ZooRacing have introduced the Bwoah, their first 190mm GT LMH bodyshell. The wheel arches offer enough space to also fit the GT tires with a large diameter, while the super slim cabin plays into the overall wide and flat look of the body. You’ll find two cutting lines for the rear wing, a 10mm high version that’ll apply to the USGT regulations as well as a higher ‘Outlaw’ option for maximum downforce. The whole design of Bwoah uses the lowest possible centre of gravity and generates maximum corner speed with that, especially on tracks with lot of grip. The GT classes with less strong motors have been put into consideration as well with low air resistance helping to create high top speed on the straightaway. The clearance makes allowances for the widespread Tamiya TT-01 and TT-02 models and the design has been adjusted for those, so it even fits cars with high shock towers. Moulded from high-quality 0.7mm polycarbonate for a low weight of only 75g, the body package is rounded out by high-quality wing mounting hardware and a highly detailed sticker sheet including grill, head and tail lights.

Xray now release three new optional kingpins in 0.5°, 1.0° and 2.0° camber angle to adjust the camber in fixed steps.

Xray introduce this ultra-lightweight version of the XB4 Gamma 4D body, designed especially for low traction conditions. Lower weight reduces the roll of the car and improves corner speed, while the profile of the body improves the stability and increases downforce towards the rear of the car to help generate more traction for the car. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body for XB4D is designed by Xray to perfectly fit the car and work especially in low traction conditions. Specially designed to maximise rear down force to increase traction the front was designed to give optimal steering. The sides of the body and cockpit are as flat as possible to allow air to flow around the body for improved side stability. On the top of roof are two integrated flow channels for proper airflow. Made from high-quality premium Lexan material.
