JConcepts RC10B7 precut chassis protective sheet

JConcepts continues its tradition of making tape since 2008 with the newest release of the RC10B7 | RC10B7D chassis protective sheet.  Pre-cut to perfection, lining up to the popular new buggy, the abstract design catches the eye and carries on a legacy of high-end chassis protectors.  The 2-piece design, which includes three separate rear chassis pieces features italicised graphics in a high-speed fashion, embodies all that is great about competition.  The chassis protective sheet is produced in a highly durable material making it ideal for carpet, turf, and dirt off-road racing.  The profile lines the chassis shape and tucks into the front kick-up of the chassis and rests underneath the bumper to limit forward edge access.  Out of the JConcepts Speed Laboratory, the neutral colours and layout match any racing scheme at the track and looks quick while doing it.  With 2 complete sheets included per package, the durable and resilient material fits each chassis layout like a glove and adds protection and style in one easy package.  While it’s not easy to re-invent the chassis sheet, JConcepts, along with Ryan Maifield, also offer a ‘No Apologies’ RM2 version of the sheet.
