Leadfinger Racing NB48 2.1 Beretta body

US offroad bodyshell manufacturer Leadfinger Racing has released its Beretta body to fit Tekno’s NB48 2.1 buggy. The new Beretta body for the NB48 2.1 has been specifically designed to be a drop fit body for the 2.1 version. In the past, racers were required to change out the air filter to fit the body properly onto the car. The new Beretta body has a widened cab that enables racers to use the correct 2.1 air filter and snorkel. Modifications are no longer necessary to the throttle linkages. LFR designed the body for better clearance of the linkages to prevent premature paint damage. There are no more shared cut lines with other cars. The NB48 2.1 Beretta Body has its own mold to eliminate multiple cut lines and taking out the guess work on how to mount the body correctly. Each body come with protective spray film for painting. Window masks and official LFR logo stickers provided.
