Avalon Vortex Touring Car Body
New German RC start-up Avalon Racing has unveil its upcoming Vortex 1:10 Electric Touring Car Body Shell releasing a number of renders of its first creation. Established by Andy Kühne and Julius Schaefer, they say the Vortex is an all-new, high-performance polycarbonate bodyshell designed from the ground up. Developed entirely in Germany using state-of-the-art 3D CAD technology and validated through extensive on-track testing by various drivers, they say Vortex is set to become a serious contender for competitive drivers seeking measurable aerodynamic gains. Using a complete rethink of downforce and rotation, at the heart of the Vortex concept is a fundamental re-engineering of how downforce, rotation, and chassis responsiveness interact at the limit. The body’s signature ducktail rear design simultaneously reduces rotational inertia and generates strong, predictable downforce through corners — a combination that translates directly into higher corner speeds and more consistent lap times. A curved rear wing profile ensures optimal airflow and rear grip, while a wide rear wing adjustment range gives drivers the flexibility to fine-tune the setup for different track surfaces, grip levels, and driving styles. Additional geometric stiffness built into the body structure ensures that aerodynamic loads are transferred efficiently to the chassis. The EFRA-Homologated Avalon Vortex, which will be made in Germany, is scheduled for release in Spring 2026.
