PRM 1/10 RT-C Light Weight Clear Body: Oval G-PRM1239-25

Overview

The PROTOform 1/10 RT-C Light Weight Clear Body is a purpose-built bodyshell designed specifically for rubber tyre oval track racing on carpet surfaces. Inspired by the newest generation of XFINITY Series stock cars, this RC body brings authentic 1:1 motorsport styling to your 1/10 scale oval racer. Whether you're a dedicated oval racing enthusiast in the UK or looking to explore this exciting branch of RC car sport, the RT-C offers realistic proportions and intelligent engineering that sets it apart from standard sedan bodies. This is an ideal choice for RC car UK enthusiasts who want to step into competitive oval racing with a body that's been specifically engineered for performance and ease of use.

The RT-C features a clever design twist that makes it uniquely suited to the rubber tyre format now dominating the oval racing scene. Unlike traditional slick tyres, rubber tyres on carpet oval cars eliminate the need for time-consuming tyre truing processes, saving both time and money whilst bringing a new element of driving skill to the sport. The body is configured to fit perfectly over the taller rubber and capped tyres used in modern oval racing, ensuring authentic stance and aerodynamic efficiency. This makes the RT-C an excellent investment for anyone serious about oval competition or casual weekend racing.

Manufactured in the USA from high-quality 0.025-inch polycarbonate, this clear bodyshell is built to last and designed for easy customisation. The RT-C comes complete with spoiler mounting hardware, protective overspray film, window masks and a decal sheet, making it a true race-ready package. All you need to do is paint your design, apply the included protective film, and you'll have a stunning finished body ready for the track. This body will fit most popular 200mm sedan chassis designs, offering excellent compatibility with a range of oval platforms.

Technical Performance

The PROTOform RT-C is engineered with precision from 0.025-inch crystal-clear polycarbonate, a material specification that ensures durability, consistent fitment and excellent paint adhesion. The body's overall dimensions of 18.5 inches (469mm) in length, 8.25 inches (209mm) in width and 4.1 inches (103mm) in height create a compact, realistic stock car profile that works beautifully with the taller rubber tyre and capped wheel combinations now standard in oval carpet racing. The wheelbase accommodation of 10.0 to 10.5 inches (255mm to 270mm) provides flexibility across a range of 200mm sedan chassis platforms, making this body a versatile choice for UK RC oval enthusiasts. The bumped-out left side design for battery clearance is a thoughtful engineering touch that eliminates fitment frustrations common with standard sedan bodies, whilst the large rear spoiler isn't merely aesthetic—it's a functional tuning element that allows you to adjust downforce and balance your car's handling characteristics across different track surfaces. The entire package, from the protective overspray film to the window masks and spoiler mounting hardware, demonstrates PROTOform's commitment to providing a complete, race-ready solution that eliminates guesswork from the body preparation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the PROTOform RT-C suitable for beginners to oval racing? — Yes, the RT-C is an excellent entry point into oval racing. The body comes fully prepared with all necessary hardware, masking and protection films included. The straightforward assembly process and clear instructions mean first-time builders can complete their body preparation with confidence. Oval racing itself teaches valuable car control skills, and the RT-C's large rear spoiler makes it easy to tune the car's handling as you develop your driving technique.
• What chassis will the RT-C body fit? — The RT-C is designed to fit most popular 200mm sedan chassis platforms with a wheelbase range of 10.0 to 10.5 inches (255mm to 270mm). This makes it compatible with a wide variety of oval racing platforms available in the UK RC market. Always verify your specific chassis wheelbase falls within this range before purchasing.
• Can I use this body on a standard sedan chassis? — Yes, the RT-C will fit standard 200mm sedan chassis, though it's specifically engineered for rubber tyre oval racing. The bumped-out left side for battery clearance works perfectly with both oval and sedan builds, making this body versatile across multiple platform types.
• What type of paint should I use on the RT-C? — You should use paint specifically formulated for polycarbonate bodies, often called lexan paint or RC body paint. These paints are designed to adhere properly to polycarbonate material without cracking or peeling. Avoid standard automotive acrylic paints, which will not stick properly to polycarbonate surfaces.
• How difficult is it to prepare the body for painting? — The RT-C simplifies body preparation significantly. Simply clean the clear shell, apply the included window masks to protect glass areas, and apply the paint-then-peel overspray film. Once painted, you simply peel away the protective film to reveal clean lines. This method is far simpler than traditional masking and saves considerable preparation time compared to other bodies.
• What makes the RT-C different from a standard sedan body? — The RT-C is specifically engineered for rubber tyre oval racing, with a design that accommodates taller wheels and tyres perfectly. The bumped-out left side provides battery clearance without body modifications, and the large adjustable rear spoiler is a functional tuning element rather than purely aesthetic. Additionally, the XFINITY Series styling creates a more authentic stock car appearance than generic sedan bodies.
• Is this body suitable for competitive oval racing in the UK? — Absolutely. The RT-C is purpose-built for oval competition and will perform excellently in UK oval racing clubs and competitions. Its adjustable rear spoiler allows competitive tuning, and the realistic styling meets the aesthetic standards of competitive racing environments.
• Do I need to trim or modify the body for fitment? — The RT-C is engineered to fit 200mm sedan chassis within the specified wheelbase range without requiring modification. The bumped-out left side is already designed into the shell, eliminating the need for battery box trimming or fitment adjustments on properly matched chassis.
• What is included in the decal sheet? — The decal sheet includes racing numbers and detailing appropriate to the XFINITY Series stock car styling, allowing you to create authentic race car graphics. Specific decal designs vary, but typically include number sets, sponsor graphics and detail trim lines.
• How durable is the 0.025-inch polycarbonate? — Polycarbonate at 0.025-inch thickness is extremely durable and provides excellent impact resistance. This thickness is the professional standard for high-end RC bodies and offers outstanding longevity compared to thinner alternatives. With proper care, your RT-C body will last through many seasons of racing.
