HB EU Moore-Speed Reynard 02S body

We only briefly mentioned the new EU Moore-Speed Reynard 02S 1/12th scale body in one of our Daily round ups last week, because we had written about it back in February, but today we see that the body will actually be available in 2 different versions, normal and lightweight. Designed for high cornering speeds, this body shell features a sculpted front end and mid section to direct air over the gentle curves of this single-focus body shell giving you superb high speed stability and performance on the straight. Moulded from crystal clear polycarbonate, it features clear over spray film and a decal sheet with headlights and Hot Bodies logos.

Xray Buggy wing sticker sets

Xray Buggy wing stickers

More new products from Xray with the release of these rather cool looking buggy wing stickers that are suitable for the company’s 1/8 off-road cars – Xray XB8, XB8TQ, XB8EC & XT8. These new flashy Fire-Stylin’ full-colour graphic sets for Xray rear wings make a bright and bold visual statement, setting your car apart from the crowd.

For easy application, the stickers are die-cut so you just have to peel off the sticker and apply to the body. These new stickers have an extra bold outer outline to make the XRAY and XB8 logos stand out and be highly visible from a distance. Available in various luminous cool colors to match every different paint scheme of the buggy or truggy, as well as matching the different-colored XRAY wings.

Protoform DNA3 200mm body shell

Protoform have finally released photos of their new high downforce 200mm DNA³ body shell, a body style previously only available for 190mm electric cars. In spite of numerous modifications to optimize the body for nitro sedan racing, the signature DNA style remains, from its bold front splitter to its large real wing there’s no doubt that this is a serious racing body design. Made to fit all 200mm nitro sedan chassis, the body and its supplied wing meet all ROAR and IFMAR rule requirements. Supplied with a protective film, wing mounting hardware, decals and window masks, the DNA³ is formed in genuine Lexan to provide durability for this ultra-fast racing class.

RMV Symbio Kyosho STR body

Last weekend at the NRW-Cup in Dormagen, Thorsten Wedemeyer photographed the Reckward brothers testing this new truggy body shell called the Symbio. Fitted on 2 long wheelbase Kyosho ST-R’s, but suitable for a number of different chassis’, the new body was still being tested by RMV and when completed will look slightly different to those in the pictures. The main stand out feature is the rear air scoops which channel airflow to the rear wing, presumably helping with balance while in flight.

Moore-Speed Mazda 6 Lightweight

Hot Bodies have released a lightweight version of their original Moore-Speed Mazda 6 190mm bodyshell. This new lighter version was made to help racers meet the new lower weight limits brought in following the change to 5 cell that dropped the minimum weight limit to 1350 grams. Features a slightly revised design to add structural strength due to the thinner lexan and also a newly designed rear wing to maximise downforce.

Rony T-530 & Serpent 720 parts

Rony T-530

Japanese company Rony have released a number of new parts today, first of which is the new thicker version of the T-530 1/8th scale CanAm body that we showed you previously. Meeting customer demands, this new version is made from 1.0mm thick polycarbonate, as opposed to the original 0.8mm thick that the original version was made from, thus making it more stable and stronger. Also released by Rony is a number of carbon fiber optional parts for the Serpent 720 such as a new radio plate, front and rear shock towers, top rear anti roll bar plate, brake plate and rear camber link plate. All new parts are super light and where applicable they sport more tuning holes and machining too.
