JConcepts XB4 ’24 S2 Body

JConcepts has released its S2 body for the popular Xray XB4 ’24 1:10 4WD Buggy. Dubbed the S2, the new shell rocks some familiar features but rolled together with a low-profile stance. With an IFMAR Championship credibility backing this design, the S2 is a performer straight out of the package and includes the carpet | turf | dirt rear wing to help deliver results on any racing circuit. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish.

Leadfinger Racing V2 Beretta 1:8 Body

US offroad bodyshell manufacturer Leadfinger Racing has revealed the upcoming V2 version of its Beretta 1:8 Buggy body. The V2 Beretta is a design concept that combines their previous Assassin, A2.1 Tactic and Berretta body features. The modern combination complements both hard and soft lines that provide perfect overall balance under multi surface track testing. At the front of the body, the added “fin rails” located on the front the side pods are new for LFR and provide an “edge” that significantly increases corner traction, entry and speed. The fin rails flow seamlessly into the V2’s rear side pods that have been carried over from the Beretta body. The rear chiseled design helps to maintain downforce evenly during corner exit, high speed jumping and plants the buggy more consistently upon landing. The added winglets on the top of the pods are an original design concept first seen on Ty Tessmann’s Worlds winning HB D15 in 2014. The rake of the windshield and cab shape stem from the 2012 Assassin body line while the integrated shark fin comes from Serpent’s earlier 2000’s 1:10 offroad bodies. Quickly becoming a trend in 1:8, the added stability performance continues to be a popular feature to offer. Successful testing has been completed on the Tekno NB 2.2, HB D819 and Kyosho MP10 race buggies, with LFR set to do testing on the Sparko F8, Mugen MBX8 and Sworkz platforms. The expected official release of the new V2 Beretta is the upcoming IFMAR Worlds in Spain.
