JConcepts 22T 4.0 Finnisher body shell

JConcepts have introduced the Finnisher body shell for the TLR 22T 4.0 2WD stadium truck. The lid features a slight cab forward design, a raked windshield, and an aggressive stance. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique 22-T geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The latest stadium trucks have the ability to utilise shocks placed on the front or rear of the rear suspension, the JConcepts body accommodates both configurations for the utmost versatility. The new body includes the high performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body that comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet.

Berkan Kilic wins at North German regionals Rd2

The Braunschweig track near Hanover played host to the second round of the North German 1/8th Off-road regionals this past weekend. The track was pretty challenging with its natural clay surface and a lot of small holes and most of the drivers already showed up on Saturday to make maximum use of the practice time. After the 20-minute semi finals on Sunday it was Berkan Kilic (Agama) with the TQ from Burak Kilic (Agama) on the 2 spot and Phillip Guschel (Xray) starting from P3. In the opening stages of the 40-minute A-main final Burak was able to get past Berkan and he even slightly separated from the field until he ran into mechanical issues that promoted Berkan into the lead again that he would hold onto until the checkered flag. Marcel Paul (Kyosho) would obtain the 2nd spot from Phillip Guschl 3rd. However as the latter was only a guest starter it was Ilias Reise (Agama) who would round out the podium result.

Thanks to Abdullah Kilic for the report.
