C-Pub professional on-road body stickers

C-Pub from France have announced the release of their new body shell stickers for 1/8th and 1/10th scale on-road bodies. The stickers are professionally printed on ultra-light liner material and they are fuel-proof without the need for a clear protection layer, making them very light weight with a set of 1/8th scale body stickers weighing in at only about 8g. In addition the stickers are very thin, allowing easy wrapping around contours and curves. The stickers allow to create colourful body shell designs in minutes and they comply with ETS body colour rules. The stickers are also very easy to apply as the glue allows to shift the decals around and it only cures once the stickers are in place and pressed on. In addition to the readily available designs C-Pub also offers custom designs.

ZooRacing Zoodiac 190mm GT body shell

The Zoodiac GT body shell for 190mm touring cars is ZooRacing’s latest high performance 1/10th scale on-road body shell and the brand’s first go on the popular GT market. The goal was to create a stylish yet efficient body with advanced aerodynamics while still offering a somewhat scale look to ensure the body meets all current GT/USGT class rules. The lid features a low-slung silhouette to which sports sculptured fender sections that give plenty of room even for larger GT class tyres while the low-profile front hood section optimises the airflow around the fenders and towards the huge windscreen. The latter is designed to offer a slight cab forward design for best possible airflow towards the rear trunk section and rear wing. Going towards the rear of the body, the newly designed side pods not only add to the overall structure of the shell, they also add visual impact and help to balance the overall downforce by offering a slight upwards sweep. The somewhat simple rear trunk lid design helps with undisturbed airflow towards the rear wing, that was designed to meet all GT class rules. The wing is moulded with two cut lines, a standard 10mm section and a taller “outlaw” marking for increased downforce.
