Leadfinger Racing ET410 Strife body shell

Leadfinger Racing have introduced their Strife body shell for the Tekno RC ET410 1/10th 4WD truck. The design idea comes from it’s much larger brother, the ET48 Strife body. To see if the idea would work, Leadfinger started by shortening the cab and rear truck bed, then narrowing the entire original mould to better suited the smaller ET410. The final step was to reverse or flip the front mounting posts. This gave LFR the room needed to install the front clips and clear the front cowling, making it a drop fit. The body comes clear and including window masks and sticker sheet.

Leadfinger Racing XB4 A2 Tactic body shell

Coming from Leadfinger Racing and made for the popular Xray XB4 buggy is the A2 Tactic body shell. It shows design influenced from LFR’s 1/8th scale bodies with an aggressive and sleek style. The windshield has been laid down to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for superior cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing its style and performance. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The use of mounting posts have been deleted, and the body has been specifically designed for the use as a velcro only application. The new A2 Tactic body comes in clear with window masks and stickers provided and including two suitable rear wings.
