BAJR – Pronounced Badger

Straight from the Desert, this is a whipping new design from JConcepts.   The BAJR, as it is named, is concept inspired from the ground up to be the ultimate in desert and off-road looks and performance.   The BAJR is a fresh design, starting from the front of the vehicle, the super narrow and tucked front quarter panel treatment creates one of the slickest Illuzionized looks around.   The round Baja-esque profile of the cab area gives that familiar desert a ppearance.  As the design develops toward the rear,
the pronounced roof scoop, and proceeding cut-out and escape area makes this body unmistakably JConcepts.  Pronounced rear fender flare treatment and dovetail rear end finishes off the most concept inspired Short Course body to date.

The BAJR is all about being unique, competition ready and concept inspired.   Get creative with this body; run it as a short course racing vehicle with competition tires or as a desert vehicle with paddle and ribbed tires.  Go ahead, get crazy add a whip antenna; that’s what it’s made for.

Interesting review of the new JConcepts equipment for the SC10 – courtesy of MyRCBox.com.

The best and easiest way to improve your truck handling and look is to swap the stock tires and body for something new. This is exactly what I’ve done with the freshly released JConcepts Goose Bumps tires, Rulux wheels and Illuzion Truth body specially designed for the Team Associated SC10 short course truck.

The rollers:

First, the Rulux wheels are extremely light. The mounting and gluing processes were an easy task. The tires fit perfectly to the black one-piece Rulux wheels (also available in white) . Like with others SC tires on the market, the inner diameter is 3.0” while the outer diameter is 2.2”. The Goose Bumps tires are compatible with the Team Associated SC10, Traxxas Slash and Slayer, HPI Blitz and Losi Strike short course trucks. Read the Full Review HERE

Event: Tri-County Triple Crown Series, Race #3
Date: August 23rd, 2009
Location: Stateline Raceway, IN
Race Reporter: Virus Racing

Uncle E takes the win at Allen Hornes– Tri-County Triple Crown Race #3.  JConcepts Crosshairs and Illusion body were the combination to beat.

Stateline Raceway hosted race #3 of the Tri-County triple Crown.  The track proved to be the areas best as evidenced by drivers perma-grins.   With over cast weather and a light breaze the conditions were perfect for racing, the JConcepts yellow crosshairs were a first time choice by Virus Racing’s Uncle E on his Losi 8T 2.0 and this decision turned out to be spot on.

Uncle E qualified 6th for the main, and after a pre-race conversation with 2nd qualifier, young gun Tyler Livingston (12), the two racers had a “good hearted” understanding that the main would be rough– and Uncle E made it clear he would be in the thick of it.  Joking, Tyler made it clear that he’d be there too!   Sure enough the Grand Standing made for an exciting race.

Ryan Maifield adds another title by winning the R/C X-Fest with JConcepts Crossbows

For R/C racers Labor Day weekend in Minnesota has become R/C X-Fest weekend.   For the 5th annual event 3 of the fastest drivers in the world converged in Cambridge, Minnesota for a weekend of excitement and no-holds barred entertainment.   With an event known for a multitude of classes and special events, the R/C X-Fest has become something to remember for all participants.   There is always something going on it seems during the X-Fest.  Powder-puff, Big Air Contest, Spud Run, Helicopter night fly, R/C Boat Demo and Mini X Off-road track rental are just a snippet of events available.

Ryan Maifield was in Minnesota to do business as his JConcepts equipped RC8b and RC8T were at the top of the field all weekend.  However, it did not come easy in the 1/8^th buggy class.  Ryan encountered a few problems in qualifying which placed him into unchartered territory, the C-main.   Ryan, working together with teammates as the race developed, steadily got faster and ironed out qualifying problems.  Once the C-main was up Ryan was ready and was determined to work his way to the A-main the hard way.  Winning the C and B-main by multiple laps, Ryan was poised and ready for the A-main.  Mounting up a fresh set of JConcepts Crossbows in blue compound proved to be the ticket for the developing conditions for the A-main.

Ryan started near the back of the pack in the A-main but only after 10 minutes he threw down the fastest lap of the main and was fighting for 2^nd place.   The 45 minute A-main proved to be too much for most of the competition but with plenty of practice from the C and B main and a healthy dose of the RC8b and JConcepts, Ryan continued to run down the leader.   With 10 minutes to go, Maifield made up critical time on the leader Ryan Lutz and a problem by the leader put Maifield at the front of the pack. Leading out the last 10 minutes and then into victory lane was almost too sweet as Ryan crossed the finish line for yet another win with JConcepts on the 2009 racing tour.

Ryan Maifield’s winning combination included following JConcepts products:

• Crossbows tires in Super Soft Blue Compound
• Profiled 1/8^th buggy inserts
• Mono 1/8^th buggy racing wheels
• Illuzion – High Down force wing
• Illuzion Hi-Flow body
