German based MSE Performance Parts has released this set of ultra strong re-usable body stiffeners for 1:8 Onroad. Cut from 2.0mm carbon fibre, the front, centre, and middle stiffeners are designed for use with the popular Super Diablo/ Hyper Diablo from Italian body manufacturer Xtreme Aerodynamics.
Mikimodel, the Yokomo distributor for Italy, has announced it is to produce its own range of special parts and optional for the Japanese manufacturer’s cars. The first optional produced is this Body stopper for the BD12/BD11 1:10 Electric Touring Car which is also compatible with the older BD10 and BD9. The stopper leans against the bodywork in the front part of the bodywork to prevent it from deforming due to incoming air flows. This system therefore preserves the bodywork from deforming and losing its aerodynamic characteristics. Equipped with an upper adjustment screw, it allows you to find the correct height with all the bodies on the market.
