You might remember last week that we informed you about the new lightweight version of the Moore Speed Mazda 6 bodyshell. Well the diet seems to be spreading within Hot Bodies with the introduction of this new lightweight Dodge Stratus 190mm body shell, which like the other lightweight shells available are around 30 grams lighter than the standard versions.

Hot Bodies have released a lightweight version of their original Moore-Speed Mazda 6 190mm bodyshell. This new lighter version was made to help racers meet the new lower weight limits brought in following the change to 5 cell that dropped the minimum weight limit to 1350 grams. Features a slightly revised design to add structural strength due to the thinner lexan and also a newly designed rear wing to maximise downforce.

Another product from Hot Bodies that we had written about previously is the Moore-speed 2006 Mazda 6 MPS, which will soon go on sale, after being announced at the start of February. From its new air splitter to the revised rear spill plates, the Moore-speed 2006 Mazda 6 MPS is all-new and all about speed and handling. The front bumper, splitter, winglets, and the new bonnet bulge all enhance steering at high speed. A deep aero-channel from the windscreen to the rear deck improves air flow to the rear wing and new lip spoiler, while new bumper spill plates aid the exit of air from under the body.

Hot Bodies have announced that they will be soon shipping these new pre glued tyres, called Gumballs, which have been designed to be used as control tyres for 30T, 27T and 23T motor classes. Made using a compound that is very durable, yet provides sufficient grip, the Gumballs come pre mounted, with insert, on these durable white disc wheels. Also new from Hot Bodies is the release of a diff upgrade set for the Cyclone D4, with the main change being the use of a 2.6mm screw in place of the 2.0mm version that was originally available. This extra thickness on the diameter of the screw increases the durability of the differential.
