JConcepts re-release the T4.3 Finnisher body

JConcepts is bringing back the Finnisher style stadium truck body shell for the T4.3 Qualifier Series vehicle by Team Associated. The body has been updated to include pre-dimpled locations for the body mounts and the 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 unique 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. The body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet and it fits the T4.3 and T4.1 trucks but, from what is understood, not the T4.2 due to the truck’s different front suspension setup.

JConcepts YZ-2 DTM Punisher 2 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Yokomo YZ-2 DTM is the Punisher 2 body shell. The lid takes design elements of both the S2 and F2 bodies and sports a raised nose/hood section, taller cab and rear end force features. The sidepods are once again “JC chamfered” to provide that legendary look and the secondary window screams JConcepts styling. The cab drops off quickly and runs deep toward the rear giving plenty of drift to the newly added winglets. The tall, rear fin stabiliser acts as a vane to keep the buggy tracking in the proper direction while also maintaining a rigid roof-line even with lightweight materials. The package is available as standard or lightweight variant, arrives complete with two Aero S-type wings as used by Ryan Maifield to claim the 2017 IFMAR World Championship.

Pro-Line TRX-4 Jeep Wrangler body shell

Pro-Line have introduced the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon body shell for the Traxxas TRX-4 trail truck. This body will completely transform the truck into an ultra scale modern Jeep rig perfect for rock crawling. The details from the full-size Jeep Wrangler Rubicon have been faithfully recreated and feature a few moulded in full-size style upgrade parts like rock sliders and tube fenders. The body is much lighter than the stock TRX-4 body for a lower centre of gravity and improved crawling performance. The body also features improved clearance front and rear allowing to tuck in the bumpers for massively improved approach and descent angles to get up and over obstacles easier than ever before. Window masks, paint-then-peel overspray film and fully licensed detailed stickers are included to finish off the look.

JConcepts B6-series P2 buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new Punisher 2 body shell for the Team Associated B6 and B6D buggies. The lid made its debut during the 2017 IFMAR World Championships with Ryan Cavalieri taking a strong 2nd place finish and it separates itself from the rest of the bodies on the market with its distinctive styling. The S2 and F2 body designs have created their own path of success on dirt, carpet and Astroturf with class leading success, now, the P2, will carve its own. The body features a raised nose/hood, taller cab and rear-end force features. The side-pods are once again JC chamfered to provide that legendary look and the secondary window screams JConcepts styling. The cab drops off quickly and runs deep toward the rear giving plenty of drift to the newly added winglets. The tall, rear fin stabiliser acts as a vane to keep the buggy tracking in the proper direction while also maintaining a rigid roofline even with lightweight materials. The package, including a standard or lightweight body shell, arrives complete with two Aero S-type wings used by Ryan Maifield to claim the 2017 IFMAR World Championship. The extended rear gurney lip allows for tuning more grip on the loose surfaces while running with the latest generation in off-road.

JConcepts EB410 F2 body & front scoop

JConcepts have introduced their new F2 body shell and front scoop for the Tekno EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy. Starting with the body, the lid’s design is based off of the original Finisher body but the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with an increased windshield angle that provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and simplified side pods to remove unwanted changes in height. The narrow rear-end of the Tekno played a role in the look and feel, however, the JConcepts designers wanted more. The team incorporated a high-end floor feature which aggressively provides a look and feel not seen before on an RC car and reminiscent of an open wheel Formula car. The F2 is also dramatically lower in height and special consideration was made for the steering, servo horn and front geometry to allow the body to have that drop-on fit. The EB410 kit includes a side-mount fan option which has also been taken into consideration with the F2 body design. The body includes a louver design built into the right hand side pod which runs alongside the fan and scribe lines where the user can add holes for direct air circulation. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest S-Type Aero rear wings used by Ryan Maifield to win the 2017 IFMAR World Championships. The rear wing is also available separately in a 2-piece set as is a front scoop/nose cone that also is a direct fit on the EB410.
