- Stainless Steel Air Intake Mesh — The inclusion of a stainless steel mesh component for the air intake adds durability and authentic detailing, ensuring that exposed functional parts maintain their appearance through regular use and washing.

Technical Performance
The KILLERBODY VivaC 86 MC represents professional-grade bodyshell engineering designed specifically for 1/10 scale on-road touring and drift racing. The shell is constructed from quality polycarbonate materials capable of withstanding the demands of competitive racing and regular handling, whilst the pre-painted white finish provides a premium factory appearance that would typically require expensive custom paintwork. The 257mm long wheelbase and 195mm width dimensions are engineered to provide optimal fitment on compatible on-road chassis platforms, with proper body post alignment and clearance being essential considerations during installation. The comprehensive suite of assembled plastic components—including light buckets, lamp holders, wing mirrors, spoilers, and air intake assemblies—demonstrates careful attention to scale detail and functional integration. The inclusion of a stainless steel air intake mesh ensures durability against corrosion and wear, particularly important for RC cars that may be exposed to damp British weather conditions. The transparent polycarbonate windows maintain clarity and impact resistance during typical racing use, and the quality of the decal application suggests professional finishing standards. This bodyshell is designed as a complete package that requires only basic assembly and fitting to a compatible 1/10 on-road chassis, making it ideal for UK RC enthusiasts seeking a finished, ready-to-display body shell that performs as well as it looks. The careful engineering of body post positions and component placement reflects the manufacturer's experience in creating touring car bodies that balance aesthetic appeal with functional racing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the KILLERBODY VivaC 86 MC Finished Bodyshell compatible with my RC touring car chassis? — This bodyshell is engineered for 1/10 scale on-road chassis with a 257mm long wheelbase and approximately 195mm body width. Before purchasing, verify that your specific chassis matches these dimensions and check that the body post positions on your chassis align properly with the mounting points on this bodyshell. Most popular touring car platforms in the 1/10 on-road segment will be compatible, but it is essential to confirm these measurements with your chassis documentation or by measuring your existing setup.
- Does this bodyshell come fully assembled and ready to mount? — Yes, the KILLERBODY VivaC 86 MC arrives as a finished bodyshell with transparent windows already fitted and light buckets pre-assembled with lamp holders installed. The extensive plastic components including spoilers, wing mirrors, door knobs, and other scale details are also included and mostly pre-assembled. You will only need to mount it onto your chassis body posts and secure the mounting hardware, making this an ideal choice for those who want a detailed, finished appearance without extensive assembly time.
- What paint or protective finish does this bodyshell have? — The bodyshell arrives in a premium white factory finish that is fully painted and ready for immediate use. The paint is applied by the manufacturer to professional standards, eliminating the need for custom painting. The transparent windows are clear polycarbonate, and all scale details receive the same careful finishing as the main shell, resulting in a cohesive, professional appearance.
- Can I use different decals or customise the appearance? — Absolutely. The bodyshell arrives with two complete decal sets—basic stickers and racing stickers—allowing you to choose your preferred livery. Additionally, the white finish provides an excellent base for applying custom decals, vinyl wraps, or additional personalisation to match your team colours or racing number. The polycarbonate construction accepts decals and protective coatings well, giving you flexibility in customisation.
- What is included in the decal package? — Two complete decal sets are provided: a basic sticker decal set and a racing sticker decal set. These allow you to select the appearance that best matches your preferred racing livery or team identity. Both sets are pre-cut and ready to apply, though careful application is recommended for professional results.
- Is this bodyshell suitable for beginners? — Yes, this finished bodyshell is an excellent choice for beginners because it arrives pre-painted, pre-assembled, and ready to mount directly onto a compatible chassis. Unlike unpainted bodies that require spray painting and detailed assembly, the Vivac 86 MC eliminates many of the complex steps involved in bodyshell preparation. Beginners in the RC hobby can focus on getting their chassis set up and their RC car on the track quickly, without the technical challenges of painting and detailed component assembly.
- What chassis are compatible with the 257mm wheelbase and 195mm width? — This bodyshell is designed for standard 1/10 on-road touring car chassis. Popular compatible platforms typically include professional touring cars and drift chassis from major manufacturers, but specific compatibility depends on your individual chassis model. Check your chassis documentation for wheelbase and width measurements, or contact our RC Model Shop team for compatibility confirmation before ordering. Body post positioning is also important, so visual confirmation of your chassis layout is recommended.
- Are the windows scratch-resistant and durable? — The transparent windows are manufactured from quality polycarbonate material, which provides good impact resistance and durability during typical RC racing and recreational use. While polycarbonate can scratch over time with heavy use or poor handling, the material is suitable for competitive touring car racing. Protective storage and careful handling will help maintain optical clarity over extended use.
