Following a couple of teasers on social media, Italian company Bittydesign has finally unveiled their all-new Iron body shell for 190mm touring cars. Developed in cooperation with an industrial designer the body combines scale looks, attention to detail and high performance. The multi-piece shell consists of the lower platform, the upper 2-piece cabin part and a rear 3D bumper skirt that adds weight, realism and air diffusor capabilities when needed. To this adds an additional rear wing that further helps with weight bias and downforce. The cabin can be built in two ways, rotational for improved scale realism with only a small opening in the rear, or fixed, with a large opening in order to reach the front body clips without having to lift the cabin. The body is a direct fit on Tamiya trucks and also usable with most 190mm width/260mm wheelbase touring car chassis and either standard touring car or Tamiya truck tyres.
Bittydesign’s recently introduced JP8HR 190mm touring car body shell is soon also available in an ultra-lite weight variant. Utilising the same shape as the regular weight body, the ULT variant scrubs a good amount of weight with a race ready body weighing in at about 68g to 71g. This will significantly lower the overall centre of gravity for less body roll, a more agile handling and further improved corner speed. The body comes made from genuine Lexan polycarbonate material and it includes a rear wing mounting set as well as window masks and a decal sheet.
