The Silencer body has a rich history in 1/8th off-road racing and impeccable track record for success. First developed for the 2012 IFMAR World Championships, the Silencer has been a mainstay in the JConcepts product line which is available for a number of difference vehicles in the market. The JQ Racing buggy has enjoyed a successful run world-wide and JConcepts has now created the iconic Silencer as a drop-fit for the vehicle.

What started out as a simple task was anything but. For the precise fit, the design has undergone major changes to match the JQ chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The Silencer stance cockpit allows ample room for the air cleaner and fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the engine compartment with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tires. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration.

The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical / linkage make up the main pods. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal. The Silencer is capped off with a cock-pit "shark fin" for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness.

Features:

JConcepts Silencer styling
Forward cab bias, dual channeling rear escape
Clipped side-pods with extended runners
Cock-pit “shark fin” for added stability
Clear polycarbonate with protective film
Includes window mask and decal sheet

JConcepts has added a front Aero item for the popular and successful JQ Racing off-road buggy platforms. The front scoop attaches to the front tower on the buggy and has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The front scoop includes 2 pieces per package so a driver has enough to outfit their nitro and e-buggy with the same package.

Reports from the pit area revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in tricky jump sections of the track. Be prepared, have the options and get dialed in with JConcepts.
