JConcepts 1/8th truck Hybrids

JConcepts 1/8th truck Hybrids

A combination of years of development with JConcepts drivers, the Hybrids are all the rage and the combination of the most popular JConcepts tires available. A mid-lug design with unique inner Crowbar center lug DNA, the Hybrid is built for speed and ultimate high-speed control and handling. Supported lug control and X-braced sidewall lug detail is designed to go the distance in long qualifiers, final main events and beyond. Adapted for the 1/8th truck class featuring the Elevated Bead design the lightweight continuous tire body design minimizes rotating mass which makes the 1/8th truck Hybrid a dynamite performer straight out of the package. Extensive testing showed a smaller pin height advantageous in many conditions and particularly when sharp angles and edges arise in the track surface. At the base of the design, the new mid-height lugs present the compound to the racing surface while the center lug DNA picks up the heavy lifting for forward-bite. Available in Soft (Blue) and Super Soft (Green) compounds.

JConcepts shock stand

JConcepts shock stand

Seen at last weekend’s Short Course Showdown, JConcepts adds to its extensive accessory line with the addition of a user friendly shock stand. During shock rebuilds racers are always searching for that perfect shock stand which is light-weight, durable and easy to set-up and tear-down on any given race day. The JConcepts shock stand has 2 different heights which accommodate both 1/10th and 1/8th length and diameter shocks as well as center-punched dimples which help locate center. The design is also centered around a placement area which a standard soda can or water bottle can be used as a dump location for used fluids. For the extra efficient racer, the shock stand will also stack inside the JConcepts Vehicle Stand to maximize space and for packing considerations. As a bonus the shock stand can be used as a serviceable stand for an iPad or cased iPhone for a neat and clean pit area or general use around the home or office.

JConcepts B44.1 Finnisher body

JConcepts-Finnisher-B44_1

After releasing the Finnisher body shell for the Associated B4.1 JConcepts now comes up with the 4WD variant in the form of the B44.1 Finnisher shell. Designed with aspects learned from the Punisher line of bodies, the new design provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. The increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and forward cab placement changes the performance and visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The B44.1 Finnisher body is a drop fit for the Associated B44.1 buggy and comes including two 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings used by Ryan Maifield at the IFMAR World Championships.

JConcepts have announced the Hazard 12mm hex wheel for the SC10 4×4 and SC10. A powerful new look that combines the winning combination of a 10 spoke design, bead-lock appearance and center lug nut detail with a hint of inspiration from yesteryear. The Hazard will make an immediate impact on the performance of the SC10 trucks by widening the stance of the truck by 6mm in overall width. The increased width will maximize the SC10 and bring it up to the ROAR maximum legal limits in dimensional width.

JConcepts Illuzion Hi-Flow SCT body

JConcepts have released the Illuzion Hi-Flow SCT body. Sporting a fashionable racing look, the body panel attack angles and even greater air escape packages give the Hi-Flow class leading performance. The air escape package consists of user friendly trim-out areas which have been strategically placed to ensure a clean race-able look that minimizes the trouble-some parachute effect. The large Hi-Flow areas are depressed into the body which allows the user to simply score the bottom pocket and pop-out for instant results. The hood-scoop, used predominantly as an under / over air release feature, blends beautifully into the sculpted extra-clearance fenders while releasing the front end of inner pressure. The top, rear, fender corners have been wedged reducing dead space, allowing more pass-through area minimizing unwanted air collection. The roof of the body has been dramatically ‘rock-a-bye’ shaped to promote a continuous roll in the event of roof crashes while performance enhanced number and name plates provide straight-line stability.
