Team Titan Blitz Cruzer & ISF2.1 bodies

Following on from the releases by Team Titan two days ago, they have today released two new 200mm Blitz bodies. Starting with the Cruzer it was designed for maximum grip while also giving very quick steering, great for small tight tracks. Next up is the 2.1 version of the ISF shell, this new type is 10mm shorter and has reduced front end down force to give it less initial steering together with smooth handling, great for large open tracks with big sweeping corners. Both bodies are available in standard 0.8mm and lightweight 0.7mm versions.
