JConcepts Finnisher body for XB4

JConcepts have released a Finnisher body for the new Xray XB4. 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 neutralize 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. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.

JConcepts Escape body for SC10B

Introducing the Escape body by JConcepts, specifically designed for the newly released Team Associated SC10B vehicle. Breaking into the world of Short Course buggy racing, JConcepts has stepped up with the first aftermarket body designed around the new high-energy vehicle. The first thing noticed on the Escape is its narrowed front-end which tucks nicely against the chassis geometry. The increased front tuck tightens up the large gap in-between the chassis and stock SC10B body making the Escape a superior jumping body with its first heavy detail. Just above the tucked portion, in front of the cock-pit area, rests a reverse scoop giving an area to trim for more air-relief. A small ledge entering the cab guides the air slightly further than the original body while the main side-pods have chiseled ducts which wrap around the bolt-on plastic caging. Just behind the roll-cage area, number plates are built into the body giving the body a slightly raked look and appropriate place for small racing numbers.
