The scale-like body has been based on the cars that run in the WTCR and BTCC championships with similar styling and aerodynamics cues.

The prototype was extensively tested over the last six months by Phat Bodies’ team of test drivers, some pro and and some regular club drivers, ran on everything from tight and grippy indoor carpet tracks to fast and open outdoor tarmac tracks and even in the rain to ensure the body performs in every track condition. The lid is fully BRCA approved, meets the international 125mm roof height and comes in crystal clear Lexan polycarbonate for high quality and durability. Included come vinyl window masks, lights and grille stickers as well as the rear wing.

LCG Racing is busy adding more optionals for popular electric touring cars to their portfolio. The latest is the narrow style carbon fibre top deck for the Yokomo BD10. The flex-design top deck is of a very narrow design in the front area, increasing the chassis’ torsional front flex for increased steering, yet an easier to drive car. However flex in the rear area is greatly reduced due to a smaller cut-out which allows for better on-power stability. The fully symmetrical narrow style top deck is machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre and it provides for a balanced flex characteristic needed for today’s generation of touring cars and it is a direct fit.
