Product Information

Full details

This Tamiya 51690 Kar-Set is designed for RC hobbyists looking to customize their 1:10 scale Tamiya M-08 Concept, M-05, and M-06 chassis with a detailed Renault Alpine A110 Jägermeister body in metallic silver. Its key benefit is providing a high-quality, pre-cut polycarbonate body for an authentic scale look. A potential caveat is that it's a body kit only and requires assembly and painting, along with a compatible chassis.

FAQs

What scale is this RC car body kit?

This is a 1:10 scale body kit.

What chassis types is this body compatible with?

It is compatible with Tamiya M-08 Concept, M-05, and M-06 chassis with a 210mm wheelbase.

Does this product include the RC car chassis?

No, this is a body kit only. It includes the polycarbonate body, paint masks, and decals. The RC chassis and electronics are not included.

What material is the body made from?

The body is made from lightweight 1.0mm polycarbonate.

Do I need to paint this body?

Yes, the body is supplied in metallic silver but requires painting and decal application for the final Jägermeister livery. Paint masks are included to help with the process.

Is assembly required for the body?

Yes, basic assembly of the body and application of decals are required. Some small parts may also need to be attached.

What is the purpose of the included paint masks?

The paint masks are pre-cut and help you mask off specific areas of the body to achieve clean paint lines and accurate application of different colors or details.

Troubleshooting

Decals not sticking properly

Ensure the surface of the polycarbonate is clean and free of grease or dust. For best results, apply decals to the inside of the body after painting. A small amount of decal setting solution can sometimes improve adhesion.

Paint bleeding under masks

Ensure paint masks are applied firmly to the polycarbonate surface, with no gaps. Use light coats of paint initially to minimize the chance of bleed-through. Allow paint layers to dry adequately between applications.

Body doesn't fit chassis correctly

Verify that you are using a compatible Tamiya chassis (M-08, M-05, M-06) and that it is set to the correct 210mm wheelbase. Check that body posts are installed correctly and are at the appropriate height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Carefully unpack all components from the storage box.
  2. Trim the polycarbonate body according to the outer line, if necessary.
  3. Apply the provided paint masks to areas requiring specific colors or masking.
  4. Paint the body from the inside using polycarbonate-safe paints, starting with darker colors.
  5. Once paint is dry, carefully apply the included decals, aligning them with reference marks or using them for artistic placement.
  6. Attach any included small parts or accessories as per instructions (if any). Ensure the body posts on your chassis align with the body's mounting points.

Compatibility:

  • This body kit is specifically designed for Tamiya M-08 Concept, M-05, and M-06 chassis.
  • Requires a 210mm wheelbase configuration on the compatible chassis.
  • Ensure your chassis uses standard body mounting methods (e.g., body posts).

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the painted body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint or decals.
  • Store the body in its original box or a dedicated RC car body bag to protect it from dust and physical damage when not in use.
