The RPM 80683 Mock Mirror Turbo Set is a scale body accessory for many 1/8 to 1/12 RC vehicles, featuring left- and right-hand chrome turbo assemblies with recessed mounting plates plus interchangeable velocity stacks or mock air filters for custom street or race-style builds.

Features

  • Mirror Twin-Turbo Design: Includes one left-hand and one right-hand turbo for a balanced, symmetrical appearance
  • Scale Body Accessory: Designed to add exposed turbo detail to suitable RC car and truck bodies
  • Wide Scale Compatibility: RPM specifies fitment for many 1/8 through 1/12 scale bodies
  • Recessed Installation: Base and lock plates allow the turbos to sit partially through the body while remaining prominently visible
  • Two Intake Styles: Includes chrome velocity stacks and black mock air filters so the appearance can be changed to suit the build
  • Chrome and Black Finish: Turbo housings and velocity stacks are silver/chrome, while the base plates, lock plates and air filters are black
  • Optional Surface Mounting: Turbos can also be mounted directly to the body without the recessed base plates when suitable shorter screws are used

FAQ

Are RPM 80683 turbos functional? No. RPM specifies that these are mock turbo accessories for scale appearance only and do not function as real turbochargers.

Will RPM 80683 fit a 1/10 RC body? Yes, provided the body has a suitable mounting area. RPM rates the set for many 1/8 to 1/12 scale bodies, which includes typical 1/10 applications.

Do I need to cut holes in the body? The standard recessed installation requires body cut-outs using RPM's supplied template. RPM recommends relatively flat bonnet or hood areas because heavily curved surfaces may prevent the base plates from sitting flush.

Can the turbos be fitted without cutting large recessed openings? RPM states that the turbos may be mounted directly to the body without the recessed plates, but shorter mounting screws are required and are not included.

Do I have to use the velocity stacks? No. The kit includes both velocity stacks and mock air filters, allowing either intake style to be fitted to the turbo assemblies.

What tools are required for installation? RPM specifies that the supplied 3mm screws require a 2mm hex driver, which is not included.

Important Notes

  • RPM recommends installation on relatively flat body surfaces with minimal curves or contours
  • Standard recessed installation requires cutting the RC body; measure and test-position the supplied template before making permanent cuts
  • The turbo assemblies are decorative scale accessories only
  • A 2mm hex driver is required for the supplied mounting screws and is not included
  • Shorter screws required for the optional direct surface-mount method are not included
  • RC body, vehicle and other scale accessories are not included
