🏎️ RC Car Body Shell for SG 16101PRO / 16102PRO
I picked this RC car shell mainly to give my old SG 16101PRO a fresh, rugged look. The original shell was beat up from months of bashing, and this one stood out for its aggressive design and vibrant paint job. It looked promising in the listing photos, and I was curious to see if the real thing would match up.
Shipping was smooth — it arrived in about two weeks, which is decent for AliExpress. The shell was well-packed and came with a protective film to prevent scratches. Right out of the box, the build quality surprised me. The plastic isn’t too thin or flimsy — it actually feels durable enough for off-road sessions. The holes aligned nicely with my chassis, and I didn’t need to drill anything.
Pros:
-
Sleek design with glossy finish
-
Decent durability for rough terrain
-
Pre-cut and easy to mount
Cons:
-
A bit of overspray in one corner of the paint
-
No decals included (I had to reuse old ones)
At around $14, this shell is about half the price of similar shells on Amazon or hobby stores in the US — and honestly, the quality is right up there. It definitely exceeded expectations.
US $5.1

🔧 Flexible Rubber Body Clips with Retainer
If you’ve ever lost a body clip mid-run, you know how annoying it is. I grabbed these rubber retainer body clips after one too many trail-side scavenger hunts. The idea is simple: attach the clips to your RC car using the included rubber tethers so you never lose them again.
Delivery was fast, and they came in a pack of eight. Installing them took less than 5 minutes, and they’ve held up well on both my MJX and HBX rigs. I’ve flipped the car a few times and haven’t lost a single clip.
Pros:
-
Elastic and durable
-
Works on multiple models
-
Bright colors make clips easy to spot
Cons:
-
Rubber loops stretch slightly over time
-
Not ideal for extreme speed runs (can flap around)
Price-wise, I paid about $3.50, which is a steal compared to US hobby shops that charge $8–$10 for similar kits. These were a small upgrade that made a big difference. Solid buy.
US $1.9

🛠️ MJX Hyper Go 14301-14303 Car Shell Mods
I bought this modified shell set for my MJX Hyper Go 14301 because I wanted to customize the look without breaking the bank. The kit includes the shell and several clip and mount accessories for tuning.
When it arrived, I was impressed by how clean the mold was. The plastic is semi-flexible — not brittle, which is good for bashing. I had to tweak the fit slightly, but nothing major. It gave my car a whole new personality.
Pros:
-
Good fit and finish
-
Quality plastic with impact resistance
-
Includes extra accessories
Cons:
-
Mounting requires slight adjustment
-
Some parts not clearly labeled
At $10, it’s cheaper than anything I could find stateside, especially for a shell that fits this model perfectly. Very satisfied.
US $25.48

🔩 Metal Upgrade Assembly Kit for MN82 / LC79 / MN78
This front and rear axle metal upgrade kit was something I got to strengthen my MN82 rig. Stock parts are fine for beginners, but they wear out fast under heavy crawling.
The kit came with everything: front and rear axles, diff housings, steering components — all CNC aluminum alloy. Installation took a bit of patience (lots of tiny screws), but the fitment was great overall.
Pros:
-
Significantly increases durability
-
Better weight distribution for crawling
-
Clean machining and strong materials
Cons:
-
Installation not beginner-friendly
-
Instructions are vague
I paid around $25 — half the price of comparable parts from brands like Axial. Performance-wise, it’s night and day. This upgrade was well worth the time and money.
US $30.38

🏗️ Brass Body Lift Kit for MN82 / LC79
I ordered this brass column lift kit because I wanted to raise the body and fit oversized tires on my MN82 LC79. I didn’t expect much, but wow — the brass feels premium and adds noticeable weight, improving center of gravity for crawling.
Installation was straightforward. All hardware was included, and the threading was clean. It worked perfectly with the earlier metal upgrade kit I installed.
Pros:
-
Excellent weight for added traction
-
Solid brass, not alloy
-
Precise machining
Cons:
-
Adds weight (which might not be ideal for speed builds)
-
No installation guide
For $7, this was a fantastic upgrade. US brands charge $15–20 for brass lift kits of similar quality. If you’re into crawling, this is a must.
US $0.99

⛺ RC Roof Tent for 1/10 and 1/12 Crawlers
I picked up this scale roof tent purely for aesthetics on my MN86S. I love realistic RC builds, and this one adds a ton of character.
It came fully assembled, with tiny straps and realistic detailing — zippers, buckles, the works. The canvas feels like actual tent fabric. I mounted it using Velcro so I can remove it during performance runs.
Pros:
-
Super detailed and realistic
-
Perfect for scale builds
-
Lightweight
Cons:
-
Not waterproof
-
Can affect vehicle balance on steep inclines
For under $10, it’s a bargain. Similar products in the US can cost $25+. This one’s purely cosmetic, but it makes the truck look awesome.
US $7.82

📏 Metal Shell Height Pillars for MN82 / LC79
These height-increasing aluminum pillars are designed to give more clearance for taller tires. I combined them with the brass kit earlier, and they worked beautifully together.
They feel solid in hand and hold the body shell securely without rattling. They also helped eliminate tire rub during flex-heavy crawls.
Pros:
-
Sturdy build
-
Exact fit for 1/12 MN models
-
Anodized finish looks clean
Cons:
-
Only comes in one height option
-
Needs longer screws (not included)
Price was just under $6 — can’t beat that. In the US, you’d easily spend $12+ on this kind of mod part.
US $0.99

🚗 WLtoys 124008 Spare Parts Kit
I’ve got a WLtoys 124008 brushless rig, and I bought this spare parts kit as a backup: dogbones, chassis protectors, ESC, motor, and more. It’s basically a repair kit in one package.
Everything came in bubble wrap and looked new. I tested the motor and ESC — both worked fine. Haven’t needed to install them yet, but I’m glad I have this set ready to go.
Pros:
-
All essential spare parts included
-
Saves time and shipping when you break stuff
-
Compatible with 124008 without mods
Cons:
-
No instruction sheet
-
Packaging is basic
At around $20, this was a smart investment. Buying these parts individually in the US would easily cost $40+.
US $0.99
Overall Thoughts
Honestly, I was pretty surprised by the quality across the board. I expected some duds, but every product I ordered was well-built, arrived in good condition, and worked as intended. The price-to-performance ratio on AliExpress continues to beat US-based options, especially for niche RC parts. If you’re into modifying or upgrading your RCs, these are absolutely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be ordering more — and probably trying out some scale accessories next.
