JConcepts hit the track at the Reedy Race of Champions with an all new body design specifically for the latest generation of 1/10th off-road racing. Cleverly named, F2, the unique design quickly raised some eyebrows during competition and proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the original Finnisher bodies, the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. 

The F2 body is a drop fit for the popular Team Associated B6 | B6D buggy. Cut-lines are included on each side of the body to accommodate stand-up 3 or 4 gear and lay-down transmission layouts giving all out versatility. With the evolution of race tracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. 

The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The front of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. 

In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest Aero rear wings used by Ryan Cavalieri, Ryan Maifield and Spencer Rivkin to a 1st, 2nd and 4th place finish at the 2017 Reedy Race of Champions. 

Features:

• Original - JConcepts F2 design 
• Blended wing / body design 
• Includes two Aero rear wings
• Compatible with stand-up 3 and 4 gear and lay-down transmission
• Clear polycarbonate with protective film 
• Window masks and decal sheet

The #2613 designed for the JConcepts F2 body assists in maintaining the rear body height while utilizing the forward mounted shock configuration on the Team Associated B6 vehicle. The rear body mount flange gives a small shelf for the body to rest on after the user has cut the body shorter while running the shock tower on the front-side of the transmission. A unique aftermarket piece which helps the body maintain proper running height after mishaps and crashes.

The instruction calls for four 3x12mm BHCS to secure the rear tower to the transmission mount. To add the flange piece, it is recommended to use two 3x14mm FHCS to account for the additional part and secure into the mount designed for a flat head type screw.

About this Product:

The F2 body mount flange, designed by JConcepts is now available exclusively through Shapeways. The 3D printed part installs on the rear shock tower once it is positioned in the front position. The flange gives the JConcepts F2 body a resting place and acts as a shelf to help hold the body in position during racing.

Extra beefy, security and precision are the best ways to describe the new rear ball-stud mount for the Team Associated B6 | B6D vehicles. The rear ball-stud mount is under a tremendous amount of stress in today's racing atmosphere and it is now heavy-duty thanks to JConcepts. After many months of testing and race tuning there are a couple advancements given to the new mount. 

The durability in this mounting area has been put to the test with difficult race circuits and especially with the introduction of the 6 generation of Team Associated buggies. JConcepts has added thickness around the screw mounting holes, thickened the main connection "U-brace" and for twisting and bending resistance and added a thick rib from the main body to the screw location boss. When it comes to ball-stud mount with adjustability and durability, look no further than the JConcepts. 

Features:

• CNC-machined, aluminum 
• Standard 3 holes for performance tuning options
• Heavy-duty, peace of mind performance
• Blue or black anodized with chamfered silver edging
