Dislike:thumbdown:

Hmmm, dislike from me too.... needs to be a bit more boxier and a bit more extreme. Just looks a bit wishy washy to me - hopefully they'll work on it further to make it more extreme and aggressive looking!

I really wish somebody would make a new good looking shelll for the C4.1 tho... I'm not a fan of the standard shell... and think its a bit of 'short cut' that Centro just nicked the old S2 bodyshell and didn't design their own to go with the new car!

Just my opinion :p

Cab forward should be for handling reasons, so requires a steep windscreen to work. This shell is too shallow a slope and not forward enough! Sorry guys. What you've done is smooth and slipstream but personally I wouldn't choose it over the factory C4.1 shell.

Keep an eye out this weekend at Off Road Wars... ;)

there will be a new factory produced shell coming shortly along with the moulded gear box and a few revisions :-)

Not everyone will like it I admit, but I love it and it's a bit different to the std shell, these are not mass produced items so car will be a bit unique to other centro's

new pics
 

new pics thanks jay

I really like it - think it looks ace :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: from me

:thumbsup: and me too.

That's cool, makes me wanna go out and buy a C4.1

Who cares about handling differences, I don't know many people who go out and buy a shell because it handles better :lol: people care more about looks, and this one looks great!

It didn't arrive in time for Off Road Wars (:cry:), but here's a sneak peak at the JConcepts C4.1 Finnisher and Hi-Clearance wing prototype... :thumbsup:

Note there's tons of room around the radio gear (the speedo fan was touching the standard shell where the windscreen joined the bonnet) and there's enough room under the cab to fit the AE FT battery thumbscrews on all four posts :)

carl are you trying to say you turn up at a race meeting and as long as your car looks great going round it doesnt matter were you finish:lol:

Very nice that, liking the front wheel nuts too. Are you running the inline axles?

No in-line's for me these days, AE hex conversion on the front with JC blue aluminium hex's, JC Mono 12mm hex wheels and JC 8/32" locking wheel nuts all round :thumbsup:

Well what I mean is, when buying a shell most people would usually choose one that is better looking, not usually taking into account the handling differences between the shells. If that sounds right lol

hmm i know what you mean, but anything that can fitted and is a known performance benifit ill fit no matter what it is or looks like,funcation over form all day long mate,

I really like that JC shell! Now im more intrigued over Carls Bigred Lidz, come on Carl, show us some pics of a done shell (feel free to paint it in my colours ;) ) :thumbsup:

... and the p.p.p.penguin shell, the shape is too bland for my liking still. Although those colours on the newer photos make it look a bit more stylish.

Luving this... and I usually hate front cabby shells! A definite future purchase for my C4.1 when I finally get round to ordering it, lol!

Any ideas on release dates for this JConcepts sheall??? :thumbsup:

How do you mount your rear shocks in front of the tower? Where are they mounted on the arm?

We are hoping that the body will be released in around 2 weeks or so time if all goes well.... :thumbsup:

Like the shell Richard, but same question as flipside, how have you managed to mount your rear shocks like that? Have you got some new parts under that new shell? :) p.s is that abit of brass on the back?

No new parts just messing about with shock angles, it'll be going back to normal next time it's on the track :)
The rear toe blocks are actually the prototype silver ones polished up as I've not got any stealthy black productions ones yet, I think it's the lighting thats making them look a different colour.

Richard, can I ask you why you left the Holy land of rear motored madness (the Jerusalem of RC) and folded to go with the Dark Science that is the Forest of Mid-motorisation? :D

The Centro works really well for me on UK tracks!

Although on dirt I'm all about rear motor ;)

Now you're just being wishy-washy :D

Only because you guys all put 3kg of lead in the front of your cars :)

74g under the servo and the 3 brass front posts for me, nothing else :p


Do I get any points back for running a 6.5 in 2wd?!

DITTO!! Richard.... Are you hiding secrets from the masses???:confused:

Since I'm more a Dan Greenwoord-type of driver, I'll give you 20 points for a 9.5. Deal?

9.5?! I don't own anything that gay!

Elvo and I are running 10.5!

Yep, we take it in the pooper :thumbsup:

I do have an 8.5, but don't tell anyone :cry:

I'll be quiet as a dodo that has just been appointed professor of Silence at Oxford University and has to escape the Dutch in a forest full of breaky twigs.

(20 points for the person who knows where I partly got this joke from)
