JConcepts S2 & F2 TLR 22 5.0 body shells

JConcepts have updated their popular S2 and F2 design body shells to now fit the TLR 22 5.0 buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 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. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Cut-lines are included on the body to accommodate stand-up and lay-down transmission layouts giving all out versatility.

JConcepts B6.1 P2K buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new P2K body shell for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. JConcepts has a rich history in the 2WD buggy class and a passion for the racing performance at the highest level. Throughout the years, the body development has evolved to include an array of features to produce results on a wide range of surfaces. The P2K is the latest body to come from the team produced for the latest generation of 2WD buggies. An evolution of the P2 body, the “K” is more sleek by removing rear down-force features to allow the buggy to turn on the tightest circuits and carpet and astro turf surfaces where traction is always plentiful. To address the latest high-grip conditions, the team put concentration on the rear section of the body allow some freedom of rotation. The entire centre section of the cab on the P2K has a channel based design to flow directly over the middle of the vehicle to stabilise the at-speed handling. The front of the cab, important to performance, includes the P2 position with heavily recessed front windshield. The JConcepts edge treatment remains on the side-capsule area for air-flow direction by the cab and pointing the force to the rear wing area. The chamfering stands out as a JConcepts design feature on every new shell, the P2K has those elements and in great positions for decals and paint allocation. The P2K takes into account the plastic spur gear cover on the B6.1 and drops over the included kit supplied setup. Rear louvers tuck into the rear stance of the shell which can always be customer trimmed for a slight amount of heat escape. The body is available in standard and lightweight variants and it comes including two Aero rear wings.

The size of the tyre has been altered to have a 1/10th scale large appearance that make vintage monsters, monsters. The round profile is there too, with included foam inserts and the design built into the carcass, the truck can have the bubbly look of the 1980’s.
