Hot Bodies TCX option parts

Hot Bodies release a bunch of option parts for the TCX electric touring car in the form of a new narrow chassis, top deck, shock towers and more. The optional 2.5mm narrow chassis provides a more centralised location of the chassis components for improved performance while the 2.5mm upper deck is 0.5mm thicker than the standard deck for less torsional flex of the chassis on high-traction surfaces. To go along with the new chassis parts, Hot Bodies also release updated front and rear shock towers with shock mount holes that sit 2mm lower than on the standard items. The modifications give extra cornering grip and further tuning capabilities. Also available are new FR and RF pivot blocks with +0.5 and +1.0 degree settings, new rear pivot blocks with 3.5 and 4.0 degree settings and new 46mm universal drive shafts machines from high-quality steel for added durability.
