Overview
The KILLERBODY LEXUS RC F 195MM FINISHED BODY in stunning orange is a premium pre-painted bodyshell designed for 1/10 scale RC touring cars. This finished body arrives ready to enhance your RC car UK setup with professional detailing and authentic styling inspired by the real Lexus RC F sports car. Whether you're building a custom RC car, upgrading an existing chassis, or completing a ready to run RC project, this bodyshell delivers exceptional scale realism and build quality that enthusiasts and collectors alike will appreciate.
Killerbody specialises in high-quality RC model bodies, and this Lexus RC F demonstrates their expertise perfectly. The body comes fully trimmed and painted in a vibrant orange finish that makes your RC car stand out on the track or at the bashfield. The transparent light buckets and smoky semi-transparent windows add depth and authenticity to the model, creating a genuinely realistic appearance that captures the essence of the iconic Lexus sports car. This is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a pre-painted touring car bodyshell that requires minimal preparation before installation.
What sets this body apart is the thoughtful design that gives you complete control over chassis compatibility. Rather than coming with pre-punched mounting holes, this bodyshell allows you to position body posts exactly where you need them to suit your specific chassis setup. This flexibility makes it compatible with a wide range of 1/10 touring car platforms, whether you're running a drift car, a circuit racer, or a general-purpose touring car. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking for a quality finished body that combines aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, this Killerbody offering is an excellent investment.

Technical Performance
The KILLERBODY LEXUS RC F bodyshell is engineered to exacting standards using quality polycarbonate plastic construction that provides the ideal balance of durability, weight and realism. The 195mm width specification ensures proper proportions for 1/10 scale touring cars, while the 257mm wheelbase accommodates a wide variety of chassis platforms. The pre-painted orange finish is applied with automotive-grade precision, delivering a professional appearance that looks striking on any RC car. The inclusion of transparent light buckets and smoky windows demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, whilst the pre-assembled components including the exhaust pipe, wing mirrors, wiper blade and shark fin antenna provide an immediately complete appearance without requiring additional work. The absence of pre-punched mounting holes is a practical engineering choice that allows builders to customise hole positioning for perfect chassis compatibility. The polycarbonate construction offers excellent impact resistance during running whilst remaining lightweight enough to maintain optimal handling characteristics. This finished body represents genuine quality that reflects Killerbody's specialisation in creating premium RC model bodies for discerning enthusiasts throughout the UK and worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a ready to run RC car or just a body shell? — This product is a body shell only; it contains just the painted plastic bodywork and some pre-assembled detail parts. You will need a separate 1/10 touring car chassis, motor, ESC, battery, radio system and wheels to create a complete running RC car. This is ideal if you already own a compatible chassis or plan to build a custom setup.
- What chassis is this body compatible with? — The 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width make this body compatible with most standard 1/10 scale touring car chassis platforms. Since this bodyshell comes without pre-punched mounting holes, you can drill mounting points to fit your specific chassis, whether that's a drift car, circuit racing platform, or general touring car setup. We recommend checking your chassis dimensions against these specifications before purchasing.
- Do I need to paint this body myself? — No, this is a pre-painted finished body that arrives in a stunning orange colour ready to use. The paint work is professionally applied at the factory, so you can install it directly onto your chassis without any additional painting or preparation, which saves significant time compared to unpainted polycarbonate bodies.
- Can I customise or modify this body? — Yes, absolutely. The polycarbonate construction allows you to carefully trim, modify or drill additional holes as needed for your specific setup. Many builders customise the window areas, add sponsor decals or modify the bodywork to suit their preferences. The pre-assembled detail parts can also be removed if desired.
- What makes Killerbody bodies different from other manufacturers? — Killerbody specialises exclusively in RC model bodies, giving them deep expertise in design, moulding and finishing. Their bodies are known for excellent proportions, quality paint finishes and attention to scale details. This Lexus RC F demonstrates that specialisation with realistic window treatments, assembled detail parts and thoughtful design choices like the unpunched mounting holes that provide maximum compatibility.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is suitable for anyone building or upgrading an RC car, whether beginner or experienced. However, if you're completely new to RC cars, you should be aware that this is a body shell component only and requires a complete chassis and electronics setup. Beginners might prefer to start with a ready to run complete RC car, then upgrade to custom body shells like this once familiar with the hobby. If you already own a compatible chassis, this is an excellent upgrade.
- What scale is this body? — This is a 1/10 scale body, which is the most popular standard for touring car racing and bashing in the UK RC hobby community. The 1/10 scale provides excellent proportions and detail visibility whilst remaining portable and suitable for most track and field venues.
