Method RC Mirage TLR 22 body

Method RC have released their Mirage body for the TLR 22 in both mid and rear motor configurations. The compact proportions of the Mirage lower the overall vehicle weight and center of gravity, improving performance. The blade-like styling complements the narrow and angular chassis, while also enhancing aerodynamic performance and overall downforce moving the centre of pressure forward to help steering feel without giving up forward bite. The nose tucks tightly behind the front shock towers to reduce profile drag of the body.
