Off-the-Hwal turns clear Lexan shells into custom painted RC bodies that stand out on the track and on the shelf. Each custom airbrush RC body is painted from the inside out, with schemes ranging from flames and tribals to candy fades and full character illustrations. It’s custom RC artwork built for showpiece, trophy, and display bodies as much as for race day.
