Following a couple of teaser images, Mon-Tech Racing have fully unveiled their all-new RS GT3 1/10th scale GT body shell. The 190mm USGT body was developed using the latest 3-D-modelling techniques in order achieve a new level of detailedness, with the body featuring an aggressive front splitter, a low hood section and a balanced rear wing design, providing a perfect blend of high downforce and very low drag. The body is moulded in-house at Mon-Tech Racing in Italy, using high-quality polycarbonate material for exceptional durability. The design of the body allows for lots of tyre clearance even when using bigger tyres while ensuring the lid can be placed forth or back to fine-tune overall balance. The included wing features two trim lines, a USGT-legal 10mm line and an outlaw 20mm line, the latter generating even more downforce. The body comes clear, including window masks, a lights decal sheet as well as wing mounting hardware and in a reusable and resealable, Mon-Tech-branded bag. In addition Mon-Tech Racing will offer decal kits to create design replicas for even cooler looks.

Coming from JConcepts is the JCI Junior Mortician body for the Axial SMT10 and similar vehicles. The converted to panel truck body is competition friendly with its compact size and uniquely shaped front and rear fender designs. As a racer, front and rear clearance is important for racing and freestyle competition and the Junior Mortician is tightly compressed to help pull-off the most ridiculous freestyle runs possible. Looking into the eyes of the body shell tells you everything you need to know, a menacing and battle tested beast rests behind those optics. JConcepts created an angular front-end, platform front flares for a vintage feel and a very broad centre grille section to back up promises of massive carnage. The panel truck cab and roof-over section is flat and to the point, the windshield has a slight V-treatment for realism. Maximum imagination to the masses is what this body shell is all about with the large exposure panel areas. The tall panel section is a bonus, an art-board in a sense to decorate, decal or paint however the user desires. Included in each body set comes a clear and heavy-duty polycarbonate body, decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.
JConcepts have introduced their latest Street Eliminator body shell, the infamous 1987 Buick Grand National. The American produced, sinister, wedged shaped vehicle is now released to the RC enthusiast to fit the latest Street Eliminator vehicles on the market. The crew in the JConcepts R&D department tackled one of its finest projects to date and together with Chevrolet licensing has produced some exciting muscle. The G-body construction is a shape fit for the RC scene. The vehicles which are wide-bodied, flat panelled and have a low-roof line always track well down the racetrack. A low front chin, bumper construction and pocketed headlights immediately look like punishment is headed your way. The long and swooping quarter-panels are a staple of this generation vehicle and it certainly cuts like a knife on the drag strip. Fender flares are apparent and appropriately positioned and sized for tires like the JConcepts Hotties tyres. The cab itself is one of the identifiable features of the GNX and its balanced positioning and sharp lines makes competitors retreat in fear. Rear bumper creation was detailed even allowing position for personalised license plate from the included decal sheet. A small built-in rear spoiler keeps things looking original for those sleepy builds and creations. Included in each body set, a 1987 Buick Grand National decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.
Another coming soon from Leadfinger Racing is a body shell for the TLR 22 5.0 2WD buggy. It will feature a somewhat radical design with a roof air intake for improved motor cooling as well as a shark fin roof detail and a swooping rear section for optimised airflow towards the rear wing. Full details will become available in time of the release that isn’t too far off the horizon.
