Bittydesign Force shell for THE Car

As seen during our race coverage at last Octobers Arena race in Italy, Bittydesign have released their Force shell for the JQ Products THE Car. Featuring a cab forward design, it has been developed to obtain better downforce and improve steering response in low speed turns. They also worked to obtain higher downforce at the rear of the body by adding winglets which also helps create more stability in high speed turns. The cab has been developed to use the original JQ air filter, regardless of whether the engine is placed in the front or rear position. Also available to complete the look, rear mud guards which are supplied clear so they can be painted to match your shell.

Xray XB9 coming soon

Xray are running a teaser on their site, and also on their advertising banner on our site, for the upcoming XB9, the follow up to the successful XB8 1/8th scale buggy. We have no information on the new car, but we would expect that because they have used an all new series number that the car will be a completely new platform. The Slovakian company signed multiple European Champion Renaud Savoya back in September, could this already be the first results of that collaboration?
