JConcepts Cadillac ATS-V Street Eliminator body

JConcepts have introduced their latest Street Eliminator body shell, the ATS-V, Cadillac’s vigorous, brawny contender, eager to represent against all other performance rides. JConcepts took on recommendations from racers and dove into a new project utilizing the coupe style vehicle for the drag racing community. The Cadillac features a V-forged front-end with details chiseled into the headlight area which draws up the fender and over the hood. Undercuts throughout the nose culminate at the bottom with built-in splitter and recess vents. The grille as detailed with the included decal sheet allows the edginess of the Cadillac style to stand out and look massive. The included front hood-scoop brings a drag racing flair and blends up to the gradually shaped windshield with class. The roof is slightly railed, channeling the air over the rear-end and coupe section down to the trunk-lid. Fender flares protrude from the main body shape blend into the railed and splitter along the rocker-panels. The rear trunk cover fits and flows around the back to a recessed center section and allows perfect positioning of the rear taillights. The included taillight decals fold around the individual sections of the quarter-panels to provide that all-important Cadillac look. An included lower support structure and upper top wing is included to bring out another side to the Cadillac which is a drag racing animal. Included in each body set, a 2019 Cadillac ATS-V decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.

H2 Racing Development Advance S64 carbon chassis

Coming in late August is H2 Racing Development’s new carbon fibre chassis and top deck for the 3Racing Advance S64 touring car. The main chassis will come machined from high-quality 2.5mm Torayca carbon fibre and it offers some additional features compared to the standard FRP chassis, such as a mounting position for an optional twist control block, as well as mounting holes for an ARS suspension, weight block as well as shorty battery holders. The servo mount position was moved a bit backwards for an optimised weight bias as was the lower bulkheads which means the chassis is only usable in combination with H2RD’s upper deck but not the original part.
