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.
