork and decal design and let your artistic tallent take over. These clear polycarbonate bodyshells should be painted on the inside and are usually supplied with a clear film on the ouside to prevent overspray, it's critical to remember to remove this clear film before applying any decals, yes it's been done before! To prepare a bodyshell before painting, clean it thouroughly with hot, soapy water and allow it to dry completely. Cut the body out to suit your car using a good quality pair of curved scissors and use a tapered reamer or drill to make the body post holes. Some people choose to cut the body out after painting, but this is a matter of choice. If spraying a solid colour; not a metalic or flourescent; it is advisable to lightly key the body with fine grade sandpaper to allow the paint to adhere to the body better. To mask a design on to body use good quality masking tape such as Tamiya Masking Tape. When you spray the body make sure you spray in a well ventilated warm area, spray multiple thin coats to the body allowing each coat to dry before applying another,(usually dries in about 15 -20 minutes) hold the spray can about 12 inches from the body and apply sweeping strokes of spray paint as concentrated spraying will cause the paint to run. Certain finishes will require you to back them up with a further colour to solidify the effect, for example flourescent and chrome colours will need to be backed by white and black respectivley. |

Please note that it is crucial to use specific Lexan, or Polycarbonate based paint for decorating these bodies as other bases of paint will crack or peel in use. We generally recommend Tamiya Polycarbonate Spray Paints, which give an excellent finish.
| Protoform 1/12 Amr Light weight Bodyshell (brca legal) (PL1611) The ever popular 1/12th On-Road class is definitely a favorite with R/C racers and enthusiasts the world over. It has continued to evolve and grow in recent years, much to the delight of many. PROTOform has a long history of designing winning bodies for the ultra quick and nimble 1/12th On-Road class � with numerous ROAR Nationals, US Indoor Champs, Snowbird Nationals as well as IFMAR WORLD�s titles on it�s resume. The all-new AMR-12 race body will prove to be a step forward, in appearance and speed.
On Oct 1st 2009 there will be new ERFA/BRCA body rules that will come into effect, so a 'clean sheet' type design was required by PROTOform in an effort to fully comply. The AMR-12 had been exhaustively tested in preparation for these rule changes and the body has actually shown an increase in performance over the 'old format' type race bodies. It�s made to fit all the popular 1/12th chassis with design considerations built in to accommodate the larger brushless motors and lead wires.
This semi-realistic body is pulled in .020 lexan and has a protective film on it. Ready to ship at this time, it�s just in time to start practicing for the IIC Race in Vegas and the US Indoor Champs in Cleveland. Don�t be left behind!
