High-Quality 1/8 GT Clear Body from Serpent

The Serpent 170349 is a clear polycarbonate body set designed for 1/8 GT cars, offering a balance of toughness and workability. The clear finish provides a clean starting point for detailed paintwork and decals.

Robust Construction

Made from durable polycarbonate, the shell is intended to resist everyday race impacts and maintain integrity under stress. The material's flexibility helps prevent brittle failure in contact situations.

Perfect for Personalised Paintwork

With an unobstructed clear surface, this body is ideal for layered paint schemes, sponsor decals and fine detailing. Prepare and mask carefully to achieve crisp lines and consistent coverage.

Designed for Accurate Mounting

Formed to match typical 1/8 GT chassis geometry, the body supports precise mounting and tidy aerodynamic lines once trimmed to suit your specific chassis layout.

It stands up well to standard racing contact thanks to its polycarbonate build, though like any body it will show wear after repeated hard impacts. Inspect mounting edges after sessions.
Use paints made for lexan/polycarbonate and apply thin, even coats. Mask carefully and allow full cure between coats to preserve flexibility and prevent cracking.
Some trimming of wheel arches and mounting holes is usually required to match specific chassis and wheel combinations. Measure and cut incrementally for the best fit.
Keep the shell clean, avoid strong solvents, and repair small cracks with suitable adhesive if needed. Store out of direct sunlight to prevent heat distortion.
Yes, when painted and detailed carefully it makes an excellent display shell as well as a practical race body, offering both aesthetics and durability.
