Check this out! A racer came into the shop toting these along to show me, and I had to get pictures and permission from him to show these here at Slotblog.
I think they're a work of art!
He told me that a die was made to make the bodies, the brass one was formed in the die using a press. While the carbon fiber one was done using the same die with layers of the carbon mat laid into the die and pressed to let harden. To me what is so cool is the body NOW becomes part of the chassis.
Personally, I've never seen them run, but from what he told me was they actually flex upward in the center just like their 1:1 counterparts.
Enough of my bragging andranting; here are the pictures.
