This is JQ Products "THE Car" Yellow Edition 1/8 Scale Competition PRO Buggy Kit, with an included "Pre-Season Value Kit". The 2013 season is upon us, and JQ has added more value to THE Yellow Edition kit, buy including the Pre-Season Value kit! The kit is normally priced, but includes over $100 worth of updated parts that help to improve the handling of the car. This kit includes the update wide chassis, and all the parts needed to build the car with the wide chassis, such as throttle/brake linkage, rear brace, ackermann plate and right side guard.

This chassis makes the car more stable and easier to drive, with more traction, and slower, less aggressive reaction. If you are an aggressive driver, or are struggling to find an easy to drive setup, the wide chassis is for you. The updated Akermann helps to calm down the initial steering response and the relative steering mid to exit of the corner is increased. This also helps to make THE Car easier to drive by making it less responsive, yet it maintains good steering through the corner. Additionally, this kit also includes the parts needed to build the standard Yellow Edition kit, for those that prefer the super fast reaction of a nimble and twitchy car.

Updates:

  • Wide Chassis
  • Old School Ackermann Plate, (with required hardware)
  • Throttle and Break Linkages (for wide chassis)
  • Rear Brace (for wide chassis)
  • Right Sideguard (for wide chassis)
NOTE: The Value Kit, does NOT include a wide body. The YE body will not work as it is too narrow. We will be offering a JQ Products wide body at the end of April. Until then, the ProLine JQ Bulldog works, along with bodies for XRAY for example.

Features:
  • Narrower, symmetrical and more flexible chassis. For more traction, improved jump landing and rough track handling.
  • Sideguards to match the chassis.
  • Bodyshell to match the chassis.
  • Improved smoother shocks, with soft bladders and CNC shock caps. These improve every aspect of the handling. THECar is easier to drive.
  • Shock springs, Soft, Medium and Hard. THECar includes Med and Hard as standard.
  • 3 shoe clutch, for increased performance. Now it actually works.
  • Larger capacity fuel tank with O-ring cap seal for improved sealing.
  • Smooth Gearing, (43/13) and (45/13) included as standard.
  • Extra set of stiffer 2.4 and 2.5 swaybars included.

That's awesome JQ is taking his vehicles very seriously! He is constantly testing to further better his cars. He seems truly dedicated to making a good, reliable and fast car. I had a JQ with a tekno V4 conversion on it and it drove like a dream. If he had a truggy out back then I would have kept it but I've since moved on to other brands. Plus I switch at least once a year to keep things fresh lol.
