Pro-Line introduce new Bash Armor body shells

Coming from Pro-Line are two new Bash Armor series body shells for the Stampede 4×4 and Pro-MT 4×4 as well as the Slash 2WD and 4×4. The Brute body for the Stampede and Pro-MT as well as the Monster Fusion for the Slash 2WD and 4×4 are both made of Pro-Line’s all-new Bash Armor material that is twice as thick as regular 1:10 truck bodies and ultra-flexible to reduce the chance of cracking and shattering. Unlike clear polycarbonate, the Bash Armor material is white and is not paintable, so Pro-Line includes detailed decal sheets to complete the look.

Exotek R-Tek GT 190mm body shell

Coming from Exotek is the new R-Tek GT 190mm body shell for USGT and GT classes. The shell was designed with an aggressive splitter, muscular fenders, low slung hood, downforce inducing side skirts and a sports car cockpit for the most aggressive aero package with minimal drag. The body has two trim lines marked on the bottom; one for low profile shock towers and the 2nd mark for extra low body mounting on cars such as the Awesomatix A800. Also the wing has two trim lines; one 10mm USGT legal trim line and the second is a 20mm trim line similar to sedan wings for extra downforce. Details such as rearward mounted wing for scale looks actually increases downforce while reducing drag and the body was designed with ample tyre clearance in the wheel wells to mount the body low without rubbing the tyres. Specially shaped splitter provides steering while being durable thanks to the modified angles and raised wing pedestals places the wing higher up into cleaner air. The body is made from 0.7mm premium polycarbonate for improved durability compared to other similar thickness polycarbonate. Included come steel wing mounting hardware, window masks and a detailed sticker sheet.

ZooRacing ZooZilla 190mm touring car body shell

RC-KleinKram from Germany have announced their new ZooRacing performance body shell brand ZooRacing. The first body to hit stores is the ZooZilla 190mm touring car body shell. Developed to produce medium overall downforce with lots of steering and great rear end stability the all-round body is the ideal choice for both carpet and outdoor tracks. The shell sports a couple of aero features such as a steep front end for on-the-point steering precision while the recessed roof section channels the airflow towards the rear wing for exceptional rear end stability at both low and high speeds. Angled vortex generators, placed strategically above the rear window, are a first-ever for an electric touring car body, and they help to smooth the airflow over the rear window, trunk and rear wing for greatly improved aerodynamic efficiency, lower drag and more predictable rear downforce.
