Tamiya Nissan GT-R Sumo Power Body Set - Tamiya - 51453

The body set is made from extremely robust polycarbonate, which is standard for RC car bodies due to its durability and flexibility.

No, the Tamiya 51453 Nissan GT-R Sumo Power Body Set comes unpainted and requires the user to paint and apply decals.

This body is designed for specific Tamiya R/C chassis. Always check your specific Tamiya model's manual or Tamiya's official resources for confirmed compatibility, as it's often intended for touring car or GT-class platforms like the TT-01 or TT-02 series.

You will need basic RC modeling tools such as a hobby knife or body scissors for cutting, polycarbonate-specific spray paints, and potentially masking tape and decals. Tamiya body clips are usually required for mounting.

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the paint.

While modifications might be possible, this body set is specifically designed and intended for use with Tamiya radio control chassis for optimal fit and performance.

Refer to the instruction manual included with the body set. Generic guides for painting polycarbonate RC bodies are also widely available online.

Verify chassis compatibility with the body set. Ensure all trim lines have been cut precisely and that body mounting posts (if required) are correctly installed on the chassis.

Ensure the inside of the polycarbonate body was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before painting. Use only polycarbonate-specific spray paints. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Use a sharp hobby knife or specialized polycarbonate body scissors. Score the lines lightly first before attempting to cut through. Patience and a steady hand are key.

Ensure the painted surface is clean and free of dust or grease. Apply decals slowly and carefully, smoothing them down with a soft cloth or squeegee to remove air bubbles.
