Clear GT Shell for 1/8 Scale by Serpent

The Serpent 170349 is a clear-bodied shell designed for 1/8 GT model builders seeking a robust yet workable canvas. The polycarbonate construction balances strength with enough give to handle impacts while presenting a smooth face for painting.

Impact Resistant Construction

Produced from quality polycarbonate, this body resists chips and fractures under typical racing stresses. Its slight flexibility helps absorb knocks without sacrificing the shell's form.

Excellent for Custom Finishes

The untouched clear surface allows for precise masking and layered paint work so you can craft distinctive finishes or sponsor-style graphics with good coverage and definition.

Engineered for Tight Fitment

Contoured to suit 1/8 GT chassis profiles, the body offers accurate mount alignment and aerodynamic benefit when trimmed and secured correctly to the chassis.

Most 1/8 GT frames will accept this shell with minimal trimming. Check wheelbase and post placement, then plan minor cuts for wheel wells and mounting slots.
Yes, the clear polycarbonate is straightforward to mask and paint. Use spray paints made for lexan/polycarbonate and build up thin coats for the best finish.
It offers solid durability for club and track sessions. While not indestructible, its construction helps limit cracking and damage compared to thinner bodies.
Clean the shell with isopropyl alcohol before masking, use low-pressure spray technique, and allow full cure before handling or fitting to avoid marring the paint.
