Jconcepts P2 Mugen MBX8 Body

DELIVERED UNPAINTED

The JConcepts team, while at the IFMAR World Championships, tested a new body shell for the 1:8th buggy class. In the steady hands of Adam Drake, he performed some driving with his Mugen buggy featuring the P2 body shell. Originally designed for 1:10th vehicles, the team from Groveland, Florida built a prototype using styling cues from the World Championship-winning body used by Spencer Rivkin in 2019. Reaching back to 2010, JC has experimented with a tall stabilizing fin on the rear of the body.

For a fresh season of competition, JConcepts has incorporated a small mini fin placed behind the rear of the cab that does not interfere with the engine head. In the rear, the ramping feature that is so popular on the P2 creeps up behind the cab and engine head to create extra force and stability. The front of the body, with the powerful and wide cab of the Punisher series, pushes the P2 through the corners with speed. The top of the cab is reinforced, and the fin stabilizer glides through the turns, providing a driving sensation similar to the S15. The sidepod has built-in clearance with heavy chamfering at two angles and multi-angle S15 winglets.

The windshield has a large format, completely recessed, and includes railing up the front and over the cab. In front, a deflection shield stands strong, supporting the front of the body and allowing multiple angles for aerodynamic catch. The huge windows are a throwback to 1990s racing, where the big window drivers ruled the roost while looking the lowest on the track and the most dominant in the pits. The entire section behind the cab is constructed around the engine heatsink, and the open area with ramping feature built into the design helps alleviate hot air build-up.

The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard and lightweight formed thickness. The JConcepts team builds, tests, and travels the world to support the brand and gathers valuable driver feedback in search of the best appearing and performance items on the market. The product is designed and formed in the U.S.A. and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style.
