East Coast Bodies have released their new ‘Alpha design series’ 1/8 Off Road body shells, starting with this version for the World Champion Hot Bodies D8 buggy. The new ‘Alpha’ design D8 shell features improvements to the top end of the body with a low curve which give you a much smoother handling together with a newly implemented ‘Vortex Generator’ that provides a great look and actually improves downforce at high speed and on jumps.

East Coast Bodies have released their latest shell, this time for the Durango DEX410, which they claim is an improvement in design over the original. The addition of the supplied front wing helps keep the front end on the ground when under power, while at the rear of the re-profiled main cockpit a kick up in front of the wing improves the jumping by making it more controllable in the air. The rear wing has also had some work with the bottom side featuring 3 new channels for air flow which again helps the car in high speed jumps.

East Coast Bodies now offer their 1/10th 200mm body shells, the Access 2.8 and Sciricco models, in half painted versions. ECB have taken the effort out of painting and mounting the body, by supplying the shell pre trimmed meaning you only need to back it with a single colour to complete the great carbon fibre layout with sharp orange look. This series of bodies has been made using new super-PC material which gives the body longer life, makes it last longer, more flexible and have less damage. Both bodies are supplied with a decal sheet, window mask as well as 3 different types of rear wing together with the wing end plates.
