We first featured Method R/C as they introduced their Mirage TLR22 body last month, and more good news has made its way from the Method R/C headquarters!
Method R/C Press Release:
Method RC responds to the overwhelming response to its Mirage body for the TLR 22 with an equally attractive, high performance offering for the RC short course market. The Hellcat Type R short course body fits most popular 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive 1:10 scale RC SCT vehicles and is designed to meet the ROAR Racing regulations for 1/10th RC Short Course Truck. Hellcat sports aggressive styling that is true to full-scale short course racing trucks. Careful placement of air extractors in low pressure zones reduces the parachute effect when jumping without making your truck look like Swiss cheese. Included number plates incorporate a 35 degree kick to help reduce air entrainment behind the cab, reducing drag and parachute effect. The Type R body is perfect for racing as it uses a thinner polycarbonate to reduce weight. When you really want to get aggressive, install the included rear spoiler for added bite.
“After having spent many years improving the aerodynamics of off-road racing trucks in wind tunnels, I wanted to bring that knowledge to the RC world,” said Brian Miller, co-founder of Method RC. “We completed a comprehensive aerodynamic development program with Hellcat that included extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). We can’t wait for our customers to experience the advantages of this body on the track for themselves.”
Hellcat Type R Features:
· Smart placement of air extractors maximizes aerodynamic benefit without compromising the look of the vehicle
· ROAR compliant design
· Made from 0.040" thick water-clear, high-impact, mar resistant polycarbonate (Lexan body)
· Integrated overspray film and included window masks will give your paint job a professional appearance

· All fasteners for mounting number plates and rear spoiler are included
· Proudly made in the USA
