Exotek RC18R GT-Z body shell

New from Exotek for the Associated RC18R, is this GT-Z body shell, which not only looks good but also performs. This body screams performance with its high down force wing, sculpted fenders, sleek hood line and super low profile roof line. The GT-Z is designed with extra room in the wheel wells to eliminate wheel rub, a major downfall in the stock 18R bodies, which seriously destabilizes the handling. Add the included high down force wing and you’ll have the most balanced feel you’ve ever experienced with your 18R. Made in the USA of durable .03″.
