JConcepts YZ-4 S2 buggy bodyshell

Following the F2 body for the YZ-2 JConcepts have now also introduced the S2 body for the YZ-4 buggy. A 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 balance and steering. A channelled 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. The clear body comes including window masks, a decal sheet and two Aero rear wings.
