Pit lane / Bodies, Bumpers & Trim

Bodies, bumpers and trim for HYPER GO RC cars

The layer of a HYPER GO RC car that takes the scratches so the chassis underneath does not.

A shell body is armour that happens to be pretty. Ours come painted and trimmed with the holes already cut, so a cracked shell is a ten minute job with four body clips rather than an evening with a scalpel and a can of paint.

The 1601M and 1601D shells fit across the 1/16 range — H16GT, H16DR, H16BM and H16SC — in two liveries, which also makes them the cheapest way to tell two identical trucks apart on a shared track. Under the shell, the 16100 front bumper carries a three wire LED light bar that runs off the existing loom, and the 16281B pillars are the small moulded parts that snap first when a landing goes nose down.

The 1412A spoiler for the H14BM and 14210 is not decoration. At 1/14 scale and 50 mph the rear wing is doing measurable work on the back axle, and a truck missing one feels loose over crests.

A shell is armour that happens to be pretty

The painted body does real work. It deflects the first strike, keeps grit off the receiver and the speed control, and spreads a landing across the pillars instead of through the chassis plate.

Ours arrive painted and trimmed with the holes already cut, so a cracked shell is a ten minute job with four body clips rather than an evening with a scalpel and a can of paint.

Two liveries across the 1/16 range

The 1601M and 1601D shells both fit the H16GT, H16DR, H16BM and H16SC. Same mounting, different paint. On a shared track that is also the cheapest way to tell two identical trucks apart at forty miles an hour.

Keep the old shell when you replace one. A scuffed body is the right thing to run in the wet, and it means a cracked pillar never stops an afternoon.

Bumpers and the LED light bar

The 16100 front bumper carries a three wire LED light bar that runs off the loom already in the car. There is no extra battery and nothing to splice — the plug is there waiting under the shell.

The bumper is also a sacrificial part. It is moulded to flex and then break at a known point, which is a design decision rather than a failure.

Pillars, clips and the parts that snap first

The 16281B front body pillars are the small moulded posts the shell sits on. They are the first thing to go in a nose down landing and the easiest to overlook, because a car with a broken pillar still drives — it just rattles and wears the shell through at one corner.

Body clips live in the screw kits. Buy a bag before you lose the third one, because you will.

The H14BM spoiler does measurable work

At 1/14 scale and fifty miles an hour, the 1412A rear wing is not decoration. It loads the back axle, and a truck missing one feels loose over crests and twitchy under braking.

Fit it with the supplied hardware and do not overtighten. The mounting tabs are the weak point and a crushed tab will crack on the first landing.

Matching paint and finding the right shell

Liveries change between production runs, so the shell on a car bought two years ago may not have an exact match today. The filter on this shelf lists by chassis rather than by colour for that reason.

If an exact match matters, write to us with the model code and the date on the box before you order. We would rather tell you the truth than send a near miss.

Which shell suits which chassis

The 1601M and 1601D shells share mounting across the 1/16 cars — the H16GT, the brushed monster truck, the H16BM and the H16SC. The 16100 bumper with its LED light bar and the 16281B pillars belong to the same family. The 1412A spoiler is a 1/14 scale part for the H14BM and the 14210.

A body is the cheapest protective layer on a brushless 4WD vehicle. It takes the first strike, keeps grit off the receiver and the speed control, and spreads a landing through the pillars rather than through the chassis plate.

Liveries, versions and the filter

Paint changes between production runs, so this shelf is filtered by chassis rather than by colour. A card without a price is a limited gap between batches; the shell itself has not been dropped.

The size to check is the wheelbase, not the look. Two shells that photograph identically can be cut for different versions of the same car, and the mounting holes will tell you within ten seconds.

Before you order a shell

If an exact match to an older car matters, please send the model code and the date printed on the box. We would rather give you that data than ship a near miss.

Our customer address is in the footer. Owners who have reviewed a shell badly for colour almost always bought across a production change, and one message would have caught it.

A shell is part of the structure

On an MJX HYPER GO car the body is the first protective layer and the last thing most owners think about. It keeps grit away from the receiver and the speed control, it carries the LED bumper, and it sets how much of a landing reaches the suspension through the pillars.

The H16PL and the 1/16 trucks share that arrangement, which is why the same shell set covers several model codes. A cracked shell does not stop a car yet, but it changes how the wheels and tires are loaded on the next landing, and that is where the real damage happens.

What we do when a part is wrong

Our services are simple. Tell us what came in the box and what you expected, and our first action is to secure the right item rather than to argue about the last one. The contact address in the footer reaches a person who can see the stock.

Performance parts on the motor shelf and the charging cables on the battery shelf ship in the same parcel if you order them together, which saves a second wait when a repair turns out to be larger than it looked.
