JConcepts S2 8ight-E 4.0 buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced the S2 body shell for the TLR 8ight-E 4.0 buggy. The S2 design, originally made popular for the 1/10th off-road crowd, had a lot of influence over this design. It sports a forward cab, low-profile stance with channeled roof and rear stabilising fin. The front of the pods have deep pocketed and “force-bars” channel some air in a much needed forward position while also providing a more rigid feel to the body. The low-profile side-pods whisk over the electrical and step where necessary and the rear wicker section improves rear-end grip and tightens up the handling. The clear body set includes window templates and a decal sheet and it is a direct fit on the 8ight-E 4.0.

Pro-Line Bomber Pro-Panels clear body shell

Pro-Line have released the Pro-Panels body shell for the Axial Bomber rock racer kit. The Pro-Panels are a direct replacement for the stock hood, roof and side panels and feature added shape details for a more aggressive look. The back of the roof features an optional brake light mount for 4″ light bars that can simply be trimmed away along the roof line if no light bars are used. Since the Pro-Panels come clear, drivers can put their own custom paint job on the Bomber and separate their rig from the rest. The Pro-Panels are made from very thick and super durable polycarbonate for long lasting performance.

JConcepts J21 Javelin F6 formula body shell

Following a somewhat unofficial introduction of their first ever touring car body shell at the recent CETC round in Shanghai, JConcepts have now officially announced the J21 Javelin formula body for the Team Associated F6 1/10th formula car. The concentration of design aspects include a tight fit around the front suspension and main chassis shape. The J21 fits like a top-shelf race body including coverage over the motor and rear axle. The bottom-plate is inventive and helps rear down force in a way that lends itself to a 2017 design. The driver compartment is low-profile with the driver tucked away for the quickest stance possible. The driver helmet is formed separately providing a light-weight alternative to heavy injected moulded plastic used on other models. The design allows for easy painting and detailing of the helmet while the cockpit is accessible enough for decals. Behind the drivers helmet stands the upper cooling engine scoop which transforms into a large stabilising fin for added tracking ability. The side-pods feature under-cutting and recessed areas for vent cut-outs or adding included decals. The entire body packs one of the most sleek looks in class while bolstering a super low-profile design making it highly attractive as a racer and most comparable to the full-scale counterparts. A complete J21 Javelin decal sheet is included for maximum exposure and detailing for the ultimate in show and go.
