Seen for the first time during the recent JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals JConcepts now officially introduce the Silencer design bodyshell for the Team Associated B5 buggy. Sporting a mild cab forward design with a shark fin moulded into the roof, the Silencer separates from the B5 kit body by sporting forward raised sidepods, air scoops for improved airflow and an overall low-profile appearance for improved aerodynamics and a different look. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and two 6.5″ Hi-Clearance wings. Source: JConcepts [jconcepts.net]…

…air escape along with rear-end stability. The side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The extended runner features on the rear-end of the body enhance the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered with a more heat-shrink design over the speed control and motor areas. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal and it is capped off with a cockpit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness.

Team Muso introduce the LM-P Type 1 bodyshell for 200mm World GT cars. Designed to resemble modern LMP cars the body is tuneable with additional parts in the form of a nose section and rear shark fin to create a total of four body configurations that not only look different but change the overall driving characteristic. Both the body and the accessories come made from clear polycarbonate. Source: Team Muso [team-muso.com]…

Turns out Aaron knows a thing or two about beer. A very interesting & enjoyable tour followed by an opportunity to sample some…

Coming late September is Team Losi Racing’s 22 2.0 cab forward body shell. Seen for the first time at the recent Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout the newly designed shell sports a very wide and highly angled windscreen and a long roof section that ends in a low shark fin and raised rear area, again with fins to bundle the air towards the new rear wing. The body is designed for the use with the new TLR 22 2.0 and offers more room around the battery section. As usual it comes clear, with window masks and a new heavy-duty rear wing….

The body’s side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The Silencer is capped off with a cockpit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness. As usual…
