Choosing an RC Car Body

By Ken Roberts 31 March, 2023 2 mins read

When it comes to choosing an RC car body, the possibilities are limitless. You can choose from Lexan/Traxxas or PVC. The material that you use will be dependent on your budget and the desired effect. Another option is to use plastic parts that you attach to the body. You should remember that plastic parts can be less durable than Lexan, Fiberglass or other materials. You want the best results so make sure you use only the best materials.

Lexan

You need to make sure you use the correct paint if your Lexan RC vehicle is being painted. If you use cheaper paint, you will have to first clean the body. You can also use sandpaper for sanding the body. If you don't have fine sandpaper, you can try Brillo pads instead. These pads work as well as sandpaper but are typically cheaper than sandpaper.

Fiberglass

There are many options available if you want to make a fiberglass RC car body. The most popular plastic is polycarbonate, also known by the name Lexan. This plastic is specially synthesized and produced to withstand harsh conditions. Most RC cars are made by vacuum-forming Lexan on top of a mold. Lexan is a type of strong plastic called polycarbonate sheeting. General Electric was the first to use Lexan in 1960, and it is still the most widely used type of plastic.

Traxxas

You can alter the design of the Traxxas RC-body to create a new look for your RC car. You can actually use a body that was made for a specific brand of RC car. The body must fit your car perfectly. It may not be possible to modify it in that situation. There are two main types RC car bodies.

PVC

There are many important things to consider when choosing a PVC RC body. To ensure the correct fit of your body, measure your vehicle before buying. The size of the body can vary from one manufacturer. If your car is 1:10 scale the body will fit. If it isn't, you might need to modify the body. You can purchase different-sized bodies to make your vehicle look different.

SummitLink

SummitLink RC body kits are a great option if you're looking for a unique look on your model. This custom body comes with a striking US Flag design. You can remove your Traxxas Slash body and replace it with the custom one. Other models may require drilling new holes, but the body will fit over them. The body is equipped with a decal sheet, which makes it easy for you to customize the body to suit your RC car.
