As first reported by Inside Line RC, a standard "here's my car!" photo posted to Facebook by Floridian off-road racer JR Mitch ahead of this weekend's Fall Brawl included a sneak peek at an upcoming JConcepts S2 shell for the 8IGHT 4.0 nitro buggy.

The standout features of the 1/8-scale S2, which was introduced for the RC8B3 back in August (click here for more info) are the "finger" ridges on the front of the side pods, which are said to increase mid-corner steering, as well as the elevated ridge at the back edge of the side pods to provide more downforce and stability.

A press release on this new body is expected soon.
