Guide to RC Body Designs

This guide to RC body designs offers basic information about the alternatives available to RC car enthusiasts. Options include: buying a factory-made car and customizing it, using RC body kits to change the look of a pre-assembled RC car, or making modifications to the body of your car. Your choice of RC body design depends upon your needs as well as your preferences.

Factory pre-assembled RC bodies

If you purchase a pre-assembled RC car, it should include the original design created by the factory. Look at many different models and choose the one you like best. With so many great designs available, it's not hard to find a great factory RC car. You can change the look of your pre-assembled car with decal kits - an inexpensive way to transform your car's appearance without modifying the paint or parts. Additionally, you can quickly update your NASCAR RC car with the same sponsors belonging to your favorite driver.

RC body kits

RC body kits offer another option for changing the appearance of your RC car. These body kits are primed but not painted; you can add your own RC paint or decals. You may use stock colors or mix your own special colors to invent your own design.

Car body modifications

The last option is also the most intensive alternative, allowing maximum control over the design of your RC body. Body modifications are the ultimate way to transform your RC car to your own specifications. The range of modifications to choose from is endless, from adding a spoiler or a wheelie bar to supercharging your engine and improving your car's aerodynamics.
