Bittydesign Striker-SR 2.0 body

Bittydesign have introduced the new Striker-SR 2.0 190mm body which has been developed over the past months, with several tests on the “RC Landia” Italian Indoor facility. The result is a really fast bodyshell that combines steering efficiency together with the highest rear stability. It comes supplied with a big EFRA spec rear wing, however the body is not EFRA homologated, that provides the best balance between the front and rear of your car. Produced and sold only in a lightweight 0.75mm version, it comes complete with decals, windows masks, protection film and screws to fix the wing.

Bittydesign Force body for XB9

Bittydesign have released the new Force body for the Xray XB9 buggy. Recently shown at the Euros in Austria, the new body is a real good alternative to the existing stock body. Italian Xray Factory driver Alessandro Stocco used the new body during qualifying at the Euros and his impressions were really good saying the car had more steering in low speed corners but at same time was more stable on high speed turns compared to the standard body. The big fin on the roof and the rear engine ‘reverse scoop’ section complete the look of this new cab forward body. Made from high quality 1mm thick Lexan polycarbonate, it is sold with window masks, decal sheet and protective film.
