Technical Performance

This KILLERBODY bodyshell is engineered for 1/10 scale touring car applications, with carefully calculated dimensions that ensure perfect fitment on standard touring car chassis platforms throughout the UK RC hobby market. At 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width, the body proportions maintain authentic proportions whilst optimising aerodynamic flow for realistic on-road performance. The construction utilises quality polycarbonate materials that provide durability through repeated crashes and impacts whilst maintaining structural integrity. The pre-painted finish is applied using professional automotive-grade methods that resist fading and maintain colour vibrancy through extended use and UV exposure. The integrated light buckets feature precision moulding that positions light elements correctly for authentic scale appearance, whether you choose to install LEDs or leave them as structural details. The semi-transparent window design employs carefully formulated polycarbonate compounds that balance visibility with realistic light filtering, creating an authentic scale appearance that elevates the overall presentation of your RC car build. All assembled components, from the wiper blades to the door handles and exterior mirrors, are manufactured to consistent standards and fitted precisely to ensure professional alignment and finish that remains stable through numerous running sessions and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this KILLERBODY Alfa Romeo body fit my touring car chassis? — Yes, this body is designed for 1/10 scale touring car platforms. It will fit chassis including the Tamiya TT-01E, Tamiya TT-02, and equivalent standard 1/10 touring car configurations. The 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width specifications ensure proper fitment on these platforms. We recommend checking your specific chassis dimensions before purchase, but virtually all 1/10 touring cars will accommodate this body without modification.
• Is this body pre-painted or do I need to paint it myself? — This body arrives completely pre-painted in vibrant red with a professional factory finish, so you don't need to source paint, apply primer, or spend time painting. This is one of the major advantages — you can mount it straight onto your chassis and begin running immediately, making it perfect for hobbyists who want to skip the painting stage.
• What makes this finished body better than a basic unpainted shell? — Unlike basic bodyshells that arrive as blank plastic requiring complete painting and assembly, this KILLERBODY comes with factory paint, pre-assembled light buckets, transparent light lenses, semi-transparent windows, and all scale details including mirrors, wipers, grille, door handles, exhaust pipe, and filler cap pre-fitted. This saves significant time and delivers professional-quality results immediately.
• Are the windows see-through so I can see inside the car? — The side and rear windows feature a smoky semi-transparent design that provides visibility into the body whilst maintaining realistic scale appearance. The front headlight lenses are transparent, allowing light to pass through the integrated light buckets. This combination creates an authentic and visually appealing finish.
• Do I need to install LED lights in the light buckets? — The light buckets and transparent light lenses are pre-assembled and ready for optional LED installation, but lights are not required. Many builders install LEDs for enhanced realism and night-time visibility, but the body looks excellent without them. The decision is entirely yours based on your preferences and budget.
• What decals are included and can I customise them? — Two decal sheets are included: a basic sticker decal sheet and a decorative decal sheet. These allow you to create various finished appearances. You can apply them as designed or mix elements from both sheets to create a unique custom look for your specific RC car build.
• Is this body suitable for high-speed racing? — This bodyshell is designed for 1/10 touring car applications and will perform well on standard touring car tracks. The aerodynamic profile is suitable for on-road racing speeds typical of 1/10 vehicles. For extreme competition or specialist racing, consult our team to confirm compatibility with your specific chassis and performance requirements.
• How do I attach this body to my chassis? — Installation depends on your specific chassis design, but typically involves mounting posts or clips that secure the body to the chassis frame. The body positioning ensures proper weight distribution and appearance. Detailed installation instructions come with your specific chassis rather than the body itself — please consult your chassis manual for exact fitting procedures.
• What is the difference between this finished body and other Alfa Romeo models? — The KILLERBODY Alfa Romeo 2000 GTAm represents the classic GTAm variant of this legendary Italian sports car, featuring the characteristic styling cues of that specific model including the distinctive grille, window line, and proportions. The 190mm width (195mm specification measured across widest points) is optimised for 1/10 scale touring cars, making it different from other scale variants that may be designed for larger platforms.
• Can I paint over this body if I want a different colour? — Technically possible, but this defeats the purpose of purchasing a pre-painted finished body. The factory paint finish is durable and professional quality, providing excellent value. If you prefer a different colour scheme, alternative KILLERBODY colours are available separately, or you could apply custom decal packs to modify the appearance without painting.
