ZooRacing Jackal 1:10 190mm Touring Car Body

RC-KleinKram owned ZooRacing has released its latest competition 1:10 190mm Electric Touring Car body the Jackal.  Utilising their latest insights, the Jackal delivers significant improvements in downforce, stability, and overall handling with increased aerodynamic efficiency for enhanced cornering stability and sharp rotation, it provides a dynamic and stable driving experience in modified and also stock racing.  Several design innovations have been incorporated into the Jackal to ensure it excels in all different racing environments.  To enhance high-speed steering precision, both the front and hood have been redesigned.  The front has less edges and a much more efficient design for a perfect laminar airflow. The side contours have been strategically shaped to direct airflow over the rear wheel arches, optimising the aerodynamic pressure differential and increasing downforce.  The rear end is designed with an extra large spoiler to minimise turbulences and increase downforce.  Its narrow-shaped waist design reduces the frontal surface area, allowing for faster acceleration and better agility in tight corners.  Aerodynamic efficiency is maximised through an elongated roofline that reduces drag and improves stability at high speeds.  The ZOOlite molding process used in the Jackal reduces the weight of the standard 0.7mm body shell by approximately 10 grams.  The Jackal is also available in the lightweight ULTRALIGHT 0.5mm version, while for super high grip tracks and hardcore modified racing there is 0.4mm AIRLIGHTversion.
