JConcepts Flip Outs, Punisher & SC Ford Raptor

New from JConcepts, Flip Outs give drivers that tire in-between the Goose Bumps and Double Dees they have asked for. A very small pin construction makes up the foundation for the Flip Outs design and gives the grip when racers need it most, when the conditions are wet and green in the morning, traction is sometimes hard to come-by. Alternating center bar support provides the base for the forward traction while the small accommodating tapered pins provide the dig and flex under hard acceleration and cornering. Having shown the prototype Punisher shell for the Associated RC8B a while ago, it has been finalised and is now available. The slight cab-forward treatment is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance, while a blended wing / body design gives additional down-force to the side-pods and windshield which increases drivability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/8th buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape.
