Seen for the first time at the recent IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Sydney, Australia, JConcepts has official released its new P2X body for the Schumacher LD3, Xray XB2’25, and Team Associated RC10B7 2Wd Buggies. A staple in the JConcepts product line, the Punisher body shell design, started its time in the off-road division during the 2010 racing season with the ultra-competitive body undergoing new changes to arrive ready to tackle the Worlds track in Castle Hills. P2X is designed for additional rear downforce and developed with our professional racing team to have better rear grip, more balance, and a new ace for outdoor track conditions. P2X dominated the competition in Castle Hills, and provided a stamp of authority by taking TQ, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall in 2WD class, Broc Champlin securing the victory for the JConcepts race team. The P2X arrives with the class leading #0197 wing which has shown incredible performance on Carpet | Turf | Dirt since its development. For racers wanting to add additional rear stability, the 7″ Illuzion monster rear wing is available separately, as used at the world championships.

JConcepts 3DP 1:10 Offroad Carpet tyre

In another new tyre release from JConcepts, the US brand introduces the 1:10 3DP tyre designed and developed for carpet offroad racing. The 3DP is capable of high-performance with advanced wear characteristics, with its longer life span on the carpet created by adding pins and surface edges without reducing driving stability. Looking back in the JConcepts arsenal, a dirt tyre was released in 2011 named the 3D. The tyre was developed as half pin and half bar tire to give a lot of flexibility on different surfaces. Using this identity JConcepts adapted the Fuzz Bite “reverse water tower pins” to the 3DP with a massive increase in pin quantity for the centre portion of the tyre. For the inside and outside positions, unique bars which have been cut and sliced for increased flexibility are positioned like the original 3D dirt tyre. More pins are added in the open spaces utilising the original concept to allow slightly more space on the outside. A radial ring is added to the outside portion of the upper sidewall to provide low edges of contact patch to the racing surface. The 3DP tyres are available as unmounted, and pre-mounted options in either bright white or fluorescent yellow wheel colour combinations.

JConcepts Overdose 1:8 Buggy Tyre

JConcepts has announced the release of its all new Overdose 1:8 Buggy Tyre. With the Florida company’s race team arriving to IFMAR World Championships in Redovan, Spain with the new layered bar tyre for extreme conditions, the tread was up to the task of resisting long runs and main events past 30 minutes of action in the heat and glued track conditions at the Barcelos Buggy Arena track. The name arrives after “over-doing it” and adding additional overlapping bars of tread to form a mat of material. The Overdose tyre is all business, made for high-competition racing, extreme conditions with a large amount of grip. The inner carcass has increased thickness, added inner ribbing instances and generally a more robust carcass to limit overheating, sag, and dimensional instability. With the Overdose in popular compounds such as blue, green, aqua, and silver, you can tune with compound by adding less rolling resistance, and an innovative layered and repeated instances of rubber surface area. The compact and nested centre section of the tire builds the design from the centre out to provide forward bite with directional resistance.

JConcepts RC10B7 Alu Battery Hold and Swing Set

New from JConcepts comes this swing operated battery retainer that is designed for simplicity, adjustability, and quick battery changes. Available in blue and black anodised colours options, the aluminium rails bolt to the standard RC10B7 platform chassis side guards and functions like the stock plastic components. The aluminium swings include hardware for installation and spacers for height adjustment depending on which battery type is used in the vehicle. When using a tall battery pack, it is necessary to install the tall stand-offs under the swing part to raise the height of the entire assembly. For the low-profile battery pack, install the short stand-offs to outfit the configuration to adapt to the required height. Two different length BHCS screws are included and should be used in conjunction with the corresponding stand-off. It is also necessary to use the stock O-rings from the kit parts to provide the cushion and vibration resistance.

JConcepts Protector RC10 1989 Stealth buggy body

New from JConcepts comes the Protector body for the RC10 1989 Stealth buggy from Team Associated. Debuted at the 2025 Team Associated Vintage Championship in Las Vegas last weekend and a hit in the hands of Ryan Maifield, the new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10 and one of the most popular kit bodies of all-time. This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s with rear biased cab, large rear transmission over-hanging section, and large rear windows. The body fits around the 1989 Stealth chassis with careful considerations to the angles, height, and transitions. One of the most retro bodies in the JConcepts fleet, the Protector has very simple side-pods and efficiently covers the chassis. Multiple side windows, including the vintage back window, stand out as class leading details. The front nose piece of the body is feathered on the sides and chamfered to fit between the shock tower and slides just inside and over the top deck. A small, flared section near the front provides clearance around the steering bell cranks and servo link. The rear overhang of the body is what makes a vintage buggy stand out vs later model vehicles. The rise over the rear shock tower has tower protection and an outlining detail around the shocks. Included in each package is a 5.5” wing that is designed to sit flat on the geometry of the body and sits down and hugs the back of the body. A simple, yet detailed wing design provides plenty of “sling” clearance for dirt and debris from the rear tires. A full selection of gurney options on the rear of the wing gives racers a selection of heights to trim to, depending on the level of traction. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode.

JConcepts 0 Offset Alu Clamping Servo Horn

New from JConcepts comes this 0 Offset Aluminium Clamping Servo Horn. The 0 off-set nature of this design works in conjunction with the #5209 JConcepts steering kit and in particular the alternate pick-up point on the JConcepts bell cranks matches this new servo horn and provides a proper alignment. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on top surrounds the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity. Available in black anodising, the 16.5mm clamping servo horn is great for vehicles such as the RC10B7 using the #5209 steering kit and others which require the same height.
