I've used primer on BCG/MS bodies as well as Mini Z bodies. I think on ether one you can get away with no primer. I just use the primer because it helps the paint stick better and to seal the surface as well. Just on a BCG/MS I try to lay the primer as thin as I can, just one or two quick coats. And on Mini Z's I lay it on about three coats, so I can sand it smoother.
The only RS car bodies that I worked with are the cheaper RC cars and I've had all kinds of problems with painting those (not XMODS or ZipZaps), like the paint attacking the plastic. I have a few that look like a road map. And yes I used primer to keep that from happening, it still did it.
