RC Body Clips 120pcs for 1/10 1/12 RC Cars - Secure & Springy

In this review of the RC Body Clips 120pcs set, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for hobbyists and hobby shops that need a large, inexpensive supply of replacement body pins that work reliably on most 1/10 and 1/12 scale electric RC cars. The reviewer found the spring steel construction and slight bend at the end make installation and removal easier while keeping shells and wings securely fastened to mounting posts. If you regularly rebuild, race, or maintain TRAXXAS, HPI, Redcat and similar models, these clips provide value through quantity and usable design.

Key Features

• 120pcs kit: Provides a deep spare parts stash so you can replace lost or damaged clips without frequent reordering.
• Compatible sizes: Sized for mostly 1/10 and 1/12 scale RC vehicles, so they fit popular models from TRAXXAS, HPI, Team Associated, Redcat and Axial.
• Spring steel material: Made from quality spring steel with galvanizing processing to retain shape and resist light corrosion over time.
• Bend end design: Slightly bent ends let clips be installed and removed more easily while still holding bodies and wings securely on posts.
• Practical dimensions: At about 0.95 in total length, 1.2 mm rod diameter and 6 mm ring diameter, these clips match common post sizes for many hobby models.

Who It's For

This collection suits RC hobbyists, race teams, and repair shops that work primarily with 1/10 and 1/12 scale electric RC cars and need a large supply of reliable body pins for bodies, wings and battery holders. It is especially useful for those who frequently disassemble bodies for maintenance or swap shells between runs and want clips that are easy to remove by hand.

Those running mostly 1/5 or 1/8 scale vehicles should look elsewhere for heavier, thicker clips; these pins are described as thin for those larger scales and may not provide an ideal long-term fit under heavy use or off-road stress.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 120pcs count reduces the need for frequent replacements or emergency runs to the store.
• Spring steel construction offers good springiness and retention for body mounting posts.
• Bent end design speeds installation and removal, saving time at the track or during maintenance.

Cons

• Thin gauge makes them less than ideal for 1/5 and 1/8 scale vehicles under heavy stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these clips fit TRAXXAS posts?
Yes, the clip dimensions and ring diameter are compatible with common TRAXXAS 1/10 scale body posts used on Slash, Rustler and similar models.

Are the clips rust resistant?
The clips are made from spring steel with galvanizing processing to reduce corrosion, but long-term exposure to moisture may still require occasional inspection.

Can I use them on 1/8 or 1/5 scale cars?
They can work in some cases, but the kit is thin for 1/8 and 1/5 applications and may not be ideal under heavy load or rough off-road use.
