JConcepts Cat PB Dragonator body

Having brought back a little of the 2000’s look to 1:10 offroad buggy racing with the release of the Dragonator body shell, JConcepts has added a variant for the latest Schumacher Cat PB 1:10 4WD Buggy. The new body is heavily inspired by the early 2000’s dynamo. With the 1:10 buggy class is ruled primary by JConcepts performance bodies such as the S2, F2, P2, and S15, for the new season of offroad racing Jason Ruona and his Florida company got a bit more creative and sculpted this angular shell stating the ‘Cab forward, cab rearward, the debate lives on, but the Dragonator is something different’. A good portion of the new shell is all cab, the narrow front develops width as it reaches the rear, up to a specialty fin where it picks up stability. The long swooping side windows provide an aggressive stance that all converges to the front like an arrow. The power pods are raised in advanced territory directing and channeling flow over the centre of the chassis and through to the rear. The heavy inner edge of the power pods is a hard stop but ultimately the defining concept of the new item. The decreasing radius portion of the back of the cab is unique, created to ride low-profile on the track surface and equalise the front to rear bias of the all-cab concept. Stepped rear “doghouse” serves as the termination point of the windows and positions it just before the rear tower. The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard formed thickness.

Dim3nsion by JP Medius X26 1.5mm Topdeck

Germany’s Dim3nsion by JP has released a new 1.5 mm carbon topdeck for the Serpent Medius X26 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Expanding the chassis setup options with a more flexible alternative to the standard topdeck, the reduced material thickness allows the chassis to flex more. This additional flex can be particularly beneficial in lower-grip track conditions, helping to generate more mechanical grip and a smoother, more predictable handling characteristic. The topdeck is available in two different versions with the Standard 1.5 mm you get the classic geometry with reduced material thickness. It provides more flex compared to a stiffer topdeck configuration, giving you an additional option to fine-tune the chassis for different track conditions. The Wave 1.5 mm is designed to provide even more flex, creating another level of adjustment for your chassis setup.
