New from Zoo Racing are the so called ZERDA and LMH Body SHells for 1:10 LMH and 1:12 GT racing. Here are the product information from Zoo Racing for you. The bodies will be available faround January 20, 2026.
HYENA
The Hypercar class is the latest revolution in RC touring car racing, combining state-of-the-art aerodynamics, extreme performance and hyper-realistic design. Designed for high-speed competition, these cars feature a low-slung, wide chassis optimised for maximum downforce and stability at top speed.
With a sleek, aggressive design inspired by full-size hypercars, this class offers the perfect blend of realism and high-performance racing. Look forward to top-level cornering speeds, improved grip and precise handling – pushing RC competition to its limits!
ZooRacing presents the HYEANA, the second hypercar body for the next generation of touring car racing. Developed with state-of-the-art aerodynamics and precision engineering, the HYENA sets new standards in downforce, efficiency and stability for ambitious racers.
The difference between the super successful HYRAX and the HYENA is that the focus here is on MORE steering. More agile cornering – combined with a slightly higher design to make the body more attractive for older touring cars.
The longer front and large front splitter result in more downforce and the higher – but shorter – rear section ensures better cornering, whatever the track.
Advanced aerodynamics for maximum performance
Every curve and surface of the HYENA is designed for optimum airflow, reducing drag while maximising downforce. The flat, wide body design ensures a secure stance and enables superior cornering speeds and unrivalled stability.
Key aerodynamic features include:
Optimised front end – An aggressive front splitter and sculpted wings minimise turbulence and provide high grip at the front axle.
Low-drag cockpit design – A sleek, realistic cockpit area reduces drag while providing stability at high speeds.
Efficient airflow in the side box – Precisely moulded side ducts channel the air around the bodywork, reducing drag and improving rear balance.
High-downforce rear – An integrated rear diffuser and large rear wing maximise traction while controlling air turbulence.
Realistic hypercar styling and performance
The HYENA is designed with extremely detailed realism, mirroring original hypercars while maintaining race-optimised proportions. The low centre of gravity of the body improves chassis performance and ensures precise handling and responsiveness on the racetrack.
Key features:
Ultra-low centre of gravity for optimum handling and stability
Lightweight, high-strength material for durability and performance
Realistic hypercar look with detailed aerodynamic elements
Optimised for high-speed touring car racing with advanced airflow design
The ZOOlite moulding process used in the Hyrax reduces the weight of the standard 0.7mm body by approximately 10g while lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity.
Each Hyrax body kit includes high quality rear wing mounting material and a detailed decal sheet with grille, headlight and tail light designs. This makes your vehicle both performance-orientated and a visual eye-catcher on the racetrack.
Features:
– CAD design
– Special, extremely flat hypercar body with more realistic design and lower air resistance
– Low yet realistic front end with sculpted bonnet and radiator grille details
– Large wheel arches ensure that the tyres do not drag in any position
– ZOOlite 0.7 mm standard body weighs approx. 75 g on average including mudguards
– Detailed decal sheet
– Mudguard attachment
– The body requires the latest touring car chassis with extremely low shock absorber position. Older chassis up to 2023 are not compatible due to the low and realistic body construction.
The technical data:
Scale: 1:10 touring car
Wheelbase: approx. 257mm
Width: approx. 192mm front / 193mm rear
ZERDA
ZooRacing is finally entering the popular GT12 1:12 racing class with the ZERDA GT12 body. This GT body impresses with its stylish high-performance design and sets new standards in terms of handling and downforce in this fascinating racing class.
Extreme downforce and efficient airflow enable extremely precise cornering and direction changes. At the same time, the rear is optimally positioned on the track. The result is easy to drive and fluid handling on all types of track. ZooRacing has reworked all areas from the front to the rear for this completely new bodywork.
From the large front splitter and the narrow and aerodynamically optimised front wheel arches to the advanced, extremely low cab and the large, efficient rear wing. The body is extremely flat and aerodynamically optimised for super-fast and stable cornering and high speeds. This is particularly advantageous in stock racing, where low drag is the key to success. The entire surface of the ZERDA is smooth and free of sharp edges, which prevents unwanted turbulence. This ensures high efficiency and stability of the bodywork in any racing situation.
The rear wing has two different cut lines for long/short cuts and low/high cuts – depending on the local racing regulations or the desired downforce settings. Thanks to the optimised aerodynamics, ZooRacing was also able to give the ZERDA a modern, timeless and appealing design. Last but not least, the ZERDA features ZooRacing’s characteristic cut lines for the wheels and lines for the body mounting holes, which make fitting the body a breeze.
The ZERDA Zerda comes with windscreen masks and a highly detailed decal sheet with window frames and tinted windows, which provides a realistic look and reduces the amount of painting required.
Features:
- CAD design
- Special 1:12 Racing GT12 body with balanced downforce between front and rear axle
- 0.4 mm AIRlite body
- 0.7 mm ULTRAlight standard body
- Detailed decal sheet with window frames, tinted windows and window stickers
- Scale: 1:12
- Wheelbase: approx. 205mm (minimally variable)
- Front width: approx. 170mm
- Rear width: approx. 178mm
