| > 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 1/10 Mazda Speed 6 (190mm) Clear Polycarbonate Bodyshell. (PL1487) Without a doubt, there's been one particular body style that has been used in winning more RC sedan races than any other racebody since its debut in Thailand exactly 3 years ago, where Barry Baker won the Reedy Race of Asia.
Since then Marc Rheinard won the 2004 IFMAR Worlds, Adrian Bertin won the IFMAR 200mm Gas Sedan Worlds, and this year Andy Moore bagged the 2006 IFMAR Worlds - all using the PROTOform Mazda 6. There's been no major rubber-tire sedan race in the world that the Mazda 6 has not been a part of the winning combination, whether it be a ROAR, EFRA, Orion, Reedy, IIC, Snowbird's, or DHI Cup event. Body is supplied clear, picture is for illustration purposes only The new body features 2 lower trim lines: one for the slightly taller BRCA rules. All specifications are within the "Global Body Spec" requirements (including those specs of ROAR, EFRA, FEMCA, FAMAR and IFMAR) The add-on wing has clearly marked "slats" that when cut out will increase the wing efficiency. As usual it comes with wing hardware, window masks, decal sheet and protective film.
