Phat Bodies VTCR FWD touring car body shell

Phat Bodies from the UK have introduced their new VTCR body shell for 1/10th scale front-wheel drive chassis. The scale-like body has been based on the cars that run in the WTCR and BTCC championships with similar styling and aerodynamics cues. Key features are a double front splitter balanced with a BRCA-legal rear wing for a car that’s fast and easy to drive. The prototype was extensively tested over the last six months by Phat Bodies’ team of test drivers, some pro and and some regular club drivers, ran on everything from tight and grippy indoor carpet tracks to fast and open outdoor tarmac tracks and even in the rain to ensure the body performs in every track condition. The lid is fully BRCA approved, meets the international 125mm roof height and comes in crystal clear Lexan polycarbonate for high quality and durability. Included come vinyl window masks, lights and grille stickers as well as the rear wing.
