Xray XB2 ultra-lightweight Gamma 2D body

Xray have introduced an ultra-lightweight version of the XB2 Gamma 2D body designed especially for low traction conditions. Lower weight reduces the roll of the car and improves corner speed. The profile of the body improves the stability and increases downforce towards the rear of the car to help generate more traction for the car. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body for XB2D is designed to perfectly fit the car and work especially in low traction conditions. Specially designed to maximise rear down force to increase traction the front was designed to give optimal steering. The sides of the body and cockpit are as flat as possible to allow air to flow around the body for improved side stability. On the top of roof are two integrated flow channels for proper airflow. Made from high-quality premium Lexan material.

JConcepts A2R 190mm TC body

The JConcepts team is back with a follow-up to their A1R touring car body, with the release of the new A2R. The new drivers body has fundamental differences necessary for performance starting straight-away in the front-end area. The shrunken front-end is considerably laid-back, shortening the nose allowing the force to be placed over the front tires. A-pillar rails extend over the hood for some air deflection straight over the nose and strengthens the front wheel well area. The front windshield is tucked back inside the rails sunk and connected to the aggressive roofline giving the A2R its distinctive shape. Behind the front wheel well and in front of the rear wheel well is a definitive edge that strengthens the openings and also provides better race posture. A hard edge runs the bottom of the rocker-panel providing more grit to the design while also providing extra front to rear rigidity.
