Customise Your Hotshot with Purpose-Built Body Panels

The Tamiya 40170 TamTech-Gear Hotshot Body Parts Set provides a sturdy foundation for custom builds. Specifically produced for GB-01 and GB-02 chassis, the panels are resilient and straightforward to adapt for a personalised appearance.

Finishing Tips for Clean Results

These panels take Tamiya Polycarbonate Spray Paints and respond well to masking and multi-layer colour work. Allow adequate curing time between coats to avoid tackiness and to achieve a durable finish.

Compatible with GB-01 and GB-02 Mount Points

Cut to suit GB-01 and GB-02 mounting patterns, the set makes replacement and upgrades simple. It is suitable for both racers refreshing a worn shell and scale modellers creating unique liveries.

If your chassis has been altered, some trimming or additional mounting brackets may be required. The panels match standard GB-01 and GB-02 layouts and work best on unmodified frames.
Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol, secure masking where needed and apply thin primer-style coats of polycarbonate paint. Avoid heavy single coats to reduce runs and ensure flexibility.
Individual replacement panels are sometimes available through parts suppliers. For small splits, repair with specialist adhesives or reinforced patches designed for polycarbonate bodies.
Stickers bond well after the paint has fully cured. Use decals formulated for plastic and protect them with a light clear coat to extend longevity in outdoor use.
