Protoform brings Corvette Racing’s championship heritage to USGT class racing with the officially-licensed Corvette C7.R race body. From the signature Corvette muscular stance and swept-back roofline, to the large front splitter and side vents, every detail of the full-scale race car is captured to add scale realism to the world of 1:10 scale 190mm touring cars. The extensive decal sheet helps to deck out the biddy with Corvette branded windshield headers, “Jake” skull hood logo, number plates, and USA flags. Included with the body is an add-on rear wing with the USGT-sanctioned 10mm trim height, nylon wing struts, and mounting hardware. The body fits popular 190mm touring cars and is formed from high quality .030″ polycarbonate.

Coming from Fenix as part of their new Slim Series chassis range are carbon fibre chassis for a range of formula pan cars. Designed to reduce chassis scrub during hard cornering the chassis will allow for a softer suspension setup due to greater ground clearance.

3DRC have introduced their new Type A and Type B Aero rear wings for 190mm touring cars. The 3-D-printed downforce enhancers sport a full scale motorsport inspired design with dual flaps and inner plates that reinforce the whole structure while also guiding the airflow. The Type A wing features rearward shaped elements which make for a steeper angle in the middle and a lower angle on the sides while the Type B wing has forward bend flaps for a lower centre angle, giving the two wings different aerodynamic characteristics. Both are made for touring car bodies with 100mm screw distance, they feature 40x20mm side plates, double mounting holes for easy fore and aft adjustment, and at 10g they are light of weight. Strong and flexible yet not as forgiving as polycarbonate wings the parts are intended for the more experienced driver and like all 3DRC products they are available through Shapeways.
Mon-Tech Racing from Italy have introduced their new 2017 style formula front wing. Of an adjustable design the wing can be run with three, two or a single wing element, meaning it can adapt the car’s aerodynamics to a wide range of track conditions from low to high-bite. All needed flaps are included with the wing that is available in black or white colour and that fits most of today’s formula cars.
