Mon-Tech Racing Italia GT12 body shell

Italian company Mon-Tech has introduced their new Italia body shell for the GT12 1/12th scale pan car class. Developed in cooperation with Schumacher team pilots, the body features a low front end design with a pronounced front splitter for exceptional steering while rear airflow channels guide the air towards the rear wing for optimised downforce and stability. This results in a very balanced car feeling and thus better car control and confidence. The body is available in standard and lightweight variants and including window masks and a decal sheet.

Sweep Racing P2L 1/8th GT body shell

Coming soon from Sweep is their new P2L body shell for the ever growing 1/8th GT classes. Compared to the P1L body the P2L offers improved steering response while the rear section was reinforced using two lines that span from the front window towards the rear of the body. This will make for increased rear downforce and thus improved stability. The body comes moulded from clear high-quality polycarbonate material and it includes a 1.0mm Vortex rear wing, window masks and a decal sheet.

Helix A800 high downforce body post mounts

Helix Designs have introduced their new high downforce body post mounts for the Awesomatix 4WD touring cars. The mount attaches the rear body posts horizontally to now be mounted out the back of the body. The main benefit to this is eliminating all flex at the back of the body giving the wing and rear deck much more support and resulting in a more stable and consistent feeling car which is very noticeable with 0.5mm ultra lightweight bodies. The design also makes the ultimate body tucks solution from direct rear impacts and they can be combined with Helix anti-tuck lite body stiffeners to the body stop crinkle from side tucks to create the best anti tuck solution possible at a very low weight.
