JConcepts Hi-Clearance wing for TLR 22

JConcepts Hi-Clearance wing for TLR 22

JConcepts have released their Hi-Clearance wing as a direct fit for the TLR 22. 1/10th buggies are very dependent on the rear wing for traction, flight control and balance. The Hi-Clearance wing incorporates several important elements making it the most versatile wing yet. JConcepts has joined the high-performance wing into a paired combination that is easier to trim, detail and finish and each performance wing package now includes 2 wings for added value to the customer. The Hi-Clearance feature provides extra clearance for the expansion of tires during high acceleration points and especially on high speed straight-aways and also allows for full suspension movement during hard landings and full compression during cornering.

JConcepts Finnisher B4.1 +8mm body

JConcepts Finnisher B4.1 +8mm body & Hi-Clearance wing

Back in August JConcepts released a fresh new Finnisher body, hot off the track at the 2011 IFMAR World Championships. With the recent release of the Team Associated +8mm chassis upgrade racers now have a factory produced chassis to mount the body too, having previously needed to lengthen the B4.1 chassis themselves. As a reminder JConcepts produces 2 bodies, the Finnisher and Punisher, as a drop-on fit for this World Championship upgrade for the B4.1.

JConcepts Illuzion Hi-Flow SCT body

JConcepts have released the Illuzion Hi-Flow SCT body. Sporting a fashionable racing look, the body panel attack angles and even greater air escape packages give the Hi-Flow class leading performance. The air escape package consists of user friendly trim-out areas which have been strategically placed to ensure a clean race-able look that minimizes the trouble-some parachute effect. The large Hi-Flow areas are depressed into the body which allows the user to simply score the bottom pocket and pop-out for instant results. The hood-scoop, used predominantly as an under / over air release feature, blends beautifully into the sculpted extra-clearance fenders while releasing the front end of inner pressure. The top, rear, fender corners have been wedged reducing dead space, allowing more pass-through area minimizing unwanted air collection. The roof of the body has been dramatically ‘rock-a-bye’ shaped to promote a continuous roll in the event of roof crashes while performance enhanced number and name plates provide straight-line stability.

LMR Electra 1/10th off road wing

LMR Electra 1/10th off road wing

It has always been LMR’s intention to produce a 1/10th off road Lexan wing called the Electra. Taking experience from years of racing to introduce a new performance enhancing design while increasing its strength and durability. The wing itself has been formed from 1.5mm Lexan, which makes this little beauty as strong as it is beautiful. The Electra’s innovative side plates are designed to increase the amount of sideways grip often needed, protruding 15mm further forward than conventional wings.

Video – JConcepts Hi-Flow Short Course body

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fQuCB4l9E[/youtube]

JConcepts introduce the new Hi-Flow Short Course body shell for most of today’s 1/10 scale SC trucks. The design goal of the body, that is introduced in time for this week’s 2011 ROAR electric off-road nationals, was to eliminate the so called parachute effect often associated with SC trucks. With big air escape areas that are easily cut out using an x-acto knife and newly designed number and name panel on the sides the body provides the best possible jumping characteristics and straight-line ability.

JConcepts Finnisher body for +8mm B4.1 & Hi-Clearance wing

JConceptsFinnisherBody

Seen for the first time at the recent IFMAR electric off-road World Championships in Finland JConcepts now release the Finnisher body shell for Team Associated B4.1 buggies with +8mm long-wheelbase conversions as well as the Hi-Clearance 6.5″ rear wing. An increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. Included are two of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.
