Press Release From JConcepts:

As vehicles quickly adopt quick change and clipless mounting systems, JConcepts has arrived at an option specific to one of the most popular vehicles of all-time, the Traxxas Slash. The designers from Groveland, Florida pinpointed the mounting positions and established a constructive way to blend the kit components to the new F2 body for the drop-down fit and finish on the short course vehicle. The modular design of the body mount assembly attaches to the F2 body with ease using the upper and lower components and stock hardware.

The pre-cut F2 body, available for the best entry level classes in the RC market, your SCT truck can now run the latest body for Short Course racing and bashing by JConcepts. The design concept was simple, lower the roof line, improve functionality of air-release louvers, incorporate the latest number and name plate performance geometry, while providing an edginess to the design. The F2 has always been a unique design, now, the Short Course gets the IFMAR World Championship winning treatment.

The design starts at the front-end with high impact looks of a large format canvas in the grille and headlight area. The included decal sheet can be used to stealth out the entire front-end with blank decals or go for two of the different and highly detailed looks of the light and signal appearance found on passenger vehicles. In the hood area, there is a large cut-in feature with trim-lines allowing the user to add additional air escape holes. The fenders are hard-edged, provide plenty of clearance for racing and bash tires and blend straight into the F2 design.

F2 styling has many details within the cab of the body shell and its integral features. JConcepts incorporated the low-profile and V-style cab into the design and sunk additional louvers into the roof. To increase rigidity, the team added a slight stabilization fin in the center and a railed edge on each side of the cab to help race further into the future. As the cab falls away and into the bed area, a hard chamfer leads into a series of stepped sections allowing more air escape areas. Between the body mounting area, 4 more deep rooted louvers are placed, these can be tuned to the requirements of the driver.

A rollbar outlines the rear bed area; a new number plate mounting area is established in a key performance area. The rear fenders are bulged to clear racing tires, and they calmly flow into another F2 trait, the double step side-pod enhancement. At the rear of the quarter-panel, a JConcepts detail includes trim-lines for air-release passages which have always shown to be clear benefits. Window placement, volume, and layout can make a design. The F2 has recessed side windows and alternate panel locations which can be painted as body color, detailed as flat stealth black on the outside, or user masked as all one-piece.

Decals are included to help detail the final look while window mask is also packaged with the body to aid in the painting process. Overspray film is standard on the item, and the entire package is backed with JConcepts customer support and heritage.
