New WRC Formula bodyshell & tyres – Sneak Peek

Italian company WRC will soon have a new 1/10th Formula body and new tyres and wheels available. Little is known about the new parts beside what can be seen in the image but the body looks pretty 2015-ish with its low and channelled nose design while the tyres seem to make use of a lower profile tyre wall and larger diameter rims, resembling Pirelli’s 2014 18 inch test wheels. No release date is know yet but we bring you more information as soon as they surface.

Zen wide & narrow Formula front wings

Zen have new front wings for 1/10th Formula cars available. First up is the wide type with a width of 170mm, suitable for more modern Formula cars while the narrow type offers a width of 130mm which makes them especially useful for 1980’s and 1990’s cars. Both are designed for low-nose bodyshells and the simple design and pre-drilled 2.6mm mounting holes allow the use of add-on polycarbonate wings. Both the wide and narrow wings are available in black or white colour.

Pro-Line NT48 Enforcer bodyshell

Tailor-made for Tekno RC’s NT48 1/8th scale nitro truggy is Pro-Line’ latest Enforcer-seried bodyshell. From the mind of Ty Tessmann and inspired from the success of the Type-R buggy body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the body is steeper to create more downforce over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. On top of that the body is meant to be more durable than the kit body, allowing you to hit the track harder. As usual the body comes made from high-quality clear Lexan material and including window masks and decal sheets.
