Technical Performance

This Carisma Subaru Impreza 2006 WRC Clear Body Set represents premium quality bodyshell engineering for 1/10 scale touring car racing. The polycarbonate material used in construction offers an excellent balance between strength, flexibility, and weight savings — critical factors when building a competitive RC car UK racer. Polycarbonate is the industry standard for radio control bodyshells because it's impact-resistant, maintains structural integrity during high-speed racing, and can be painted with specialised RC body paints for a professional finish. The clear finish means you can paint the body from the inside, allowing for stunning multi-colour designs with clean edges and vibrant colour intensity. The 190mm body length is specifically engineered for 1/10 touring car platforms with 257mm to 260mm wheelbases, ensuring optimal aerodynamics, weight distribution, and handling characteristics. The body shell comes complete with a decal sheet containing all necessary graphics, allowing you to either recreate authentic WRC liveries or design completely custom artwork. The non-cut design gives you maximum flexibility — you can cut window openings, mount light buckets, or modify the body exactly as you wish. With no pre-applied paint or finish to remove, assembly is straightforward once you're ready to paint. This unpainted approach is particularly valued by RC competitors and serious builders who demand precision-fit components and the ability to apply professional paint schemes that showcase their RC car to its best advantage on the track.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this body fit my 1/10 touring car? — This Carisma bodyshell is designed to fit most standard 1/10 touring car platforms featuring a wheelbase between 257mm and 260mm. Measure your chassis wheelbase before purchasing to ensure compatibility. Popular touring cars such as TamiyaTA08, Xray T4, and similar platforms in this wheelbase range will accept this body shell without modification.
• What paint should I use on this polycarbonate body? — You must use specialised polycarbonate body paint, which is specifically formulated to adhere to polycarbonate without cracking or peeling. Standard model paints and automotive paints will not bond properly to polycarbonate. RC body paints are available in countless colours and can be applied from the inside of the clear shell for professional results.
• Is the body pre-cut for windows and headlights? — No, this is a non-cut body shell, meaning it arrives as a complete piece without window or light bucket openings. This gives you complete freedom to cut and modify the body exactly how you want it. You'll need to mark and carefully cut windows and light openings using a craft knife or specialised body shell cutter.
• What is the wheelbase compatibility range? — This body shell is designed for chassis with a wheelbase between 257mm and 260mm. This range covers most standard 1/10 touring car platforms. Always measure your specific chassis wheelbase before purchasing to ensure proper fit and handling characteristics.
• Does this come with window masks? — No, this body set does not include window masks. Window masks are optional accessories that help protect areas when painting if you choose to use them. Many builders prefer to paint the body completely and then cut out the windows afterwards, or apply window stickers.
• Can I use this body on an off-road buggy or truck? — Whilst this is primarily designed as a touring car body shell, it is listed as Multi-Surface class, meaning it can be used on various platforms including rally and off-road applications. However, it's optimised for touring car chassis with the specified 257-260mm wheelbase range.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes and no — if you're new to RC cars, this body shell is a great learning project for understanding how to paint and decorate polycarbonate bodies. However, you'll need access to a suitable 1/10 touring car chassis and the necessary painting supplies. This is ideal for intermediate builders who want to customise their RC car UK setup with authentic styling.
