JConcepts B4.1 Punisher

Seen back in August the Punisher body by JConcepts for the B4.1 is now available. Debuted at the 2010 ROAR Off-Road Nationals, the radical new body stares you down like a trained fighter. The slight cab-forward treatment is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. Blended wing / body design gives additional down-force to the side-pods and windshield which increases drive-ability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/10th buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased air flow, escape and body placement. In addition to the newly designed body JConcepts has included 2 of the popular 6.5″ wide high downforce V-wings that are commonly used around the world.
