1:10 Closed Cell 2WD Front Inserts

Pro-Line 1:10 Closed Cell 2WD Front Inserts - 6185-03
This is a pair of 1:10 2WD Front Buggy Closed Cell Inserts. Choosing the right insert for the right condition can be the difference between winning, losing, or just plain having bragging rights over a competitor on the track. Pro-Line now offers an aftermarket insert for 1:10th scale 2WD buggy enthusiasts to use on those tracks that desire a slightly firmer and longer lasting insert set-up. A common problem with 2WD buggies is that the die-cut foam inside the front tires usually wears out long before the tires. Now, with Pro-Line’s new closed cell foam, this durability problem has been eliminated! Pro-Line’s 2WD front closed cell foam is unlike the rock-hard foam that others try to sell because it has just the right amount of firmness that racers desire.
Want to save money on your favorite hobby? Then choose the Closed Cell inserts because they are water safe and reusable! Pick up a set today!

Friday practice is done and it’s time to get serious! Race day has begun and everyone has high hopes. The usual suspects are looking good; Brian Kinwald and Dustin Evans have to be the favorites.
I decided to switch over to BK’s setup and my truck is feeling really good. The track layout looks really simple, but the jump placement along with off-camber has me a little uncomfortable. Looking to just get a clean first round so I can start up front for the 2nd round.
With 230 entries and 26 heats; we are looking at a long day of qualifying. I will have more updates once we get a few rounds under our belts. Sounds like a good weekend of racing!

Jconcepts New Release - B44.1 Finisher Body


Illuzion – B44.1 – Finnisher worlds body w/ 6.5″ Hi-Clearance wing
Part # – 0213
UPC Code – 845937006202
Retail price – $23.00
(Fits – Team Associated B44.1)
JConcepts hit the ground in Vaasa, Finland with an all new body design specifically for the IFMAR World Championships. Cleverly named, Finnisher, the unique design quickly rose to the top of the field during competition taking the TQ in the 4wd modified class and proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the Punisher line of bodies, the Finnisher provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. The B44.1 Finnisher body is a drop fit for a popular and World Championship winning Associated B44.1 buggy. 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 helps 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 chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver 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 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings used by Ryan Maifield to take the TQ in the 4wd class and secure a 2nd place in the 2wd class at the IFMAR World Championships.
Features:
· Original – JConcepts Finnisher design
· Blended wing / body design
· Includes 2 – 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance wings
· Clear polycarbonate with protective film
· Window masks and decal sheet
All bodies are sold clear and are shown painted for advertising purposes only. Tires, wheels and bodies are sold separately, unless otherwise specified. JConcepts reserves the right to update or make changes to product, packaging or contents.
Looks like an awesome body be sure to pick up on of these at your local hobby shop!
