1/10th Touring Car RC Body Shells serve two main purposes and are split into two main categories. Sanctioned Race Shells and Club Racing and Fun Shells. RC Touring Car Race Body Shells are made from a lighter Lexan, often only loosely based on a real vehicle, finished with decals to add detail and are designed to be as aerodynamic as possible on track, balancing outright speed with grip and additional downforce provided by the body itself and a rear wing. The second type of RC Touring Car Bodyshell are photorealistic representations of real Touring Cars from the various global race series like the World Touring Car Cup (WTCC), British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM), and Supercars Championship (SC). The great thing for most owners is that most body shells designed for RC Touring Cars are either 190mm or 200mm wide, so with the correct offset wheels and configuration of body posts, can be used and interchanged on various different RC Touring car platforms. 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.

Perhaps the most essential part of producing a great body shell is the paint you choose to use. Here at MIBI we stock a wide range and will only ever stock paint we know and trust. Our
