Frogger Racing products Goblin bodyshell

British micro racer Carl Venter has been working in collaboration with Keith at Kamtec models to design the new ‘Goblin’ bodyshell for LRP Shark 1/18 buggies that have been modified with the longer SC chassis. The bodyshell is named after the Goblin shark (known for its sleek and unorthodox shape) and allows for maximum airflow to the electrics. Made out of 1mm top quality lexan the body is strong and sturdy and should stand up to the rigors of racing while protecting your expensive electrics inside. On it’s very first outing at the BRCA micro nationals Mark Stiles took the Goblin to TQ and first place in the A-final and in doing so wrapped up his second consecutive national title in the class.
