Technical Performance
The DR10 Reakt Drag Body Shell represents Team Associated's commitment to precision engineering in the drag racing segment. Designed specifically for the DR10 and DR10M platforms, this body shell integrates seamlessly with the chassis geometry, weight distribution, and overall platform engineering that makes these drag cars competitive. The clear polycarbonate construction typical of RC body shells provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight—critical factors in drag racing where every gram affects acceleration and final times. The Reakt styling incorporates proven aerodynamic principles developed through years of competitive drag racing, with subtle body lines and proportions optimised for high-speed stability during acceleration bursts. Unlike generic body shells, this component is engineered with the specific wheelbase, track width, and chassis proportions of the DR10 in mind, ensuring perfect panel alignment, minimal gaps, and professional fitment from the moment you mount it. The clear finish allows light penetration, making it ideal for illuminated builds or showcasing internal component quality. For UK-based drag racing competitors and builders, this body shell represents the commitment to authenticity and performance that serious racers expect from Team Associated, a brand with decades of racing heritage and proven track success.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the DR10 Reakt clear body shell compatible with both DR10 and DR10M models? — Yes, this body shell is engineered to fit both the Team Associated DR10 and DR10M drag racing platforms. The Reakt styling and dimensions are consistent across both models, ensuring perfect compatibility regardless of which variant you operate.
- Can I paint this clear body shell or does it need to stay transparent? — Absolutely, this clear shell is designed as a blank canvas for customisation. You can paint the exterior with polycarbonate-compatible RC body paints, apply vinyl graphics, or leave it clear and apply custom designs to the interior surface for a unique two-tone effect. Team Associated provides video tips for painting clear bodies on their official website.
- What makes a drag-specific body shell different from a standard RC body? — Drag-specific bodies like the DR10 Reakt are engineered with aerodynamic profiles and proportions optimised for straight-line acceleration and high-speed stability. Unlike multi-purpose shells, every curve and dimension is tailored to the DR10's wheelbase, track width, and weight distribution for maximum competitive performance on the dragstrip.
- Is this a complete ready-to-run body or do I need additional parts? — This is the body shell only. You will need a DR10 or DR10M chassis, electronics (motor, ESC, receiver, servo), battery, radio transmitter, and other components to complete a functional drag car. This shell is the cosmetic and aerodynamic component that mounts onto your existing platform.
- How durable is the clear polycarbonate construction? — RC body shells, including this clear version, are manufactured from durable polycarbonate plastic designed to absorb impacts and minor crashes without permanent deformation. The clear finish provides excellent visibility and allows you to inspect internal components for damage after racing or bashing.
- What is the difference between this clear shell and painted alternatives? — The clear finish offers maximum transparency for showcasing internal components and custom paint jobs applied to the underside, whilst painted shells arrive ready to use. The clear option appeals to builders who value customisation flexibility and want to display their internal build quality.
