Bittydesign have introduced the new Striker-SR 2.0 190mm body which has been developed over the past months, with several tests on the “RC Landia” Italian Indoor facility. The result is a really fast bodyshell that combines steering efficiency together with the highest rear stability. It comes supplied with a big EFRA spec rear wing, however the body is not EFRA homologated, that provides the best balance between the front and rear of your car. Produced and sold only in a lightweight 0.75mm version, it comes complete with decals, windows masks, protection film and screws to fix the wing.

X Factory have released their new X-60CF stadium truck, an all carbon fiber Conversion Kit which transforms an AE T4.1 or T4 into a mid-motor X-60CF. A second Kit is also available to convert an existing X-60 to the new carbon fiber version. The new X-60CF has been seen testing at races all over the United States for three months now, and Team drivers love it. Both X-60CF Kits are complete with everything needed to convert the T4.1 or T4 to the new mid-motor truck or to convert the X-60 to carbon fiber. The conversion for the AE truck includes the great JConcepts designed and supplied body. The Kit to convert an X-60 is the lowest price Kit X-Factory has ever sold because so many parts are carried over; most drivers will do this conversion in less than two hours. The T4.1 conversion usually takes a bit over two hours.
