• Semi-Transparent Windows — The tinted semi-transparent window material provides realistic glazing that allows you to see interior details whilst maintaining the authentic appearance of a road-going Lancer Evo X.
• Assembled Light Buckets with Transparent Lights — Pre-fitted transparent front and rear light assemblies with light buckets create a genuine rally racing appearance and allow for optional LED light kit installation for stunning night-time running.

• Dual Decal Sheets Included — The package contains both basic sticker decals and a dedicated rally racing decal sheet, giving you flexibility to create your own livery design or apply a competition-ready rally racing theme.
• Polycarbonate Construction — The tough polycarbonate body material provides excellent durability for both competitive track use and casual bashing, with sufficient impact resistance to withstand the demands of serious RC driving.

Technical Performance

The KILLERBODY Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X bodyshell is engineered to exacting standards using premium polycarbonate material that balances lightweight construction with exceptional durability. The 257mm long wheelbase and 190mm width are specifically calculated to work seamlessly with modern 1/10 scale touring car chassis platforms, ensuring that the body proportions remain authentic whilst maintaining the correct weight distribution for optimal handling characteristics. The pre-painted finish is applied using professional automotive-grade techniques, delivering a deep, lustrous appearance that rivals genuine scale model quality. The semi-transparent window material is colour-matched to the body paint, creating an integrated aesthetic that looks far more realistic than standard clear-window alternatives. The assembled transparent light buckets feature pre-installed transparent inserts that refract light realistically, and these are designed to accommodate optional LED light kits for drivers who want to add dynamic lighting effects to their RC cars. The scale accessories—emblems, licence plates, wipers, mirrors, wings and spoilers—are all pre-fitted and secured using appropriate adhesive and fastening methods, eliminating assembly time and ensuring professional alignment. This body shell is designed to fit chassis with approximately 190mm body width and 257mm wheelbase, making it compatible with popular platforms including the Tamiya XV02 and similar modern touring car designs. The polycarbonate construction provides superior impact resistance compared to cheaper alternatives, meaning your investment in this premium bodyshell will deliver years of reliable performance whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual RC driving in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X bodyshell fit my touring car chassis? — The KILLERBODY body is designed for chassis with a 257mm wheelbase and approximately 190mm body width. If your chassis matches these specifications, the body will fit perfectly. Popular compatible platforms include the Tamiya XV02, HPI RS4 Nitro 3, and similar 1/10 scale touring cars. It's worth checking your chassis dimensions against these specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• Is this body shell suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Because the body arrives completely pre-painted with all accessories pre-fitted, beginners can get a professional-looking finished RC car with zero painting or detailed assembly required. Simply mount the body onto your compatible touring car chassis and you're ready to drive. This makes it an excellent choice for newcomers to RC touring cars who want to focus on learning to drive rather than spending hours on body preparation.
• Does this body shell come with working lights? — The bodyshell includes assembled transparent light buckets with transparent inserts, but these are passive lighting fixtures—they do not include working LED lights. However, the light bucket design is specifically engineered to accommodate optional LED light kits, which you can purchase separately and install into the transparent housings to create dynamic lighting effects for night-time driving.
• What is the difference between a finished and unfinished bodyshell? — A finished bodyshell like this KILLERBODY Mitsubishi arrives pre-painted in factory-correct colours with all scale accessories pre-fitted and ready to use immediately. An unfinished bodyshell requires you to paint the polycarbonate body yourself, apply decals, and fit all the small accessories like emblems, mirrors and spoilers—a process that can take many hours and requires specialist knowledge and equipment. The finished approach saves enormous amounts of time and delivers a professional result instantly.
• Can I add my own decals or custom livery to this bodyshell? — Yes, the bodyshell includes two decal sheets—basic stickers and a rally racing sheet—but the polycarbonate surface is suitable for applying your own custom decals as well. You can either use the included rally racing decals for an authentic competition look, apply the basic decals for a cleaner appearance, or create your own unique livery design using custom decals from specialist RC decal manufacturers.
• Is the polycarbonate body durable enough for competitive racing? — Absolutely. Polycarbonate is the industry-standard material for RC car bodyshells and is specifically chosen for its combination of light weight and excellent impact resistance. This KILLERBODY shell will withstand the demands of competitive touring car racing, track day driving, and casual bashing. The material is significantly more durable than cheaper alternatives and will maintain its finish and structural integrity through years of active use.
• Will this body fit on an HPI RS4 Nitro 3 chassis? — Yes, based on the dimensions of the HPI RS4 Nitro 3 200mm chassis and the KILLERBODY body's 190mm width and 257mm wheelbase, this body is compatible with this popular nitro-powered platform, allowing you to create a stunning finished nitro touring car.
