Bittydesign Force body for Mugen MBX7

Bittydesign have released their new Force body for the Mugen MBX7. The body has been developed and tested with the collaboration of 2012 IFMAR World Champion Robert Batlle. Having made its debut 2 weeks ago in France at the GP Montpellier, the feedback they have received back from the Spanish driver has been very positive. Designed to obtain the best balance, the result is a cab forward body style in addition to a reverse side scoop on the back which generates high downforce giving the car a nimble feeling while at the same time more stability. As usual the body is produced using 1mm original Lexan polycarbonate and it comes complete with protection film, decal sheet and windows mask. BD also produce rear mud guards for the same car to complete the factory look.

JConcepts T4.2 Finnisher 1/10th truck body

Seen at last weekend’s JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals, the new Finnisher 1/10th truck body for the T4.2 racing truck is now available. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the redesigned front-end T4.2 geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the T4.2 body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.
