Product is shipping out as fast as we can receive it and that is mostly to distributors, dealers, and race events. Unfortunately we haven't been able to have any standing stock for our website as dist/dealers come first.

The D812 JConcepts Silencer body fits perfectly on the HB Racing D817.

Definitely my favorite JC body, other than the old MP9 Finnisher body.

No; the battery will hit the body. Maybe if you have one of the low profile batteries.

I have a tire question that I figured might be able to be answered in this thread.

Our local outdoor track is very dusty and loamy clay. My sons and I run B6Ds with the 4 gear stand up with Ray Munday's setup. Grip is paramount, and the moment you get a tiny little bit out of the groove, all grip is gone.

I'm wondering which JC tires would be best for this loose, loamy, dusty track. The Proline Hole Shots I ran were OK, but I'm partial to JC tires and I'm sure there are better options for low grip.

I'm not very good at jumps. With a buggy I'm not outright terrible, but with SCT it's problematic, especially since the parachute effect comes into play so easily. I've been going back and forth a long time as to whether or not to buy a JConcepts Illuzion Ford Raptor X-Flow or perhaps the Illuzion Hi-Flow body (not sure if there's a difference performance-wise, any comments on that?) to replace my standard SC10 body.

But I keep reading mixed opinions on whether it really helps considerably or not, or if one should just learn to drive better to avoid the parachuting (to try and keep the nose down, as it were). It's just that I'm on a very limited budget and the bodies aren't all that cheap, and my stock body is still in pretty good condition. But if the new body really would help not to "crash & burn" from jumps so often... well, it'd be worth it.

Hi mate,

I put together a JC tyre chart a few years ago which shows some of the tyre options I use on our tracks. Its hard to say for sure without a picture of the surface, but the general rules I follow are:

- If the track is soft, then Flip Outs are my go to. They dig into the surface better than anything else. Based on your description, these may be the go.
- If it has a hard base but dusty on top, then 3D is an option. These are a combination pin / bar tyre. But they wont dig into a soft surface the way a Flip Out will.
- Double Dees are good if the track has a damp line but loose on top.

Hope this helps

Ray

For a B6D and a T5M, on a track that has a hard pack, dusty top, but gets watered after each round of heats, would you use the 3D on front and rear, or do you ever use combinations of 3D and Doible Dees? The track usually drys up after a round or two.

Thanks
