Japanese company Team Bomber have announced the release of their new TB-M Type R 225mm wheelbase M-class body shell. Resembling a European-style hatchback touring car the body is performance oriented yet with looks to match. Included in the body set come two different rear wings, a straight and a curved design, that allow to create different looks and downforce levels. Other features include lightweight wing mounts, window masks and a decal sheet. The body is usable with pretty much every 225mm wheelbase M-class touring car.
New for the Tamiya TRF1903 formula pan cars is the WTC wing-to-chassis mount from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand. The carbon fibre and aluminium assembly will ensure increased rear end grip, better handling, improved stability on bumpy tracks and more predictable cornering. The mount moves the rear wing mount from the power pod to the centre chassis area, reducing unsprung weight. The design ensures only 20g of added weight and the set includes the WTC mount as well as a U-shaped connecting brace for the left and right side motor mounts.
Mon-Tech Racing from Italy have introduced their all-new Montecarlo body shell for 190mm touring cars.

The lid is available in ETS legal standard thickness and also as a lightweight variant and it includes window masks, a decal sheet and lightweight wing mounting hardware.
