Bittydesign Type-6R 1/10th formula bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign have introduced their new Type-6R bodyshell for 1/10th scale formula pan cars.

Made from genuine 0.75mm Lexan material the body also comes with a comprehensive pre-cut decal sheet to make sure even single colour paint jobs can be a crown pleaser and also included is a white driver helmet and suitable mounting material. The body is already available through Bittydesign’s own web store and it will become available world-wide by end of October.

Bittydesign tease new Formula bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign have released first teaser images of their forthcoming, yet unnamed, new Formula bodyshell. With the cockpit and air intake section appearing to be unchanged compared to the current Type-6C body, the nose section above the front wing seems to be of a more angled and contoured design. The side pod and rear shape details remains hidden so far meaning formula class fans have to wait for the official presentation, scheduled for the 18th of October, for full details and images of Bittydesign’s latest on-road bodyshell.

Bittydesign 8ight 4.0 Force bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign have introduced their new Force bodyshell for TLR’s 8ight 4.0. Purpose-designed to fit onto TLR’s latest incarnation of the 8ight buggy, the body is of a steering-enhancing cab forward design, it features a rear flap section for an overall increased downforce and a roof-top shark fin feature adds stability on high-speed straights. On top of this a side scoop makes way for the throttle and brake linkage, ensuring free movement. Also incorporated into the design is a stronger nose section, a point where the original body has a weak spot and that was addressed by Bittydesign by making it a 2-piece offering with separate nose piece. The body is made from 1mm high-quality Lexan material, it comes clear, and including window masks and a decal sheet.

Bittydesign tease new 190mm touring car bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign are currently teasing a new 190mm electric touring car bodyshell.

We bring you more information on the subject as soon as they become available.
