Limitless Delta Plastik 8515 - WR SPEED - KIT COMPLETE

[LibertyMKiii]

New Delta Plastik body World record speed body for 1:7 (also has a James McCoy edition)

Some additional pics found on the Italy site

It appears the last 3-4 inches of the body is a secondary piece. That may be to make it fit 1/8 scale or 1/7?

$230?!?!

$230?!?!

The other model is like $20 less. It is not clear what the James McCoy V2 rocket option comes with versus the original.
Regardless I was going to spend about that much making a mold of my plaster and casting a fiberglass body. This saves me both time and money.

I'll admit I feel like they ripped me off a little bit.

Although it looks more closely like Nic's car from 11+ years ago

My guess would be the side fins and/or the diffuser extension.

Didnt notice this initially, thanks @autolex for pointing it out.

Maybe for @K-BASH and @vwturbowolf a vendetta version of this body!

Interesting design feature here (red lines) . Appears to be optimizing front downforce?

It appears they are purposely creating some airflow seperation there to reduce lift.

Nice looks great but super expensive. I wonder how much faster this would be than a well setup FC100 body, considering those have gone over 200 mph.. I would love to see a back to back test of the two bodies, on the same car running right after the other with fresh batteries and new tires.. I’m thinking this should do at least 5 to 10 mph more than the FC100. I agree it looks like Liberty’s CF body lol

I'm curious..
What would be a fair Retail price for a 800mm Carbon Fiber body like that be?

It should be 800-1200 but rc car guys would never pay it.
If you wanted to make carbon products and sell rc boat products. They are used to paying the correct price for carbon products.

FYI I plan to test the boat again and will invite you out to the ponds.

My XLWB typhon would fit that vendetta bonneville body just fine too, that's just an expensive body to beat up.

There's something to the light plastic flexy chassis though, I bet if someone dumps the $3k into one to make it right you may be onto something.

Now, cheap alternatives for $69 I personally may have some interest...

190mph now!!!
9/25/2022 Edit: 195mph

 

[LibertyMKiii]

It's about 5mm wider on each side than the FC 100 body. Overall looks good!

 

[LibertyMKiii]

James just posted up a YT video on assembling this body. Really helps show all the pieces well.

When James says this thing is going to be epic you know its going to be good.
I just knew he must be hanging onto some videos from his testing over the summer. That was under 2000 ft and hit 201 mph LOL
(my fuzzy math says the run would have been around 1800 ft ? )
