Most TC at this level do not come with a body. The reson why supply a body that can or can not be used? TC can race on carpet (foam and rubber) and of course asphalt. So many bodies so little time.
The car will come with a ton of things that allow you to dial it in. The biggest thing is what body. AE allows you the driver to pick the body that best works for your racing scene (carpet/asphalt)
RTR come with a body but they are for people just gettin started
Hope that helps

oh that makes sense i was just wondering because my tc4 kit came with a body and just needed to know what i need for when the tc5 comes out. I don't have to use tape to hold batteries in the tc5 right?

No tape, unless you want to. The TC5 comes with a carbon battery strap and also has battery retainers on the side which is a great addition.
I'm sure that lots of drivers will use tape though. If you have the battery slots filed out right there is little chance of losing the battery
