ZooRacing APEX 190mm FWD Body Review: The Ultralite Advantage for 1/10 Touring
Why the ZooRacing APEX Is the Go-To FWD Touring Body for Serious Racers
If you race 1/10 scale front-wheel-drive touring and every gram matters, the ZooRacing APEX 190mm FWD Body (ZR-0027-05) is the shell you've been waiting for. Cut from 0.5mm Ultralite polycarbonate, this clear body delivers a measurable weight advantage over standard 0.7mm or 0.8mm offerings — without compromising structural integrity where it counts.
Designed for FWD Competition — Not Adapted From It
The APEX wasn't retrofitted from a generic touring shell. ZooRacing engineered it specifically for the demands of front-wheel-drive racing. The roofline, hood contours, and rear deck geometry work together to manage airflow in a way that keeps your car planted through high-speed sweepers and responsive in tight technical sections. Whether you're running carpet or asphalt, the aerodynamic profile translates directly into lap time.

Whether you're running a sponsor livery or a custom scheme, the APEX gives you a clean canvas to work with.
Who Is the ZooRacing APEX For?
The APEX is built for drivers who are serious about FWD touring competition. If you're running a platform like the Awesomatix A800FX, XRAY T4F, or similar 190mm FWD chassis, this body is a direct fit. It's the right choice when you want a competitive edge without adding unnecessary weight to the car.

The 0.5mm Ultralite thickness gives you a genuine weight advantage, the aero geometry was developed with real racing feedback, and the clear finish means your livery is limited only by your imagination. If FWD touring is your class, the APEX belongs on your build.
