JConcepts Escape body for SC10B

Introducing the Escape body by JConcepts, specifically designed for the newly released Team Associated SC10B vehicle. Breaking into the world of Short Course buggy racing, JConcepts has stepped up with the first aftermarket body designed around the new high-energy vehicle. The first thing noticed on the Escape is its narrowed front-end which tucks nicely against the chassis geometry. The increased front tuck tightens up the large gap in-between the chassis and stock SC10B body making the Escape a superior jumping body with its first heavy detail. Just above the tucked portion, in front of the cock-pit area, rests a reverse scoop giving an area to trim for more air-relief. A small ledge entering the cab guides the air slightly further than the original body while the main side-pods have chiseled ducts which wrap around the bolt-on plastic caging. Just behind the roll-cage area, number plates are built into the body giving the body a slightly raked look and appropriate place for small racing numbers.

JConcept precut chassis protective sheet

A high-end item used for many years on the performance side of R/C racing is the chassis protective sheet. For years, drivers have hand-cut and fitted their chassis with a clear material protecting the new chassis look and also providing a smooth or slick surface to decrease friction between chassis and dirt surfaces. JConcepts has hit the easy and glamor button at the same time and is now offering a precut and graphically pleasing chassis protective sheet for the most popular 1/10th off-road vehicles on the market. With 2 pieces included per package, the durable and low-resistance material fits each chassis layout like a glove and adds protection and style in one easy package. Available for the Associated B4.2, T4.2, B44.2, SC10, SC10B, TLR22, 22T, 22SCT, RB6, ZX5 FS2, DEX210 and DEX410.

JConcepts AE titanium turnbuckles

JConcepts introduces a stylish, durable and lightweight alternative Titanium turnbuckle kit for the popular Team Associated vehicles. The base of the shafts design is centered around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts standard JC and AE ball-cup configurations. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the ‘finned’ cuts that rotate about the center. The fin turnbuckles are lightweight and the original design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought after exotic materials in the world. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left and right hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation. The suitable JConcepts turnbuckle adjustment wrench is offered separately.

JConcepts Pressure Points for 1/10th buggy

JConcepts’ new Pressure Points are the latest low-height tread option specifically designed to tame high-speed courses with either wet or blue groove traction conditions. The design starts as an angular, low pin design as a carryover from the successful Bar Codes front tire line-up. The small “points” combined with “lower case” Y elements developed on the original Bar Codes V1 rear tire provide the ultimate in surface area “pressure” penetration and tack. The inner carcass and side-wall has built-in ribbing which limits carcass collapse and increases support on the outside during hard cornering and driving. The new inner ribbing, combined with the included JConcepts insert, is a perfect match to provide the ultimate in support, traction and consistency. The Pressure Points are designed to be driven hard while maintaining the grip necessary to drive at the limit. The edges of the side-walls have been carefully rolled for a smooth transition during cornering which limits traction-roll characteristics and allows the driver control during the all important tipping point every driver has experienced. Available in blue, green and gold compounds.

JConcepts 7″ Hi-Clearance wing

JConcepts 7" Hi-Clearance wing

JConcepts has released a 7” wide version of their popular hi-clearance wing introduced to competition during the recent Reedy Race of Champions. A slightly wider base gives the wing a larger surface area which allows more stability during low and high speeds which provide some much needed grip in tricky situations. The Hi-Clearance sections near the end plates still allow maximum suspension compression and tire expansion.

JConcepts wheel dish for Hazard wheel

The Hazard wheel by JConcepts has taken the Short Course class by storm. With victories all over the world and back-to-back ROAR National Championships, the Hazard has established itself as the go-to wheel for Short Course racing on the Team Associated SC10, SC10 4×4 and TLR 22 SCT and Losi SCT-E. With advancements and perspective changing within the Short Course Class and driver preferences focusing more exclusively on performance, JConcepts has added a much anticipated accessory to the line-up. The wheel dish, available in black, white and yellow, can add a personal or more focused driven setup tweak to the popular Hazard wheel. The wheel dish is injection molded plastic and features built-in geometry to engage into the Hazard wheel and provide that dish wheel style with very minimal effort. The wheel dish is cleverly designed to secure to the wheel and with just the addition of the wheel nut, clamps right into place.

JConcepts T4.2 Finnisher 1/10th truck body

Seen at last weekend’s JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals, the new Finnisher 1/10th truck body for the T4.2 racing truck is now available. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the redesigned front-end T4.2 geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the T4.2 body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.
