Blitz AC10 & Altis 2.3e 190mm touring car body shells

Blitz have introduced their new AC10 and Altis 2.3e body shells for 190mm touring cars. Starting with the all-new AC10, the body was designed for both carpet and asphalt racing with the special feature being marked mounting positions – neutral 0mm, forward +3mm and +6mm. The neutral 0mm position is recommended for initial setup on high traction carpet surface, while the forward +3mm position is recommended initial setup on outdoor asphalt. Additional steering feel and response can be achieved by mounting the body even more forward if needed. The body is made from high quality polycarbonate and it comes in regular 0.8mm, 0.7mm light and 0.5mm ultra-light thickness and including window masks, decals, wings and mounting hardware.

JConcepts 1988 Chevy Silverado “Snoop Nose” MT body

Made for all 13″ wheelbase monster trucks is JConcepts’ new 1988 Chevy Silverado Snoop Nose body shell. JC revives a cult favourite with a completely redesigned body for solid axle monster truck racing. The 13″ wheelbase is perfect for the solid runners in today’s racing and with a proportioned width and “snoop nose”, the Chevy is a cut above the rest. The tucked front nose provides clearance for an assortment of tyres such as the Renegades and Firestorms while the shaved front and rear bumper faces the competition like a fighting bull. The main structure of the body remains a genuine Chevrolet style used from 1988 to 1998 and deep down represents the Heartbeat of America generation. The body comes clear, including paint mask for all windows and detailed Chevy and JConcepts logo decal sheet.

Protoform Type-S & MS7 190mm TC body shells

Protoform have introduced their long-awaited Type-S and MS7 190mm electric touring car body shells. First up is the aggressively shaped Type-S, a high downforce body for modified classes or any other track condition or class where more grip is needed. It was shaped to offer ultra-precise steering characteristics and superior rear grip and was extensively tested to handle track surfaces such as ETS carpet, outdoor or indoor asphalt, even the new high-grip CRC black carpet. With PRO-Lite bodies now being the standard for indoor carpet racing, the overall stiffness of the body was taken into consideration. Added ridges along the hood, a-pillar and trunk bed provide rigidity even in thinner materials giving less body tuck and less flex while not sacrificing performance. A small deck lid spoiler also adds both rigidity and rear grip. The critical tuning aid of body positioning is once again made easier with mounting marks inside the front wheel arches. Positions for 0, +2mm, +4mm and +6mm are scribed in for convenience. The Type-S is Global Body Spec compliant and fully EFRA (#4056) and ROAR approved and it is available in both lightweight and PRO-lite weight. Included are a Protoform decal sheet, window masks, overspray film and metric wing mounting hardware.

JConcepts MBX7R Strike 3 buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new Strike 3 body shell for the Mugen MBX7R buggy. The body samples elements from its famous relatives the Finnisher, Silencer and Striker but packs a slightly refined image. The base enhancements to the design come from the parallel to chassis side pods, that look traditional with 1/8th buggies of the past. A large rear-end winglet has been added to aid in the rear traction stability as well as stopping force. The offset of the race proven shell provides a compact fit for fuel tank, linkage and air filter assembly while the heavy channeling on the front windshield keeps the Strike 3 aligned at high-speed. Just behind the engine head, a sleek up-rising flows from the body like running water and a sharp rise in the rear wicker blocks flow to the rear tower and redirects to the rear wing area. The clear body set includes window templates and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit for the MBX7R.
