JConcepts has released their new 7″ Hi-Clearance rear wing for the TLR22. 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.

Pro-Line introduce a new Bulldog body shell for the World Championship winning Mugen MBX-7 buggy as well as colour variants of the pre-painted Flo-Tek short course body. Starting with the MBX-7, the Bulldog Gen 3 clear body shell features a larger and higher swoop on the front side panels for more front down-force. The rear section of the roof has been angled off for a new look and to allow more air to get to the cooling fins on the motor. The Gen 3 body also has a raised rear section behind the motor to increase the balance of traction front to rear for more traction on any surface. The body come clear, including window masks and decal sheet. Also new are three colour variants of Pro-Line’s recently introduced pre-painted Flo-Tek SC body. The hand-painted body soon is available as blue, red and yellow variant and the body is compatible with many of today’s 1/10th short course chassis.

JConcepts have released a Finnisher body for the new Xray XB4. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps 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 chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.

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.
