JConcepts S15 B6.4 & B74.2 bodies

Debuting at the recent 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Arizona, JConcepts has officially released its S15 body for both the Team Associated B6.4 2WD & B74.2 4WD buggies.  Designed, built, and produced in the 11th hour, the new S15 body is available for both the standard and Dirt versions of both chassis.  With successful designs coming from the Punisher, Finnisher, and Silencer line, the JConcepts crew made the decision, it was time for the S15. Incorporating lessons from the lineage, the team concentrated on the single cock-pit placement, deflection angles, hard edged (JConcepts chamfering), and side pod winglets. The single side window design is a departure from the usual JC team body shells but drops in nicely on the S15. Driving the S15, it performs like a champion, albeit slightly different than its predecessors, the delicate nature of the shell allows the driver to flow, drive smoothly, and radius difficult corners without over aggression.
