Seen for the first time at the recent IFMAR electric off-road World Championships in Finland JConcepts now release the Finnisher body shell for Team Associated B4.1 buggies with +8mm long-wheelbase conversions as well as the Hi-Clearance 6.5″ rear wing. An increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. 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 neutralise the at-speed handling. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. Included are two of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.
