JConcepts Illuzion Hi-Flow RC8 bodyshell
Seen for the first time at last month’s Nitro Challenge in the hands of race winner Ryan Maifield, JConcepts have now released their new Illuzion Hi Flow 2.0 body for the Associated RC8 buggy. Special consideration has been made for the Hi-Flow 2.0 body in regards to the air filter, side guards, battery box and extra clearance around the throttle and brake linkage, and thanks to JConcepts, the Illuzion body is also a drop fit and requires no hassles when installing or removing the body. Race inspired aggressive styling, Illuzionized cab and durable design are just some of the features that make this new body stand out.
