JConcepts (Wheels, Tires, Bodies, Etc)
I wanted to start a thread over here for questions/comments about JConcepts and our products. I will be around to answer questions and give information.

RE: JConcepts (Wheels, Tires, Bodies, Etc)
I have a question actually. Has there been any consideration on using the upcoming sc10 longer chassis with the J82 buggies, would this work?

Andy, do you have any firm figures on the exact weight difference between a t4 and j82 setup?

The rustler body looks cooler and fits the stampede fine.
I was wondering about the body for the slash. I am considering getting it over the desert rat. Is it made with the same thickness as the rustler JConcepts body?

Thanks guys, I guess I will get that instead. I loved my old rustler body and it lasted a long time so I will stick with JConcepts. Thanks.

I know the J82 is lighter due to the lessened width of the front wheels/tires and less material in the body

Yeah this is the problem Andy...my local track doesn't want to let me run it in mod truck class due to the "weight advantage" haha. Or wants to put it to a constant racer vote each race which I refuse to deal with...I even offered to handicap the thing with extra stick on weights or soemthing. Stinks because I think this is a cool concept and would love to run it, and I absolutely hate the looks of the stock t4 body haha. Oh well I'm going to check with some other tracks and see what they say too. Would be good if I knew a exact weight difference so I would know how much to adjust.

RE: JConcepts (Wheels, Tires, Bodies, Etc)
I recently ordered a set of Rulux wheels for T4/GT2. I have a T4, and I don't see how the heck these wheels will work. I'm pretty new to the hobby and I feel like I just waisted my money on these things. Is there an adapter or something to make these work on a T4? I like the way these wheels look and I need 2 sets so it was cool that you sell them in 4 packs. The price was pretty reasonable too. I just hope I can make em work.
