1/10th Buggy bodies are vacuum formed and open wheeled in design. The thickness of Lexan use dictates their outright weight, some manufacturers produce lighter Race Bodies, at the expense of durability, or standard weight bodies that will withstand normal bashing use, or for race bodies, lots of practice. The RC Buggy Bodyshell not only has to look good, but in use it often works in conjunction with a Rear Wing to help generate grip and downforce at speed. The RC Buggy Bodyshell also helps protect the electrics and chassis in use, and bodies for RC Buggies can come in multiple parts, including a splash proof under tray. They may not be the most realistic bodies out there in the RC Car world, but they do serve a vital purpose. Most are sold clear and require cutting out, painting and detailing. Remember you must paint all Lexan Shells on the inside, with a compatible paint that physically attaches itself to the Lexan.
Most bodyshells require some work from the end user to finish them ready for use. To this end here at MIBI we stock a wide range of essential tools that help you complete the process with ease.
