Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Killerbody Lancia 037 body shell suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent choice for builders of all experience levels. The uncut format means you have complete creative control over the build process, allowing you to learn at your own pace. However, cutting and preparing the body shell does require some skill and the right tools, so complete beginners may want to watch tutorials or seek guidance from experienced RC builders in the UK community before starting.
• What chassis platforms will this body shell fit? — The Lancia 037 body is designed to fit 180–190mm wide touring car and rally chassis platforms. This includes most modern touring car bases and dedicated rally platforms available through UK RC retailers. Check your specific chassis width before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
• Can I add working lights to this body shell? — Absolutely. The entire body shell design has been engineered with LED light installation in mind. The pre-moulded front and rear light buckets, combined with the 4-piece bonnet spotlight cluster, all accept LED components. You'll need to source appropriate LED units and wiring, along with resistors and power management if necessary, but the body provides all the mounting points you need.
• What makes the Lancia 037 special in rally history? — The Lancia 037 is legendary because it was the last rear-wheel-drive car to win the World Rally Championship, achieving this feat in 1983. It represents a unique moment in motorsport history when advanced aerodynamics and raw driving skill could overcome the emerging dominance of four-wheel-drive systems. This historical significance makes it instantly recognisable and deeply appealing to anyone passionate about rally racing.
• Is this body shell uncut, and why does that matter? — Yes, the body arrives completely uncut. This is beneficial because it gives you total control over window cutting, allowing you to position windows exactly how you want them. You can also carefully cut light bucket openings and ensure perfect alignment with your specific chassis. Uncut shells also give you the flexibility to leave certain areas solid if you prefer a modified or custom appearance.
• What is the scale of this body shell? — This is a 1:10 scale body shell, making it compatible with standard 1:10 RC touring cars and rally platforms. This is the most popular scale for RC cars in the UK and offers an excellent balance between size, detail and cost of components.
• Does this come with paint? — No, the body shell is supplied as clear Lexan. You have the option to apply paint to the rear side of the shell to create your desired colour scheme, or you can keep it clear and rely on the included decals for visual identity. Many builders prefer clear shells because they showcase the internal mechanics and allow for creative lighting effects.
