JConcepts T4.2 Finnisher 1/10th truck body

Seen at last weekend’s JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals, the new Finnisher 1/10th truck body for the T4.2 racing truck is now available. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the redesigned front-end T4.2 geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the T4.2 body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body.

Protoform PFL128 race body

Seen in a teaser image a while back Protoform have now released full details on the all-new PFL128 race body. This body takes styling cues from a “new for 2013” LMP2 racer slated to run in the WEC Championship along with 24h of Le Mans. Air management and body rigidity were the prime considerations when re-designing the front fenders and lengthening the side recesses. The PFL128 meets all EFRA (#31531), IFMAR and ROAR body rule requirements and includes headlamp decals, as per ROAR rules. It is available in three weights of genuine lexan: . 040” (regular weight), .030” (light weight) and .025 Lexan® (PRO-lite weight for expert racers only). Included with the PFL128 is protective outer film, body side-stiffeners (w/hardware) and decal sheet.

JConcepts Finnisher 1/8th wing

The new Finnisher wing from JConcepts features a high-attack, V-angle design with adjustable gurney and winglet options. A radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design, the new wing includes elements and features never seen before in 1/8th Off-Road. An option gurney or winglet is easily added to the wing with one simple 3x8mm screw. The wing can be run stock with a small winglet which provides some edge stability and light deflection. The included optional 2-piece gurney slides in through the bottom on both sides adding that small vertical wall at the rear providing that last bit of tuning ability on dusty and low grip conditions. The wing to vehicle attachment is made easy with included, screw-in type and body-clip type wing button choices adding security and additional detail. Top off the appearance of the Finnisher by applying the pre-cut decal wrap on each panel surface for the ultimate look and performance.

JConcepts MBX7 Silencer body shell

New from JConcepts comes the Silencer body shell for the Mugen MBX7 buggy. Intended especially for high speed tracks such as the one found at the 2012 IFMAR World Championship in Buenos Aires, the body was designed from the ground up and features a narrowed, Finisher stance cockpit for better fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the heat-sink area with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tires. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical/linkage make up the main pods. The body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet.
