JConcepts 22X-4 F2 body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new F2 body shell for the TLR 22X-4 buggy. The initial F2 design quickly proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the original Finnisher bodies, the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance and it is a drop fit for the popular TLR 22X-4 buggy. With the evolution of racetracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The rear of the pod has been lowered giving a low-profile look. The front of the body has the Finnisher step-down treatment giving the 22X-4 first in class styling. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher V-step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and several louver options off the rear. The F2 body in the hands of Dakotah Phend won the 2020 Midwest Championship and JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals. The JConcepts body is designed exclusively for the new 22X-4 platform and includes all the necessary cut-lines and each package includes the S-Type wings. Additional S-Type wings are also sold separately.

Xray XB8 & XT8 aluminium high torque flywheel

Xray have introduced their new lightweight aluminium high torque flywheel for the XB8 and XT8 nitro kits. The Swiss 7075 aluminium 3-shoe flywheel helps to increase acceleration and improves throttle feeling. Strategically lightened compared to the standard #358532 flywheel, the lightweight variant does not sacrifice strength or durability. The highly polished and thus very smooth flyweight pins are factory-attached and the knurled outer edge makes for easy starting on the starter box and an integrated cover prevents dirt from entering the engine bearing.
