Technical Performance

The Team Associated RC10DS Trans Am Bodyshell AS8819 is engineered from quality materials specifically selected for durability and clarity in the RC hobby market. The clear finish provides optical clarity that allows visibility of internal components when displayed, whilst maintaining structural integrity needed for track use and bashful running. The body shell is designed with precision-moulded details that capture the Trans Am's distinctive styling cues including authentic bodylines, panel definitions and proportions that scale correctly on the 1/10 RC10DS platform. The construction utilises standard polycarbonate materials common in RC bodyshell manufacturing, chosen for their combination of lightweight properties, impact resistance and ease of customisation through painting or graphic application. Built to Team Associated's quality standards, this is a professional-grade component that meets the expectations of serious RC car builders, competitive racers, and dedicated enthusiasts who demand authenticity and reliability in their RC vehicles. The mounting system integrates seamlessly with RC10DS-specific body post locations and securing points, ensuring stable body mounting during both high-speed running and aggressive cornering. The clear material allows light to transmit through the shell, making it an attractive option for display purposes or for builders who wish to showcase the mechanical precision of the RC10DS chassis underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Team Associated RC10DS Trans Am Bodyshell suitable for beginners? — This is a genuine replacement bodyshell component, so it's not a complete RC car or beginner-level ready-to-run kit. It's designed for builders who already own an RC10DS chassis or who are experienced enough to assemble a complete RC car setup. If you're new to RC cars in the UK, you may want to start with a complete ready-to-run RC car package before purchasing individual components like this bodyshell.
• Can I paint the clear bodyshell myself? — Yes, the uncoloured clear finish is specifically designed to be customised. You can apply lexan or acrylic RC-specific paints to the inner surface of the shell, add vinyl graphics, apply custom decals, or use spray paint designed for polycarbonate materials. This flexibility is one of the main advantages of choosing a clear bodyshell rather than a pre-painted option.
• What is the exact fitment for this bodyshell? — The AS8819 is specifically designed for Team Associated RC10DS chassis. It fits the RC10DS platform with precision mounting to the RC10DS-specific body post locations, ensuring proper alignment and secure installation on your RC10DS setup.
• Is this an original Team Associated part? — Yes, this is a genuine factory Team Associated component, not an aftermarket replica or compatible alternative. The part number AS8819 with UPC 784695088191 confirms it as an authentic Team Associated product, ensuring quality, fitment and authenticity that matter to collectors and serious RC enthusiasts.
• Why would I choose a clear bodyshell over a pre-painted one? — Clear bodyshells offer maximum customisation flexibility, allowing you to create a unique colour scheme that matches your preferences or a specific theme. They're popular for display purposes as they showcase the RC10DS chassis underneath, and they work well if you want to update your RC car's appearance without buying a completely new body.
• Will this bodyshell work with other RC10 models? — This bodyshell is specifically designed for the RC10DS chassis platform. For compatibility with other RC10 variants or earlier RC10 models, you would need to confirm fitment or obtain a bodyshell designed specifically for that model. When matching body styles across your RC10 collection or projects, the AS8819 designation ensures you're selecting the correct part.
