New for the Traxxas Slash, the BAJR as it is named, is concept inspired from the ground up to be the ultimate in desert and off-road looks and performance. The BAJR is a fresh design, starting from the front of the vehicle, the super narrow and tucked front quarter panel treatment creates one of the slickest Illuzionized looks around. The round Baja-esque profile of the cab area gives that familiar desert appearance. As the design develops toward the rear, the pronounced roof scoop, and proceeding cut-out and escape area makes this body unmistakably JConcepts. Pronounced rear fender flare treatment and dovetail rear end finishes off the most concept inspired Short Course body to date.

East Coast Bodies now offer their 1/10th 200mm body shells, the Access 2.8 and Sciricco models, in half painted versions. ECB have taken the effort out of painting and mounting the body, by supplying the shell pre trimmed meaning you only need to back it with a single colour to complete the great carbon fibre layout with sharp orange look. This series of bodies has been made using new super-PC material which gives the body longer life, makes it last longer, more flexible and have less damage. Both bodies are supplied with a decal sheet, window mask as well as 3 different types of rear wing together with the wing end plates.

The Audi A5 body for the 1/10 scale 200mm nitro class has made an impressive racing entry when all ten finalists at the recently held German Nationals at Tuerkheim have been using this new body shell. For the first time the Audi body was seen during practice of the season opener of the Western German Championship early April at Oberhausen when Xray/Orcan team drivers Dirk Wischnewski and Freddy Suedhoff conducted mayor tests with one of the first prototypes. During the development a total of ten different prototype bodies have been tested. “Our main goal was to develop a body which is easy to drive and offers as much front-end grip as possible”, says 2009 European Champion Dirk Wischnewski who runs most of the test sessions and exerted the main influence on the body development. “It has been really interesting to see the improvements of the different development steps.”
