JConcepts Slash 4×4 mesh chassis cover

JConcepts have introduced their new breathable mesh chassis cover for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 short course truck. When racing on a loamy or topsoil track surface the inside of the Slash chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the mesh chassis cover these worries are minimized with the simple and functional part. Fitting nicely under the body, the JConcepts chassis cover hugs the outside dimension of the Slash chassis protecting the inside from unwanted excess dirt and debris build-up during racing and bash conditions. The chassis cover fits snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached along the sides with the included hook and loop tape for easy access. The versatile part of the design comes from the mesh material, zipper closure and Velcro attachment which makes changing batteries or routine maintenance a breeze. The mesh itself is breathable and keeps out large debris while allowing airflow around the electrical items inside the chassis.

JConcepts B6.1 Fin titanium turnbuckles black

Coming from JConcepts is the black colour Fin titanium turnbuckle set for the Team Associated B6.1 buggy. The base of the design is centered around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts the standard AE ball-cup configuration. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the “finned” cuts that rotate about the center. The turnbuckles are lightweight and the black coloring gives the stealthiest look in the pits and on the track.
