A staple in the JConcepts product line, the Punisher body shell design, started its time in the off-road division during the 2010 racing season. Over the course of a decade, the design team along with the racers have helped push the envelope and re-invent the Punisher along the way. The P2 design arrived just in time for the IFMAR Worlds in 2017 where the team tested and confirmed performance characteristics on the Xiamen, China track surface. Now, the P2 is available for the latest vehicle in the Schumacher lineup, the Cougar LD3.
While track conditions around the world develop, the P2 started to gain steam. In the hands of ace drivers Spencer Rivkin (2019 IFMAR World Champion), Dakotah Phend (3x ROAR 2wd National Champion) the JConcepts body developed a reputation as the go-to design for dirt surfaces ranging from low to high-traction. The versatility of the P2, providing grip when it’s needed, dimensional stability at the right time, and a tuning aid together with front and rear wing options available separately from JConcepts remain a dominating 2wd buggy aero package.
The channeling concept of the P2 body begins in the front with a forward based windshield which is heavily recessed with vertical railing. The continuation of the design flows over the cockpit, digs deep into the rear section where it re-appears to a double winglet placed just in front of the rear tires in the horizontal plane. The identifiable feature which debuted in 2010, the center fin is present on the world championship winning shell design and runs most of the complete length from cab to the rear shocks.
The dual windows of the P2 gives a hint of JConcepts lineage dating back to the original Illuzion body. The side pods are heavily chamfered, made popular with original #gojconcepts designed body shells going back as far as the early 2000’s. In front of the windshield, a deflection shield begins air flow in the front-end lining up with front shock tower geometry. The high-performance item has protection and surrounds the Schumacher spur gear guard like a glove.
