Overview of the Tamiya 51359 GT-R R35 Polycarbonate Shell

RC builders seeking a faithful Nissan GT-R R35 outline will appreciate the Tamiya 51359 polycarbonate body. Cut for the TT-01 short wheelbase, the shell gives a clean fit and a factory-style silhouette for track or display cars.

Features That Improve Scale Appeal

Material: Constructed from resilient polycarbonate at 1.0mm thickness to balance durability with lightweight performance.
Light Integration: Includes ABS-plated light cases designed to accept both 5mm and 3mm LEDs for authentic lighting effects.
Accessories Included: Supplied with decals, masking seals and metal fixing parts to aid mounting and finishing.
Chassis Compatibility: Built to suit the TT-01 chassis in its short wheelbase specification for straightforward installation.

Can I trim the body to fit a slightly different chassis?

Yes, careful trimming around the mounts and wheel arches can allow fitment on similar short wheelbase platforms. Mark and test fit progressively to avoid overcutting.

Are the light cases ready to accept LEDs out of the box?

The ABS light cases are supplied ready to mount LEDs, but LEDs and wiring are sold separately. Use 3mm or 5mm LEDs with simple resistors or a light controller for best results.

What paint works best on this polycarbonate body?

Use paint formulated for polycarbonate bodies and apply multiple thin coats. The included masking seals help protect trim areas and create sharp panel lines.

Will adding LEDs affect handling due to extra weight?

LEDs and light cases add minimal weight; they rarely change handling noticeably. Place batteries and heavier components to retain the car's balance.
