Every year Jimmy Babcock and the crew at Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus, California gear up for one the biggest electric off-road races of the season; the Hot Rod Shootout.

C12 Mark-1

C12 Mark-2

For large, flowing tracks, you’ll find the C12 Mark-2 bodyshell very hard to beat! The closed-cockpit design and low, chassis-hugging details are ideal for bigger tracks with lots of speed sections. Try it and you will love it!

For small, tight tracks, try the #61730 C12 Mark-1 bodyshell, which is an open cockpit design, perfect for extra traction in the twisty bits! As a compromise between the two designs, try the #61732 C12 Mark-3 closed-cockpit, high downforce version.

Check out the latest range of Hot Bodies shells for your Cyclone 12:

#61730 C12 Mark-1 (open cockpit, high downforce)
#61731 C12 Mark-2 (closed cockpit, high speed)
#61732 C12 Mark-3 (closed cockpit, extra downforce)
