Coming from JConcepts is the L1 Layla LMP body shell for 1/10th formula pan cars such as the Team Associated F6 and the Xray X1. The body has a low-slung appearance and offers complete chassis coverage and a front chin spoiler starts the design for improved steering response and front-end grip. The L1 rises over the suspension and blends with the tyre covers while the closed cockpit design resembles the LMP1 vehicles of the latest generation. The wrap-around window design and full length rear stabilising and rollover fin take over as the design focal point. Over the rear tyres, the shell drops off to close off the rear fender while a recessed area allows room for the rear wing option. The L1 is loaded with louvers, scoops and fine detailing to ensure not only authentic looks, but dedicated function. The separate rear adjustable wing is a two-piece design that attaches with included 3mm hardware. The top element of the wing supplies the down-force helping the L1 whisk through the turns and the side stand-offs bring the height to operating level and helps provide that all important stability. Included in each body set, L1 “Layla” decal sheet, two-piece rear wing, three-piece paint mask for wrap-around window, ten-piece 3mm screw and nut hardware. Body mounts, hardware, conversion or other necessary items for the final fit are not included, however the soon-to-be-released JConcepts part number #2468 contains all parts to convert RC10F6 to a LMP ready vehicle.
