JConcepts Finnisher for TLR22 & DEX210

JConcepts Finnisher for TLR22 & DEX210

JConcepts have introduced 2 new Finnisher shells for the TLR22 and the new Durango DEX210 2wd chassis’. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC styled 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. Body bodies are a drop fit onto their respective cars. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.

Method RC have released their Mirage body for the TLR 22 in both mid and rear motor configurations. The compact proportions of the Mirage lower the overall vehicle weight and center of gravity, improving performance. The blade-like styling complements the narrow and angular chassis, while also enhancing aerodynamic performance and overall downforce moving the centre of pressure forward to help steering feel without giving up forward bite. The nose tucks tightly behind the front shock towers to reduce profile drag of the body.
