Bittydesign have introduced their first body shell for the growing 1/10th FWD touring car class, the HC-F.

The body is a universal fit for all 1/10th 190mm FWD and touring cars on the market and it comes moulded from high-quality Lexan polycarbonate material, it includes lightweight wing mounting hardware as well as window masks and a detailed decal sheet that allows to create an eye-pleasing design while only using a single colour.
Leadfinger Racing now offers a new look for the popular Kyosho Lazer ZX7 1/10 scale 4WD buggy in the form of the A2 Tactic body shell. The new A2 is influenced by racer request form the previous 1/8 designs, giving it an aggressive, yet sleek style unlike any other. The windshield has been laid down slightly to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The combo gives the ZX7 a super slick and fast look. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for superior cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing its one of a kind style and performance. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The body comes in clear with window masks and stickers provided as well as two LFR Tactic wings included.
Coming from Pro-Line and available for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 and Arrma Kraton 1/8th scale monster trucks is the pre-cut Brute body shell. The Brute is Pro-Line’s take on a modern truck and features a bold grill with eye-pleasing body lines sure to turn heads at the local bash spot. This bodies have been specifically designed to fit the unique shapes of the E-Revo 2.0 and the Kraton while allowing to add a custom paint job to the trucks. Window masks, detailed decal sheet and paint then peel over-spray film are all included. The pre-cut bodies help to get on the track sooner, as they only need to be painted and fitted with the annoying task of trimming being already carried out.
Kyosho have announced the soon release of a front wing mount set for their Ultima RB7 buggy. The set includes the front wing mount, that attaches to the front shock tower, as well as mounting hardware. Not included is the necessary front wing. Generally using a front wing will keep the vehicle more planted during fast cornering and while jumping, making it a nice feature to fine-tune the buggy’s aero package.

Coming from rconDesign is the new Siren 190mm FWD touring car body shell. It resembled an Asia-style hot hatch and will fit most FWD and all-wheel drive touring car chassis on the market. The body is made of high-quality 0.8mm and it comes including a rear wing, mounting hardware and a detailed decal sheet.
ZooRacing from Germany is busy adding more groundbreaking 190mm touring car body shells to their line-up with the latest creation being the Hellcat. The goal was to create a more efficient body with advanced aerodynamics that allow for aggressive cornering and yet a nailed rear end. This was achieved by using a long front section with splitter that sits 10mm further forward while a round-shaped outer line ensures a smoother transition when changing directions as the air flows smoothly and constantly over the front splitter, fenders and grille. In addition to the splitter the windshield and cabin also sit 10mm further forward with the whole section being shaped like a drop for maximised rear grip and stability thanks to optimised airflow towards the rear wing. Smooth transitions from the hood over the cabin towards the rear lid ensure optimised aerodynamic efficiency and thus less turbulences and drag, which leads to equal front-to-rear balance at both low and high speeds.
