Press Release From JConcepts:

The JConcepts team, while preparing for the upcoming IFMAR World Championships tested a new body shell for the 1:8th buggy class. In the steady hands of Phi-Long Nguyen, he performed some driving with his Kyosho buggy with the P2 body shell. Originally for the 1:10th vehicles, the team from Groveland, Florida built up a prototype using styling cues from the World Championship winning body used by Spencer Rivkin in 2019. Reaching back to 2010, JC has experimented with a tall stabilizing fin on the rear of the body.
For a fresh season of competition, JConcepts has incorporated a small mini fin placed behind the rear of the cab that does not interfere with the engine head. In the rear, the ramping feature that is so popular on the P2, creeps up behind the cab and engine head to create extra force and stability. The front of the body, the powerful and wide cab of the Punisher series pushes the P2 through the corners with speed. The top of the cab is reinforced, and the fin stabilizer whisks through the turns and has a driving sensation like the S15. The sidepod has built-in clearance with heavy chamfering at 2 angles and multi-angle S15 winglets.
The windshield has a large format, completely recessed, and includes railing up the front and over the cab. In front, a deflection shield stands strong supporting the front of the body and allowing multiple angles for aerodynamic catch. The huge windows are a throwback to 1990’s racing, where the big window drivers ruled the roost while looking the lowest on the track and the most dominant in the pits. The entire section behind the cab is constructed around the engine heatsink, the open area with ramping feature built into the design helps alleviate hot air build-up.
The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard formed thickness. The JConcepts team builds, tests, and travels the world to support the brand and gathers valuable driver feedback in search of the best appearing and performance items on the market. The product is designed and formed in the U.S.A. and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style. Look for reputable dealers and distributors and demand authentic products – choose JConcepts.

The front wing design that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics on high-speed circuits or those demanding more force over the front tires. The front scoop includes 2 pieces per package, so a driver has enough to outfit their nitro and e-buggy with the same package.
The front scoop can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit, and finish. Since unveiling this concept for 1:8th buggy racing, Ryan Maifield, Juan Carlos Canas, Mason Fuller, Spencer Rivkin, Adam Drake, and Seth VanDalen have been on a tear in the competition scene winning events around the world.
