My painter hates the precut bodies I've sent him!
I'll be getting my first J-C bodies back from my painter soon - 250 and Finisher for B4.1 and am excited to try these out. I like the design of the Ford and Chevy SC Bodies. I'd like to see a Toyota or Nissan.
My dream would be a Toyota FJ Cruiser body for Short Course!!!

Interesting, how come? My painter likes them. Are you using Liquid mask or are you using tape? My painter uses liquid mask. If you're taping, that would make a lot of sense that the pre-cut bodies make it a little more difficult.
Paul, that makes a lot of sense actually. I agree maybe the more "Performance" based bodies like 1-3 models could have pre-cut options. But I'm sure tooling for pre-cutting bodies can't be cheap and is probably pretty complex. But I also remember back when you had to tape bags to the outside of the body so you wouldn't get overspray back in the day
I've got a Toyota FJ Cruiser as my daily driver, I'd LOVE an FJ Cruiser Shortcourse body!!!!
Here is the problem; Losi only makes one body and one truck, so it's very easy for them to tool up for pre-cut bodies for their particular vehicles. For us (JConcepts); how do we choose which body and which truck? We have 4 or 5 popular model bodies (over a dozen total) and each one has to fit 9+ different manufactures trucks. It's just not realistic for us to do it, but maybe a single style that is partially cut is an option.
I remember once upon a time this was....ahhh nevermind

I dont mind when people send me precut bodies to paint. Its less Liquid mask for me to use. But like Paul was about to say. This use to be more like a hobby. Now everything is done for you. Where is the pride in that? BK touched on this on the last RIP podcast and he is so right.

Will there be Finnisher turnbuckles for other buggies like RB6, 22, etc?

hey guys<
got a quick question, I have a 22SCT, and I just picked an illuzion Hi-Flow body for it. when I look at, it looks like it has been marked for the 22sct, but I am unsure if they are or aren't. I have looked at the little key, and for the rear, it has 2 holes pictured, but my body has 2 extra holes just outside them.
long question short, has the body been updated with dots that are for the 22SCT?

I'm looking for some suggestions for SCT 2wd tires for outdoor track. Surface is well maintained and smooth but doesn't have much clay. Other racers suggest Holeshot for buggy but not Double Dees as they wear too fast.

Hey Paul
What tyre would you recommend in Buggy for an Outdoor hardpack fine dirt track that starts off the day with medium traction but then drops too low/medium traction as it gets further into the day?
I have tried Double Dees in green and they were good but no side bite.
I was thinking 3D's? Or would Goosebumps be better?
