JConcepts Tekno EB48 "Finnisher" Illuzion Body (Clear)
This is the JConcepts Clear Tekno EB48 "Finnisher" Illuzion Body. With the evolution of race tracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts has incorporated many features for the Finnisher Tekno EB48, which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during in-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners.
JConcepts hit the ground in Vaasa, Finland with an all redesigned body specifically for the IFMAR World Championships. Cleverly named, Finnisher, the unique design quickly rose to the top of the field during competition and proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the Punisher line of bodies, the Finnisher provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. The Finnisher body for the Tekno is a drop fit for the EB48 buggy.
The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. Additional clearance has been added for the steering linkage from servo to bell-cranks to give an extra bit of clearance to the body. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which places dual louvers toward the rear that can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. The rear portion of the side-pod area has been lowered to create another louver which can be trimmed as another avenue to allow heat to escape. The motor-side of the pods have a direct inlet which can be trimmed and used as another air-flow feature of the body.
NOTE: Painted body shown in photos is for illustrative purposes only. The body you will receive is clear and unpainted.

Fantastic looking body. Requires a little extra trimming for the Ackerman on a .4 but has great lines, clears an smc 4s with no rub and looks great.

To fit the EB48.4, you have to cut quite a bit for the steering arms to fit properly. Otherwise, good product.

JConcepts Tekno EB48 "Finnisher" Illuzion Body (Clear)
I ordered this body for my EB48.4 and it looks great, and just like all my other Jcon bodies, I really like the thicker lexan that they use as ill take a lot more durability in a body over one that is super thin and light, but they can last as little as one crash, and the minimal weight difference doesnt make any difference in times for all but the very best drivers in the world. You do need to trim a good amount out up front for the revised steering system, but just do it before you paint and you'll be good to go. After a few packs at the track I do see a small amount of paint that has rubbed off where the steering servo arm is. It appears that the nut that connects the linkage to the servo arm touches the body a little bit from vibration when it's running or when its sitting upside down after or during a crash. It installs much easier and quicker than the stock body too. I just put velcro strips down both sides if the plastic sides of the chassis and along the bottom sides of the body so I dont need to use the body clips. Super handy and it keeps about 90% of the dirt out that would normally get inside the chassis. I'll be ordering a couple more of these too for when they wear out..
