JConcepts Fin Reamer bodyshell reamer

Coming from JConcepts is the Fin Reamer for polycarbonate bodyshells and wings. The custom 0 to 14mm reamer design combines a sharp, durable tip with an aluminium handle which is available in blue and black colours. The handle features an ergonomic shape with finned cuts and tear-drop recessed areas to reduce weight and add an important lustre to the design. The reamer tip cover is a moulded plastic component built just for the design and application. The stacked piping on the cover packs a look but also serves as a grip for the on and off process. The handle also has an end cap which includes the JC logo.

JConcepts Wash Brush tyre cleaning brush

JConcepts have introduced their innovative Wash Brush, a brush purpose built to make tyre washing easier. Tyre washing is a common sight in both nitro and electric off-road racing and it’s common to attach a brush to a re-sealable bucket for repeated pit use; however, it’s difficult to attach the brush. The JConcepts product eliminates the hassle by including the properly built RC brush with hardware and O-rings in each package. Moulded black in colour with JC logo for authenticity, the wash brush is a no-brainer item for the pits and around the track, home and pit area.
