JConcepts B5M Finnisher bodyshell

After releasing a whole load of Silencer design bodyshells JConcepts now comes back to the popular Finnisher body that soon will become available for Team Associated’s B5M buggy. The Finnisher sports a smoother high-speed transition with increased flow past the side-pods that lends itself perfect to high-speed circuits. As track conditions have advanced through additives, treatments and maintenance, the ultimate aero package flows through the turns, produces traction and jumps with consistency. The body is capped off with a centre roof channel for high speed tracking stability, increased roof stiffness and dual side window treatment. Included with the body come two 6.5″ Hi-Clearance rear wings.
