New from Exotek Racing is their Pzero R 1:10 USGT approved body.  The Italian super car modelled GT body has now been optimised for todays ultra low profile touring car suspensions.  It’s 194mm width allows you to run wider suspension or wheel hex set ups which is excellent for high grip tracks to reduce rolling.  Like the real car its is based on, the Pzero R has deeply sculpted body lines that sits super low around the suspension for reduced drag, increased air flow to the rear wing and super low centre of gravity.  The Pzero R is also molded with an aggressive splitter, flared fenders, low slung hood, downforce inducing side skirts and extra rear spoiler elements for the most aggressive aero package with minimal drag.  Exotek Racing’s new wing design also has raised wing pedestals placing the wing higher up into clean air and also is more adjustable- allowing you to mount the wing forward or back or add spacers to raise the wing higher.
