RC Maker TC & 1/12th anti-tuck stiffeners

Coming from RC Maker are their new anti-tuck body stiffeners for the Protoform Turismo, the ZooRacing range of bodies as well as 1/12th scale pan car lids. Starting with the touring car stiffeners, the new Lite V2 design introduces an even more compact, efficient way of integrating wing mounting and anti tuck components. This system prevents body tucks behind the rear wheel arch during racing, as well as inconsistencies on high speed tracks and in windy conditions, causing the bodyshell to vibrate. The new V2 Lite’s weigh in at only 5g for the pair, this lightweight strut only requires one additional M3 screw other than the wing mounting screw to secure the strut behind the wheel arch. The design also features extra material that sits in the vertical part of the wing strut. In crashes this section of the bodyshell can often crush or deform, and is unable to be repaired. The brace fixes this and prevents deformation in this area, ensuring the body lasts longer.

Pro-Line have introduced the iconic 1969 Chevrolet Nova body specifically designed for the growing SC drag racing scene. This body is perfect for no-prep drag racing and features an ultra-realistic one-piece body design and includes an optional add on spoiler to complete the drag racing look. It helps to transform a Traxxas Slash 2WD SC truck into a scale ¼-mile beast with this retro hardtop sports coupe body, featuring all the scale details of the full-scale counterpart. Pro-Line recommend using their Hoosier 2.2” drag racing front tyres on the front and Hoosier drag slick SC 2.2”/3.0” drag racing tyres in the rear combined with a set of their Pomona drag spec wheels for the ultimate scale hot-rod look. In order to create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body and will require some modifications to the 2WD Slash to fit correctly.
