Pro-Line RC8T3 Enforcer bodyshell

Coming from Pro-Line is the Enforcer bodyshell for the Team Associated RC8T3 1/8th truggy. The body is a standard standard item in the AE kit and originally comes from the mind of Ty Tessmann to offer a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the truck is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet.

Bittydesign tease new 190mm touring car bodyshell

Italian company Bittydesign are currently teasing a new 190mm electric touring car bodyshell. The rough sketch leaves room for interpretation whether the body will mimic a full scale vehicle or if it will be modelled solely after the global body spec rules, but a second drawing, issued shortly after, shows that the body in question will sport some real “Italian” lines especially round the grille and headlight section. We bring you more information on the subject as soon as they become available.
