JConcepts DEX410 Finnisher body shell

JConcepts have extended their line of Finnisher shells to include the Durango DEX410. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while 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 and with the addition of fastening hook and loop tape, eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature and a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body through its V-shaped design. Three additional air-flow scoop locations have been also incorporated into the body design, the first, directly in front of the windshield which allows for fresh incoming air treatment and second, 1 on each of the side-pods to help air-out the inside of the body during heated running conditions.

JConcepts MP9 & RC8.2 Finnisher bodies

Expanding their body range, JConcepts have introduced the MP9 and RC8.2 Finnisher shells. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have a strong and chiseled look, including a recessed area in the rear which allows another option for air-escape. The chassis side-guard to body fit has been tightened up which helps eliminate large empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The area behind the cab has been greatly lowered exposing more of the engine heat-sink allowing more heat-escape while the V-stepped feature which is a highlighted styling cue of the Finnisher buggy bodies has been incorporated toward the rear and allows an additional area that can be trimmed to allow air-flow through the body.
