JConcepts B74 F2 buggy body shell

JConcepts have announced the release of their new F2 body shell for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. Designed with aspects learned from the original Finnisher bodies, the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance with the F2 body being a drop fit for the popular Team Associated B74. An increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and the forward cab placement changes the performance/visible bias which help 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 rear of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear. The body is designed exclusively for the new B74 platform and includes all the necessary cut-lines and each package includes two S-Type rear wings.
