Bodyshop
The former, often made by brands such as Tamiya or Killerbody, is as the name suggests an injection moulded item, made up of several pieces and that often very accurately portrays the vehicle in question. They tend to have a lot more detail but can suffer from being much heavier in use, so not the best solution for any type of competition vehicle as they raise the C of G. They do however have a firm place in the scale community where realism is the keyword and outright performance not as much of a concern. The other things to remember when contemplating a hard body are that you must paint the shell on the outside, with a specific type of paint. Many builders also add a top coat or lacquer to add additional resilience to wear and tear in use or go completely the other way and use weathering techniques to make the body look like it has a deep patina and years of use. Decals are often used to complete the look of a body and add another layer of realism into the mix.
Vacuum Formed shells on the other hand are often much, much lighter. The main shell being pulled from a single sheet of Lexan, or for more accurate representations of vehicles sometimes built up from multiple parts that are then bolted together. Race bodies tend to be just Lexan with decals added for detail. Additional detail can also be added to further enhance the look of a body, and this is often by the use of injection moulded parts, and adds more realistic bumpers, grille, wiper blades, door handles, wing mirrors, and even aerodynamic aids such as wings or splitters. Finally decals can be applied to add window details, brand logos, racing stripes or race numbers.
Here at MIBI we tray and stock as many variations of body shells as possible. If the body you require isn't in stock, it can usually be ordered for you. As ever, if in doubt, please do ask and we will try our hardest to accommodate you and keep your pride and joy looking good in the process!
1/10th Buggy Bodyshells
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.1/10th Rock Crawler Bodyshells
The 1/10th Rock Crawler Bodyshell can be either a functional (and often fictitious design) not based on a real vehicle at all, giving the rig it's fitted to ease of articulation via exaggerated wheel arches and a narrow body that won't get caught up on rocks or terrain while crawling, Or, it can be a fully Licensed RC Bodyshell, based on a real world 4x4. The latter tends to be the biggest trend at the moment and the RC Rock Crawler Bodyshell has become something of a work of art of late. Many brands produce them and as long as the wheelbase of your particular rig is compatible, they are all pretty much interchangeable. This way Body Shells for RC Rock Crawlers can be used to totally change the look and even era of a rig. You choose what inspires you the most. If you want a Retro 70's pick up, go for it. If you want the latest Japanese 4x4, that's possible too. Your rig is an extension of you and now you can choose a RC Rock crawler Body Shell that best suits you and your personality. 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.1/10th Short Course Bodyshells
The 1/10th Short Course RC Bodyshell is designed to accurately portray the shells of the American 1:1 vehicles that inspired this popular class of RC Bashing and Racing. They are usually split into two categories. True 'Short Course and 'Trophy Trucks. The former are 2 or 4WD 'Short Course' Trucks, and called that because they usually race on short courses, and do multiple laps per race on closed tracks, like football stadiums. These are set out with crowd pleasing jumps and obstacles that test both the drivers skills at the wheel, and their nerve in the air. The other types of body style that can be bought as a 1/10th and fitted onto RC Short Course Trucks are 'Trophy Trucks'. These are very similar looking to Short Course Trucks but often have the addition of extra lighting, a roll cage and spare tyres in the rear bed. They run over long distances, often point to point in the desert, on a completely open course with a driver and navigator. bodyshells for RC Short Course vary in their complexity and level of detail. Go lightweight and simple for a RC Short Course race shell, or more detailed and complex for a more realistic looking Trophy Truck. 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.1/10th Touring Car Bodyshells 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.
