Debuting at the 2023 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Arizona, JConcepts S15 body has been released for both 1:10 Offroad offerings from British manufacturer Schumacher, the 2WD Cougar LD3 and the 4WD Cat L1R. Available in both standard and a lightweight option, the body ships with window mask, decal sheet and two of the latest Carpet | Turf | Dirt wings for a quick transition from preparation to racing. The S15 follows the chassis shape like a glove and the tidy arrangement is free of unwanted gaps. The centre line roof fin helps the body stand up to rigorous demands of crashes and off-track excursions and while on the track, provides straight line tracking ability. The top of the side pod rolls into the rear end section helping with the force placed just in front of the rear tires. Just behind the cab, there is a trim-able section dedicated to rear escape of hot air and inner shell build up.
