Got my first JConcepts product today, a body for my RB5, and am very impressed. It was $5 cheaper than the Kyosho body and came with two wings:)

Now it's time to try out the tires. A few locals are using them and they seem to hook up very well.

I looked on the site and didn't see one, but does anyone know where I can find a replacement 1/10 truck wing for a XXX-T? I would really hate to have to buy a new body just to scavenge the wing.

This isnt "the" wing for the XXXT body, but we do offer a 1/10th truck spoiler.

Yes! Thank you sir.:)

Holy Scott Spear :) Sweet work

I've also attached a photo of the new Hi-Flow T4 body wedjim painted for me. :D

Finally a pic of the D4 body (0074):

Yeah, nice wheels....:sneaky:

Nice D4 body........Way to tease us (look but don't touch) with those BarCodes!! :sneaky:

The rear Bar Codes are already available; but not the fronts:blush:

actually those fronts look like losi taper pins

Is it just me, or does the "Scoopless" body for the B44/BJ4WE "puff" outwards more towards the front?

I'm actually looking for a body for my BJ4WE that "puff" outwards more towards the front cause I'm planning to stick a motor cooling fan. Currently, the default BJ4WE narrows up too much (although the default BJ4WE body is a beauty :D)

Is the Scoopless body more friendly for a motor fan placed above the endbell? For say, a 30x30mm fan?

Actually there not:sneaky:

We did add extra clearance to the existing front scoopes, but not enough room to add a fan on top of the motor. Some people run the fans on the chassis blowing onto the motor. Most top racers just cut the front of the body out more and don't run a fan.

Thanks, that's what I was planning to do, prop up a fan so that it's blowing into the endbell... I think if that proves to be troublesome (such as the fan not holding up), I'm going to try the other method, carving out a hole in the body. Do you pro guys glue a small screen material to block out the large chunk of dirt? I'm thinking an old nylon stockings?

Are those the Bar Code front tires? Because those fronts look nothing like the Bar Code rears. I was hoping that J Concepts was gonna make Bar Code fronts that have the same tread pattern as the rear. What they need to do is make rears that have the same tread pattern as those fronts to use on "taper pin tracks" I thought the only reason everyone runs the BK Bar rear Taper Pin front combo was because losi didn't make BK Bar fronts. I thought J Concepts was an "outside the box" company? Now, if they did testing and found that front tires with a "Bar Code" pattern just didn't work and the "tapered pin" design did, then I retract my previous statment.

BK Bar fronts.. don't work. I've tried them...

Timmmmmm AYYY!

lol


Thanks Andrew!


I am painting up a crawler body to see what can be done with one, so i'll psot that as soon as it's complete! (By the weekend maybe?)

How to post a question on RCTech.

1. Ask a question.
"Are those the Bar Code front tires?"

2. Answer your own question.
"Because those fronts look nothing like the Bar Code rears."

3. Offer an "expert" opinion on "what they NEED to do"
"What they need to do is make rears that have the same tread pattern as those fronts to use on "taper pin tracks"

4. Question your own expertise.
"I thought the only reason everyone runs the BK Bar rear Taper Pin front combo was because losi didn't make BK Bar fronts."


5. Question the expertise of a multiple IFMAR and ROAR Championship winning manufacturer.
" I thought J Concepts was an "outside the box" company?"

6. Question your own expertise again, and nearly admit that you have no idea what you are talking about, have no experience or knowledge in the arena of tire carcass/tread design or development, and have no racing or testing experience to substantiate any claims previously set forth in your poorly phrased and semi-grammatically incorrect post.

"Now, if they did testing and found that front tires with a "Bar Code" pattern just didn't work and the "tapered pin" design did, then I retract my previous statement.


Awesome post man.

FYI to all.

I found this useful link off google:

http://www.rctech.net/articles/paint...ntedmyst.shtml

Not sure why I couldn't find this link off of rctech.net. Perhaps it's some page that the admin have abandoned? Nevertheless, it's a useful page full of info and tips on how to paint RC Bodies.

I remember seeing an article like this in RC Car Action about 15 years ago. Man, I wish I kept that issue. The author went in detail of how to do some really nice effects with just rudimentary tools and supplies.

Thank god for internal decals and masks from XXX main for body-painting-challenged people like me! :smile:

:spidey::p:cry::nod::ha::blush:

:batman:


back at ya old man! hahahahaha

Here's a stupid question. I'm going to order these two parts:

http://www.jconcepts.net/store/image...drear_1037.jpg
1037 - BJ4 Rear MIP CVD, Complete Set

and

http://www.jconcepts.net/store/image...ve_Lg_1108.jpg
1108 - Front Suspension Sleeve (Short)

These two comes in pairs right? For the right and left side of the BJ4WE?

Also, I see the REAR CVD Bone (just the bone) is available, but are the FRONT CVD bones available?

Both 1037 and 1108 come in pairs, yes. Front bones are only available in pairs (shiny) #1157 I believe.

Can the B44's front CVAs be used in conjunction with BJ4WE's castor blocks and steering knuckles (The Losi Part)?

The only difference I can see is that the cup and ball configuration is reversed, where the ball end is on the bone-side and the cup is on the axle-side...

Will I have to use the B44's castor blocks and steering knuckles for this to work?

Im not really sure about that, perhaps AE could help? I know that the B44 Castor and steering blocks do work on the BJ though.

Andy what is a losi pink or panther clay compatiable tire compound? In the jconcepts 1/10th scale line of tires?


Thanks,

Kobe

We dont really have a comparable compound to Pink. There are reports of our Blue working on indoor type tracks, but I cant say for sure.

1/10 Buggy Goosebumps Drive another Win
 

JConcepts products are continueing their Winning Tradition. Round 4 of the Arkansas Championship Off-Road Racing Electric League (www.arcorr.net) resumed competition Sunday August 3rd, 2008. The event was held at our largest raceway, Wolfpack Racetrack (www.wolfpackracetrack.com) in Hot Springs Arkansas. The temperature outside was the hottest (100+) and highest humidity we have faced this season. Our dedicated racers were real troopers as we race during the hottest part of the day.

JConcepts 1/10 Goosebumps Tires and Inserts, again proved up to the task by providing the Grip and Durability in the increasingly highly competitive Expert 4wd Buggy Class. Driver Kirk Crisalli used the same set of tires from the previous event to Win the Expert 4wd Buggy. The 1/10 Buggy Goosebump Front and Rears proved effective in all track conditions from dry to damp clay throughout the day. In the end JConcepts Tires not only finished 1st and 3rd, they also were used to set Fast Lap as well as traction for Kirks wire to wire A-Main time, which beat the TQ Pace set in Qualification by 6 seconds.

Kirk now finds himself atop the Championship Chase with only two events remaining. He is looking forward to a chance to bring home the Crown and believes he has the tires to get the job done.

Congratulations JConcepts

Hay Andy how long until we see a body for the O'Donnell Z01-B

I used the stock foam that came with the double dees an would like some more side bite. If I use a firmer foam like bomb one will that give me more side bite? Thanks.

Do you have any photos of the track your running on? What type of surface is it?
