Bittydesign RC8.2 Force 2.0 shell

Bittydesign continue to update their Force line of bodyshells, this time the RC8.2 shell getting an update to the Force 2.0. With the first version of the body working really well, Yannick Aigoin running the body at recent races, the changes have beenĀ  exclusively aesthetic. They have given the cab a modern look more in line with other Force bodies and they reinforced the front part near the clip mounting area and finally changing the design of later big air scoop and improving the 3 fins on the roof that are now more detailed. As usual the body is produced with 1mm original Lexan polycarbonate and it comes complete with protective film, decal sheet and window mask.
