The 1978 Chevy Camaro by JConcepts is a great compliment to an emerging entry level class on the dirt-oval racing scene. The new body shell features a fastback roofline with built-in rear spoiler, traditional V-nose and grille with perched headlights. The rear is highlighted by large format taillight and turn signal combination lamps. In addition, the large format side-windows and wrap-around rear window scream late 1970’s styling cues. The 1978 Camaro debuted in May of 2019 at the inaugural JConcepts Spring Dirt Oval Nationals in Omaha, Nebraska to a thrilling reception. As with all JConcepts body shells, the set includes clear body, window mask, instruction sheet and decal sheet. The body measures a 11″ wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 9.50″ front and 9.75″ rear width. The body is built for a 2wd off-road buggy wheelbase and width and requires body mounting assistance or while using the B6, the JConcepts recommend shock towers (#2716, #2717) and Team Associated T6.1 body mounts.
T-Works have introduced two new shock diaphragm sets for 16mm big bore shock absorbers. Available in a softer hollow and a harder honeycomb design variant, the diaphragms fit many of today’s 16mm 1/8th scale shock absorbers and they help to adjust rebound to the driver’s liking. The hollow “A” variants will make for smoother rebound characteristics as the honeycomb “B” volume compensators will make for a harder rebound, the latter being a good choice especially for smoother track conditions. The A and B variants are available as separate 4-piece sets.
