JConcepts P2 body for B6.4

JConcepts has released the P2 for the Team Associated B6 platform and describes their latest body as ‘the meanest, nastiest thing out for 1/10th buggy racing’. The Punisher 2 separates itself from the rest of the bodies on the market with its distinctive styling. The S2 and F2 body designs have created their own path of success on dirt, carpet, and Astroturf with class leading success, now, the P2, will carve its own. The P2 concentrates on performance with riveting details including raised nose / hood, taller cab and rear-end force features. The side-pods are once again JC chamfered to provide that legendary look and the secondary window screams JConcepts styling. The cab drops off quickly and runs deep toward the rear giving plenty of drift to the newly added winglets. The tall, rear fin stabilizer acts as a vane to keep the buggy tracking in the proper direction while also maintaining a rigid roof-line even with light-weight materials. The package arrives complete with, two, Carpet, Turf, and Dirt wings used routinely by Ryan Maifield, Spencer Rivkin, and Dakotah Phend. Included window masks make painting quick and easy and JConcepts decal sheet allows detailing to look sharp and noticeable.

Factory Team Vertical Ballstud Mount Set

Team Associated’s Factory Team brand has released Vertical Ballstud Mounts for the RC10B74 series cars, including the B74.2 and B74.2D. These vertical ballstud mounts increase the tunability of the rear camber link, allowing for lower ballstud positions to be used as well as a further outward ballstud position. These pieces mount directly to the tower included in the kit. The intent of these mounts is to allow drivers more versatility than what is available on the kit tower, particularly regarding mounting the inner rear ballstud, which affects the roll center and camber gain of the car. The extent of the available adjustment range will depend on multiple factors such as differential height, hub height, link length, and more.
