Flexible Parts for Custom Builds

For RC hobbyists wanting more shaping options, the Tamiya 70159 3mm Clear Soft Plastic Beams are a flexible choice. The material is a resin blended with synthetic rubber, so the beams bend far beyond rigid plastics and can be flexed up to 180 degrees without failure, allowing creative curves and custom profiles in your models.

Practical Uses for Modders and Kitbashers

These clear beams are excellent when you need to form nonstandard shapes, add subtle trim, or create structural elements that require some give. Their transparency keeps detailing discreet while giving you the ability to fasten, bend, and integrate with existing chassis and bodywork.

Use flexible plastic-compatible primers and acrylic model paints; scuff the surface lightly first and test on a scrap piece to confirm adhesion.
Gentle heat can make forming easier but avoid high temperatures; apply low, even heat and bend gradually to prevent distortion.
Mechanical fasteners like small screws or rivets work well; for adhesives, prepare the surface by sanding and choose a glue rated for flexible plastics.
