JConcepts D8 & MP9 Illuzion shells

JConcepts have released 2 new buggy shells for the World Championship winning Hot Bodies D8 and the Kyosho Inferno MP9. The Illuzion Hi-Flow body has turned radical, presenting a smooth yet detailed design while incorporating many of the features from the original Hi-Flow body. Special consideration has been made for the MP9 considering the air filter, side guards, battery box and extra clearance around the throttle and brake linkage. In addition, JConcepts has taken the frustration out of the stock body design and has detached the front nose piece for extra durability and functionality, which is now bolted to the front shock tower utilizing an existing non structural 3rd screw. Race inspired aggressive styling, Illuzionized cab and durable design are just some of the features that make these new Illuzion bodies stand out.
