P2 or S15 Jconcepts body? Which one you need?
S15 vs P2 – Which 1/8th Buggy Body Is Right for You?
One of the most common questions we get from racers:
"How do I choose between the JConcepts S15 and P2 1/8th scale buggy bodies?"
The answer is it all comes down to track style, tuning needs, and driving feel. Here’s the breakdown, straight from racer feedback and trackside experience:
S15 – The Consistency King
The S15 is known for its neutral feel and outstanding jumping characteristics. It gives drivers confidence to push hard with fewer surprises behind the wheel. If you’re racing on a high-speed track with big jumps and flowing corners — this is where the S15 shines. It’s no coincidence the S15 has dominated major events including the IFMAR Worlds, and has even influenced body styles from kits and competitors alike. Super feeling for high grip tracks or astroturf.
P2 – The Aggressive Specialist
Need more front grip and sharper rotation? The P2 delivers. Designed for tracks that demand quick transitions - think tight 180° corners, polished surfaces, or anything with low natural steering - the P2 helps racers dive into corners and rotate faster for max corner speed. You can really like it for slippery conditions for example.
Tuning Tip:
Some racers even choose based on their kit's natural balance. If your buggy already has aggressive steering, the S15 may help tame it. If your setup tends to push or feel neutral, the P2 can wake up the front end.
