JConcepts J82 Conversion kit

JConcepts have introduced a revolutionary new vehicle concept, the J82, that combines the drivability of a 1/10th truck with the fascination of a buggy. Essentially a conversion kit for the Associated RC10T4 vehicle, the J82 provides the opportunity to race with more confidence for an extended period of time. With this conversion, a driver can now compete in two classes on the same day using just one vehicle. Jason Ruona stated-

Trucks have always been easier to drive making them a popular choice in competition. The buggy class has always been looked at as the more prestigious class – Now the World’s have collided.

Protoform Losi 8ight-T Harddrive body

Protoform Harddrive body for Losi 8ight T

Protoform have released the all-new Harddrive body for the Losi 8ightT, which incorporates the latest in ventilation design queues that racers around the world have come to expect from PF. Emulated after full-scale off-road vehicles, each vent can be cut out allowing for air to flow more effortlessly through the body. This creates less airtime when flying over jumps and less airtime equals more time on the ground which equals reduced lap times and greater consistency lap after lap.

Atomic-Carbon B44 optional bodyshell

Former European Champion Chris Doughty has the first pictures of the Atomic-Carbon B44 optional body that is used with the Atomic-Carbon B44 optional Carbon Fibre Tub Chassis. The shell is still in its prototype phase so final details need to confirmed but the front and rear towers have been shaped to allow airflow over the body so as not get blocked by the tower. The body is lower than that for the S4 yet there is plenty of room for full size servos, receivers and TC style fan mounted speed controllers.

Check out more pictures here.
