HemiStorm Addict Baja 5B bodyshell

HemiStorm have the new Addict bodyshell for the HPI Baja 5B large scale buggy available. Made from high-quality 1.5mm polycarbonate the 5-piece body is of a somewhat different shape compared to the kit body in order to give the 5B a fresh new look. First up are longer sidepods that keep away dust and debris from the crucial parts such as the clutch and pullstart. Additional width ensures sufficient cooling while underneath the skid plate there is a stepped line allowing for extra ground clearance in rough terrain. The body panels also give enough room for Outerwear’s prefilter while the raised front makes it easier to run upgraded linkage setups or additional electronics. Also included with the body comes a paintable lightweight roof that replaces the stock aluminium roof piece.

Protoform Thirteen & Fourteen F1 bodies

Having shown us a preview of their new Formula 1 body shells about a month ago, Protoform have today released details and images on their new F1-Thirteen & F1-Fourteen bodies. The F1-Thirteen features styling from the 2013 season, including the high-nose and Coanda exhaust detailing. The F1-Fourteen features styling from the 2014 season, including the unique low nose and single turbo exhaust detailing. Racers have the option to add on the controversial extended nose cone with tape or shoo-goo (not included), or cut/black out the center section of the nose for a more conventional look. For both, the side-pod undercuts, an overall low-slung design and the included injection molded black nylon driver’s helmet give it the ultra-realistic look that F1 R/C racers strive for. The decal sheets, feature seat belts, steering wheel detail, car numbers and a variety of helmet visor colors, completes the scale detail. Both models fits most modern F1 chassis with the Thirteen requiring Tamiya’s F60 Front wing and the Fourteen needing Tamiya’s F2012 Front wing.
