Exotek P-Zero GT USGT 190mm body shell

Coming from Exotek is the P-Zero GT 190mm USGT class body shell. Exotek’s first ever body for the highly competitive USGT/GT classes features an aggressive splitter, flared fenders, low slung hood, downforce inducing side skirts, compact cockpit and extra rear spoiler elements for the most aggressive aero package with minimal drag. The body has two trim lines marked on the bottom; one for low profile shock towers and the 2nd mark for extra low body mounting on cars such as the Awesomatix A700 and A800. The wing has also has two trim lines; one is the 10mm USGT legal trim line and the second is a 20mm trim line similar to sedan wings for extra downforce. Details such as the extra rear spoiler elements increases rear downforce to compensate for the small 10mm USGT wing regulation. Designed with ample tyre clearance in the wheel wells to mount the body low without rubbing the tyres and a specially shaped splitter provides steering while being durable thanks to the modified angles. The body set includes the 0.5mm clear unpainted polycarbonate body and wing, steel wing hardware, window masks, logo stickers and an instruction sheet.
