OfficinaRC ‘Smart Body Tuck – Click Ball Connect’
OfficinaRC has released their new ‘Smart Body Tuck – Click Ball Connect’ body stiffener solution. In recent years, body stiffeners have become an almost essential accessory for those who want to use lightweight car bodies. These stiffeners, thanks to their reduced weight, allow ultralight bodies to maintain their aerodynamic shape while driving. OfficinaRC chose to call it “Smart” because it solves one of the most common issues associated with bodies featuring a Body Tuck: space. It is often challenging to stack these bodies. With the use of a carbon fibre rod with two aluminium balls at each end, attaching and removing the stiffeners, whether for stacking bodies or observing their performance on the track with or without stiffeners, will be a breeze. The two aluminium ball joints, made from black anodised aluminium, fit perfectly into the appendages. The appendages, 3D-printed using a resin mixture, ensure impeccable details and excellent resistance to removal and insertion. Each stiffener comes with numbered appendages (1 and 2) that allow you to choose which side to leave exposed for detachment. The Smart Body Tuck is incredibly lightweight, weighing only 1.45 grams per pair, and it comes with ultra-thin pre-cut 3M VHB adhesive for maximum adhesion. It fits on all touring cars, both for side stiffeners and rear wheel arches, and it is compatible with FWD bodies.
