JConcepts T4.1 Finnisher & Pressure Points

Seen in pre production guise previously, JConcepts have released their Finnisher 1/10th truck body for the T4.1 racing truck. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight. Also new for 1/10th truck is the Pressure Points in blue, green and gold compounds. They are the latest low-height tread option specifically designed to tame high-speed courses with either wet or blue groove traction conditions. The design starts as an angular, low pin design as a carryover from the successful Bar Codes front tire line-up. The small “points” combined with “lower case” Y elements developed on the original Bar Codes V1 rear tire provide the ultimate in surface area “pressure” penetration and tack.

Bittydesign Force body for XB9

Bittydesign have released the new Force body for the Xray XB9 buggy. Recently shown at the Euros in Austria, the new body is a real good alternative to the existing stock body. Italian Xray Factory driver Alessandro Stocco used the new body during qualifying at the Euros and his impressions were really good saying the car had more steering in low speed corners but at same time was more stable on high speed turns compared to the standard body. The big fin on the roof and the rear engine ‘reverse scoop’ section complete the look of this new cab forward body. Made from high quality 1mm thick Lexan polycarbonate, it is sold with window masks, decal sheet and protective film.

FTW Diamondback SC body shell

FTW introduce the Diamondback short course body shell for most of today’s 1/10th 2WD and 4WD SC trucks. Innovation in design creates the illusion of a lean, chopped cab profile and a high-rise cowl induction hood was integrated with a provision for a huge cut-out to shed under hood air. The raked wind shield flows into a lowered center section of the roof, terminating in a gaping cutout provision strategically recessed into the back of the cab to further mitigate the parachute effect. Additional cut-out provisions in the bed area are surrounded by a roll cage. The body comes unpainted and includes two decal sheets and window masks.

Pro-Line BullDog Body for TLR22T

Pro-Line have released the BullDog Body for the TLR22T racing truck. Pro-Line took great care in refining the design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency. This is a must have 22T body for the new racing season.
