Hot Bodies R8 1/8th on-road car – Sneak Peek

After introducing the R10 200mm nitro on-road kit last year Hot Bodies now also re-enters the 1/8th class with the R8. Not much is known about the car that made a first appearance on the Facebook wall of Hot Bodies’ factory driver Teemu Leino today. By looking at the picture the car is of a pretty standard design with a slim main chassis, carbon fibre upper deck, front aluminium upper wishbone mounts but a standard front ‘blade’-type anti-roll bar whereas many of the competitors use wire-type assemblies today. It is understood that the R8 will make a first public appearance at next month’s World Championships in Japan.
