Shark RC Bodies launches 'Slingshot' short course truck body
Shark RC Bodies is an unknown/unverified brand with no history on the show. While the release framing (new product launch, specific pricing, clear feature set) shows genuine novelty, the brand's obscurity caps it well below the major-brand kit range. Short course truck bodies are on-theme for scale-adjacent RC but this is a minor accessory from an unproven maker, not exceptional craftsmanship or major industry news. Scoring toward the bottom of the unknown-brand ceiling.

Shark RC Bodies introduced the Slingshot, a pro stock/street stock style clear body designed to fit the Traxxas Slash and other short course trucks. It's the big-brother version of their Ricochet buggy body, aimed at tacky track surfaces like carpet, tacky clay, or concrete. Options include .060 or .040 thickness, Camaro/Mustang/Challenger headlight decals, single blade rear spoiler, optional spoiler with end caps, black or white molded lexan, and a reusable interior decking with driver and helmet figure. Priced at $56.99.
