JConcepts J21 Javelin F6 formula body shell

Following a somewhat unofficial introduction of their first ever touring car body shell at the recent CETC round in Shanghai, JConcepts have now officially announced the J21 Javelin formula body for the Team Associated F6 1/10th formula car. The concentration of design aspects include a tight fit around the front suspension and main chassis shape. The J21 fits like a top-shelf race body including coverage over the motor and rear axle. The bottom-plate is inventive and helps rear down force in a way that lends itself to a 2017 design. The driver compartment is low-profile with the driver tucked away for the quickest stance possible. The driver helmet is formed separately providing a light-weight alternative to heavy injected moulded plastic used on other models. The design allows for easy painting and detailing of the helmet while the cockpit is accessible enough for decals. Behind the drivers helmet stands the upper cooling engine scoop which transforms into a large stabilising fin for added tracking ability. The side-pods feature under-cutting and recessed areas for vent cut-outs or adding included decals. The entire body packs one of the most sleek looks in class while bolstering a super low-profile design making it highly attractive as a racer and most comparable to the full-scale counterparts. A complete J21 Javelin decal sheet is included for maximum exposure and detailing for the ultimate in show and go.
