JConcepts Silencer Body for HB D812

By Matt On June 19, 2013 · Add Comment

JConcepts debuted the Silencer body at the IFMAR World Championships held in Argentina. Leading up to the 2012 IFMAR event, the JConcepts design team was extremely busy developing new products for the bi-annual event. The team spent many hours working on a new high-speed body style specifically for Buenos Aires. A brand-new, ground up design, the Silencer has new elements created for the highest speed circuits. A narrowed, Finnisher stance cockpit allows more fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the heat-sink area with dual channelling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical/linkage make up the main pods. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal. The Silencer is capped off with a cock-pit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness.
