JConcepts A2R "A-One Racer 2" 1/10 Touring Car Body (Clear) (190mm)
About this part
The JConcepts A2R "A-One Racer 2" 1/10 Touring Car Body is a ROAR approved body and features fundamental differences necessary for performance starting straight-away in the front-end area. The shrunken front-end is considerably laid-back, shortening the nose allowing the force to be placed over the front tires.
A-pillar rails are extended over the hood to strengthening the front wheel well and to providing air deflection right over the nose. The front windshield is tucked back inside the rails and connected to the aggressive roofline giving this body a very distinctive shape. Behind the front wheel well and in front of the rear wheel well is a definitive edge that strengthens the openings and also provides better race posture. A hard edge runs the bottom of the rocker-panel providing more grit to the design while also providing extra front to rear rigidity.
The rear section of this body has plenty of deck overhang. This rear overhang is a very important part of the body which controls down-force and provides the placement for the rear wing. A small built-in spoiler is located at the tail end of the body to help stabilize the car at high-speed. To complete the look the bubbled roof profile and minimally structured greenhouse area allows the body to blast through high-speed sections.
Included in each body set, a JConcepts A-One decal sheet and paint mask for all windows. The rear wing option is light-weight and high-downforce with separate side-dams for the ultimate stability. To attach the rear wing, 3mm mounting hardware and plastic nuts are included to complete the light-weight assembly. As always, each body set is backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage.
Race, testing and event history
Several versions of the A2R hit the track in the later stages of 2020 with driving by Paul Wynn, Felix Law and Dave Vera. In an all pink paint scheme, Dave Vera took to the track for round 1 of the Florida State Electric Auto Racers Association event and swept the 17.5 and modified touring car classes. The A2R had serious lift-off in the competitive hands of Felix Law and continued the winning ways in Round 2, 3 and 4 of the series dominating a 2021 series.
Specifications
The A2R body is built for all 190mm width touring car vehicles and was designed to meet all the ROAR “global body spec” rules. Standard thickness is most comparable to all sturdy racing bodies on the market. Light-weight is a thinner gauge material, most often used on the world racing scene for the most experienced or weight-conscious racers. The rear wing is 182mm wide and includes side-dams attachable with double sided tape (not included).

Thick, high quality lexan. Reinforced A-pillar and front fenders. Durable. Mine is just about done and I am very satisfied with how long it lasted. many hard crashes, and still looks good. Sleek lines. Looks better in person than in the stock photo.
Perfect thickness in my opinion. Extremely Rigid and fits the 26 X4 perfectly.
Ordered 3 of these body's, the last one ordered was terrible. It appeared that the mold for the lexan body was very dirty. I was hoping the imperfections would be hidden after painting, and for the most part it did hide. But the windows turned out terrible. Afew areas actually looked like there was lint as well as dust sitting on the top surfaces of the mold as the hood roof, trunk, and window areas had really poor clarity. I like the body but will wait a while before ordering more since the other first two seemed fine.
Reviewers describe the JConcepts A2R A-One Racer 2 clear 190mm touring car body as thick, durable lexan with reinforced A-pillar and front fenders. Two owners rate it 5/5, reporting good durability after hard crashes, a sleek look, and a rigid fit on the 26 X4 chassis. A third verified owner rates it 2/5 after receiving a body with poor clarity on the hood, roof, trunk and windows, which they attribute to dust and lint on the mold surface. That reviewer says the body is otherwise liked and that the earlier bodies they bought were fine. The reviews therefore disagree mainly on the quality of individual units, with clarity issues being the only recurring problem.
