Cosmic Industries 1/8th & 1/10th buggy bodies & wings

Cosmic Industries, known for the JQRacing THECar 1/8th bodyshell that made a first appearance during the 2014 IFMAR Worlds in Sicily, now officially launched their range of 1/8th and 1/10th scale bodyshells and accessories. The core idea of their products is to improve the performance level of the wings and bodies to match with today’s highly engineered cars and high speed tracks. Cosmic Industries body kits are meant to offer more stability on high speed straights, technical jump sections, and more traction on corners. And all this with less drag, which means more speed and faster laps. Beside the JQ Racing THECar Balancer body the company also offers body kits for 1/10th Yokomo and Team Associated kits as well as unique dual-layer 1/10th scale wings.

JConcepts aluminium & carbon fibre setting board

Coming from JConcepts is the aluminium and carbon fibre setting board. A piece of art the board is made up using 2.5mm woven carbon fibre that has been machined to size with corner radius and countersunk. Four separate aluminium trim pieces are custom machined, anodized in either blue or black and etched with JConcepts.net logos for authenticity. The four trim pieces are attached together using heavy-duty 3mm hardware from the top and corners forming the frame for the setting board. The flat panel carbon material is dropped into place and secured with hefty flat head fasteners. The final product shows like an exotic race car while providing that all important flat surface for final setting and ride-height adjustments. The unit is light-weight for travel and can be disassembled for even more convenient packing procedures. The setting board is large enough for all 1/10th scale vehicles and also used for 1/8th applications. A protective film for the setting board is available separately. Once applied by the individual, the film resists more cuts and scratches for the racer who wants to take no chances with their prized possession.
