Phat Bodies - Exclusive first pictures of new Losi Mini 8ight body shells

'Piranha'

What an afternoon we have had over at ORRC H.Q. I virtually attacked the postman's neck today when he finally trod the icy path up to my door. He was carrying a small brown cardboard box. The box had started its journey 2 days prior at Phat Bodies production studio in Bristol. Si Osbourne had lovingly packed this little parcel of dreams and sent it up to the chilly climbs of the Black Country for us to grab some first impressions on its contents just for you 1/16th off-road fans. We thought the only way we could really do the micro scenes excitement justice was to get in the studio and take our very own super fresh photographs.

The recent release of the Losi Mini 8ight has spurred Si and the hard working team over at Phat Bodies to create 3 new lids that are not just designed with aesthetics in mind, but feature some amazingly well designed body contours for maximum air flow organisation  and incredible space for electrical installation.

The new shells are crafted with a cheeky feature in mind. They can actually be cut easily to fit not just the Losi Mini 8ight but also the Carisma GT14B, and the LRP Shark!! Bonus.

'For Four'

The 'Phat Head' is a bold cab forward beast with a skinny rear cab area and chopped roof line. We love cab forward shells and this one looks like it would creep up on you in a dark alley and kidnap your other half ;).
Next up is the Piranha is just as aggressive looking as its name sake with beautifully crafted side pods and a menacing roof fin for that apex predator look. Last but by no means least is the 'For Four'. Its is a playful nod towards one of the scenes favourite 4wd 1/10th race kits...can you spot it?. Grab that old school styling from the bigger guys on your 1/16th carpet ripper!

'Phat Head'

Spending the afternoon with these 3 bad boys has made us realise we need to get them painted up, fitted on the cars, and tested at the track! Expect us to update you with a new feature as we begin testing next week folks. Remember chaps...Full Phat review soon!! :)

We couldnt resist a shot of the original 'Chunk' shell while we were at it!!
