Protoform P909 1/8th scale body shell

Protoform have released a teaser image of their newest 1/8th scale on road body shell, called the P909. From the picture we can see it features a cockpit similar to the MLC 908, and the body appears to have high side walls and deep side indents behind the front wheel arch, like the European Championship winning Xceed Zytek, as well as stiffening ribs along the length of the top side of the shell. We will bring you more information upon release.

Hot Bodies Moorespeed 908 bodyshell

Hot Bodies, under the Moorespeed label, have released this new 908 bodyshell, which has been designed for 1/12th scale circuit racing. This totally new design was developed from the ground up to be the ideal bodyshell for a wide range of racers and tracks. The air rushing over the bodyshell starts at the ground-level splitter and is forced over the front wheels and around the closed cockpit by sculpted flow channels. Ridges over the front wheels disrupt the air just enough to break it loose over the wheel arches until it flows back down slightly over the middle section of the body. The closed cockpit area helps stabilize the air as it rushes over the midsection, which hugs the battery and electronics area of the car chassis as closely as possible. As the air meets the rear wheels, further ducting and vertical supports direct the air over the rear spoiler, where a huge amount of downforce is created. Molded from crystal clear polycarbonate, it features clear overspray film, a pre-cut vinyl window mask sheet, and a decal sheet with headlights and Hot Bodies logos. Also available in lightweight version.
