JConcepts B74 F2 buggy body shell

JConcepts have announced the release of their new F2 body shell for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. 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 with the F2 body being a drop fit for the popular Team Associated B74. An increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and the forward cab placement changes the 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 neutralise the at-speed handling. The rear of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear. The body is designed exclusively for the new B74 platform and includes all the necessary cut-lines and each package includes two S-Type rear wings.

T-Works roll out B74 optionals

Coming from T-Works and made for the new Team Associated B74 buggy are a couple of option parts such as titanium ball ends, turnbuckles and screw sets. First up is a 14-piece ball end set that is machined from high-quality 64 grade titanium. The parts replace the standard ball ends for items of lower weight and greater corrosion resistance. Also new is a 7-piece set of titanium turnbuckles. Like the ball ends the parts will lower the overall weight while offering cool looks and greater corrosion resistance. Last but not least come two screw kits – a 119-piece UFO head titanium set and a 144-piece gold-colour steel fastener kit. The titanium set will again make for a weight reduction while the golden screws mainly add bling.
