JConcepts 22X P2 | S15 Bodies

JConcepts has updated their P2 and S15 as the latest body shells in its range to fit the 22X 1:10 2WD Buggy from Team Losi Racing. The P2 is a staple in the Florida company’s product line. The Punisher body shell design started its time in offroad during the 2010 racing season. Over the course of a decade, the design team along with the racers have helped push the envelope and re-invent the Punisher along the way creating the P2. The heritage of the IFMAR World Championship winning S15 design runs deep in the new shell. A great body to decal, the performance body has a lot of racing surface area to display an array of sponsors, and support. With successful designs coming from the Punisher, Finnisher, and Silencer line, the JConcepts crew made the decision to release the S15 for the TLR 22X which hit the market in May. Both bodies arrive as clear polycarbonate with protective film and are available in standard and lightweight formed thickness. The bodies also include two of the 6.5” Carpet | Turf | Dirt wing which is now a standard racing item around the world.

JConcepts 22X F2 | S2 Bodies

JConcepts has released its popular F2 and S2 body shells for the 22X 1:10 2WD Buggy from Team Losi Racing. With the release of the 22X in May, JConcepts set off to incorporate all the functionality of the IFMAR World Championship winning F2 body & the S2 body and wrapped them around the newest kit from TLR. On the F2, the exclusive composition of the cab, extra rear windows, louvered roof all tied together with Finnisher “V” configuration makes it a classic performer. The bodies include two of the 6.5” Carpet | Turf | Dirt wing which is now a standard racing item around the world. The S2 with it slammed overall height allows it to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. Both bodies arrive as clear polycarbonate with protective film and are available in standard and lightweight formed thickness.

Another double for Champlin at INS15 Late Summer Race

Hobbytown Hobbyplex in Omaha, Nebraska, played host to the JConcepts Late-Summer Dirt Indoor Nationals over the weekend where once again it was Schumacher’s Broc Champlin who again did the double. The 15th season of the JConcepts Indoor National Series, Champlin was the big winner at the previous encounter, the Mid-Summer Carpet Indoor Nationals held at Island Speedway in Iowa, and carried that form across to the dirt for the penultimate INS15 encounter. Securing the TQ for both 2WD and 4WD Modified Buggy ahead of Team Associated’s Aydin Horne, with whom he shared buggy wins at the season opening Winter Dirt Indoor Nationals at Trackside Hobbies in Wisconsin back in February, Champlin managed to wrap up both overall wins in A2. In 2WD Horne would win A3 ahead of 3rd place qualifier Davey Batta, a result that would see the Team Associated pairing completed the overall podium. In 4WD, the No.5 Xray of Brennan Schimmel took the win ahead of Horne to knock team-mate & 3rd place qualifier Chase Lemieux off the podium behind Champlin and Horne. The 2025 INS concludes with the Indoor Nationals Finals on October 17-19 at Hoosier RC Hobbyplex in New Albany, Indiana.

JConcepts Injection Molded 1:8 Buggy Front Wings

Having unveiled its new option of injection molded front wing in the early part of the 2025 racing season, JConcepts ups the ante once again with their latest item bringing additional focus to an area of the vehicle that is overlooked. The front of the vehicle is often covered with a nose cone or item which can be painted or decorated to match the body shell paint or scheme. The front wings or scoops available in polycarbonate have since taken over providing some functional consideration to vehicle performance. The polycarbonate versions are often left clear or scuffed, but with new injection molded option, many colours are available to match. The durable nature of the material, the tall side dams built in conjunction with lower front lip gives the front-end benefits in high-speed turns, and sweeping sections. On most vehicles, it simply attaches using an existing screw or set of screws located on the front-end. In some instances, it might be necessary to source a 3mm BHCS to accommodate or mount to a vehicle. On the Xray models, it’s necessary to mount the bracket item to the shock tower first, then install and secure the JConcepts item to the new mounting bracket. The new range of injection molded front wings covers Mugen, Team Associated, Tekno, Sworkz, and Xray.

JConcepts RC10 4WD Carbon Fibre Shock Towers

With option parts in high demand for the recently released RC10 4WD from Team Associated, JConcepts has released Carbon Fibre front and rear shock towers. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry but lacks the strength that Carbon Fibre can provide. The new JC front shock tower includes only the wide-track front suspension geometry and is designed specifically for drivers upgrading to the longer front A-arm version of the RC10. The rear shock tower maintains the RC10 4WD geometry but also includes more adjustment holes including holes found on the race inspired RC10 Worlds car. Both towers include detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response.

JConcepts RC10B7 Silent Speed spur gears

JConcepts has introduced the Silent Speed line of spur gears for the RC10B7 2WD Buggy from Team Associated. Silent Speed spur gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more ‘silence’ on the racetrack. The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance. The gears are marked for size, so they are identifiable unassembled. Silent Speed spur gears are also branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity. The 48P Silent Speed spur gears are available in 70, 72, 75, 78, and 81T.
