Team Orion team decal sheets

Team Orion have announced the release of 2 new decal sheets for adorning the body on your electric or gas powered car. The large decal sheet, which is a few centimeters bigger than A4, features lots of Team Orion logos for use on a light and dark background, and what is neat about this sheet is that each logo is tagged with the correct application for the that logo. So the large ones are for a truggy/buggy or on-road wing, while the smallest fits perfectly on a Mini-Z hood or sides as well as on the nose cone of the buggy. The second smaller sheet is for gas powered cars, and specifically Wasp CRF users, and again sports a number of different logos for different coloured backgrounds and applications.

MLC 1/8th Peugeot 908 bodyshell

MLC Peugeot 908 bodyshell

Seen at last weekend’s Trofeo MLC & Tornado, run at the RME ‘Lamberto Collari’ track to celebrate Collari’s 8 World Championship titles, was the new Peugeot 908 1/8th scale body shell from MLC. Made by Bergonzoni and already appearing on the EFRA list of approved body shells for the 1/8th class, this new shell is unusual in that it has a full cockpit. This aside, the body is essentially a Lola CanAm shell, albeit a bit more stable. The race itself was won by Lamberto, who of course was running the new shell, while the version shown above belongs to Andrea Pirani who finished 3rd.
