WOLVERINE MAX is ZooRacing's latest high-performance touring car body, the design of which has been developed according to our latest findings, with the aim of making WOLVERINE MAX even faster on any track than its predecessors.
Many new features ensure that the driving behavior has become even more dynamic, with more contact pressure for more stability in the curves with significantly more rotation. At the same time, the aerodynamic efficiency was further improved.
For this purpose, many areas of WOLVERINE MAX have been noticeably further developed. The overall length was significantly shortened to reduce inertia and thus improve rotation around the vertical axis. In order to achieve even more steering in fast corners, the front and the hood were made even steeper. In order to better direct the lateral air flows along the rear wheel arches to the rear wing and thus create even more downforce, WOLVERINE MAX was strongly tailored at the sides. The rear is designed to be very flat and homogeneous, ensuring on the one hand a very low center of gravity and on the other hand a very even air flow to the rear wing. The shape of the rear fenders has been reshaped to ensure more even air flow. This meant that turbulence at the end of the body could be minimized.
WOLVERINE MAX's roof has been stretched more to improve overall aerodynamic efficiency. For the first time, the side windows have a curvature to achieve more uniform pressure conditions as air flows past. For the rear wing we used the well-known HELLCAT wing and improved it even further. The wing is known for its curved and arched design, perfectly adapted to the rear of the body, and the resulting extreme effect. For greater structural stability and more downforce on fast routes, we have now provided the rear wing with an extremely effective reinforcing rib.
High rigidity is particularly important for the 0.5mm Ultralight version. To achieve this we have developed many new features. The area in front of the front window has been revised to achieve greater strength. The front fenders now feature a unique structure, reducing flexing at high speeds and achieving greater overall efficiency.
At the top of the Wolverine MAX highlights is the new ZOOlite deep-drawing process, which reduces the total weight of our 0.7mm thick body by approx. 10g.
This ensures that the body fits into all regulations that currently stipulate a minimum body weight - without wasting a single gram.
Of course, the body is still available in super light 0.5mm material. If you want to get the maximum performance out of your car and are not subject to a minimum weight, you should go this route.
In addition, the body is also available in 0.4mm material - if you want it to be really special.
A number of anti-tuck features are already integrated for stable and safe use on the racetrack: the structured structure of the side panels and stiffening ribs in the rear area ensure a high level of safety, even if the person behind unexpectedly knocks.
All the beads and edges come into their own, especially in the ultra-light version. The body becomes very light and at the same time remains dimensionally stable under load.
Another gimmick are the wheel arches, which allow the body to be positioned particularly far forward or far back. A center offset of +4mm or -4mm is possible. This results in a total freedom of movement of 8mm!
The body is available in three variants:
AIRLITE: 0.4mm thick - 45g weight without paint and stickers, including wings
LIGHTWEIGHT: 0.5mm thick - 55g weight without paint and stickers, including wings
REGULAR: 0.7mm thick - 83g weight without paint and stickers, incl. wing
For example, the 90g rule of the ETS is very easy to achieve with paint and stickers.
A special feature of the ZooRacing bodies are the two-stage window decals.
With stage 1, the first step is to tape off the entire window and paint the entire body.
Then remove step 1 and stick the smaller step 2 into the window. This is how you can paint a perfect window frame!
Please note that if you have light paintwork, you should first put a white background on it - if you want to paint a dark window frame.
The technical data:
Scale: 1:10 touring car
Wheelbase: approx. 257mm
Width: approx. 190mm
The features:
- developed and shaped using CAD design
- special LCG body for low air resistance
- deep-drawn front
- retracted roof structure for perfect stability and air flow
- Reinforcement ribs on the trunk
- Beads and edges in the rear as an anti-tuck feature to prevent trapped bodies
- Wheel arches with integrated possible offset to the front or rear (+/-4mm)
- Anti-tuck stiffener also integrated in the side panels
- detailed decal sheet
- two-stage window sticker
- Bolts and nuts for the rear wing included
- EFRA homologated (EFRA 4084)
The body is delivered unpainted and not cut out.
Rear wing, a small decal sheet and window stickers are included.
Not a complete car, no wheels - these only serve to better illustrate the intended use.
Important NOTE:
The thinner the car bodies become, the more sensitive they are. This applies to production, storage, transport and, of course, use.
The bodies may have minor creases (particularly in the rear area).
Unfortunately, small creases and folds cannot always be prevented and we cannot really see them through the bag.
At this point: Form follows function - you won't win any beauty prizes with super thin bodies. But you're quick :-)
This is particularly true for the AIRLITE version, which is only 0.4mm thick. There are always kinks here that are due to the sensitive material. The use of 0.4mm bodies is therefore only an option for drivers who can live with these properties, for whom low durability is not a problem and who want to achieve maximum performance.
A side question:
What is the difference between the existing Wolverine and the Wolverine MAX?
We made minimal changes to the body to achieve EFRA homologation.
These changes have no effect on driving behavior.
