JConcepts XB2’24 F2 | P2 Bodies

JConcepts has released its F2 and P2 bodies for the Xray XB2’24 1:10 2WD Buggy. It is difficult to find a more successful body shell designed by the Florida company than the F2 (blue colour scheme). With the release of the Xray XB2 2024, JConcepts set off to incorporate all the functionality of the IFMAR World Championship winning shell and wrapped it around the newest dynamo from Team XRAY. The exclusive composition of the cab, extra rear windows, louvered roof all tied together with Finnisher “V” configuration makes the F2 a classic performer with it now available to wrap around the newest offering from Xray. The P2 (red colour scheme) design arrived just in time for the IFMAR Worlds in 2017 where the team tested and confirmed performance characteristics on the Xiamen, China track surface and has since developed a reputation as the go-to design for dirt surfaces ranging from low to high-traction. Both bodies include two of the 6.5” Carpet | Turf | Dirt wing which are now a standard racing item around the world.

Avid B7 Front Roll Center Shim | Tower Alignment Shim

Adding to its range of aftermarket parts for the Team Associated RC10B7 2WD Buggy, Avid has released a Front Roll Center Shim and a +2.5° Front Shock Tower Alignment Shim. The Front Roll Center Shims are made out of 100% carbon and are offered as a set with four thicknesses of 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. Lowering the front hinge pins allows the front end to roll more, this is extremely helpful for absorbing the extra energy caused by high bite tracks like carpet/astro turf/prepped clay. It can sometimes be counter-intuitive thinking why this helps, but a good way to picture the benefits, imagine your car has turnbuckles as front shock. When giving your car any steering input the car will immediately respond causing the rear to become unstable. This increase in roll helps slow all that reaction down in the front and then in the mid-corner it picks up steering.

JConcepts Double Dees V2 Stadium Truck Tyres

JConcepts has released its Double Dees V2 tyre for 1:10 Stadium Truck racing in in green compound. Originals are often hard to beat, in the case of the Double Dees V2, every attempt at improving was considered. The carcass was revised for a broader and lower carcass for a stout feel in straight-line tracking ability. The sidewall provides a little cushion for bumps and terrain irregularities and the “hips” have moved a little lower for more stability. The inner carcass webbing has also been designed to incorporate a more traditional overlapping X pattern concept to provide the all-around support needed at high-speed. The V2 rear tyre is perfect for a variety of track surfaces and when conditions are unknown, the Double Dees are always a safe choice.
