JConcepts 1979 Ford F-250 12.3″ wheelbase

Posted: 03 Oct 2020 10:18 AM PDT

JConcepts have brought out a version of the 1979 Ford F-250 for the Traxxas TRX-4 Sport, Element RC Enduro and Axial 12.3″ wheelbase vehicles. The iconic body style shaped and revised by Ford, specifically for the 1979 model year, features rectangular headlights and a one-piece centre grille while the heavily chiseled, square body look with enlarged, flat-top wheel wells set this body off as a favourite. The recessed body line extends down the entire side of the standard cab body and the included decal sheet details this section to appear like the chrome trim from yesteryear. The wrap-around front windshield, recessed side windows are outlined to perfection while the body lines are all in place to show off that vintage look. Perhaps the most important part of the design, the front headlights, grille, taillights, and tailgate are replicated with a decal sheet giving that all important, high-impact look. The 12.3” wheelbase gives drivers options for mounting to standard or extended length chassis while the flat bed area gives plenty of space for body mount locations or customised with bed cover look.

JConcepts RC10B2 carbon fibre front shock tower

Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:27 PM PDT

The RC10B2, one of the most popular RC vehicles in the mid 1990’s has a new carbon fibre shock tower courtesy of JConcepts. The stock vehicle comes standard with a twin up-right unit which carries all the original geometry, however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength, and appearance that the JConcepts tower can provide. The new front shock tower features a connected tower design with X centre giving that all important strength. It also includes detailed and reinforced areas in the large pocketed area, adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the front-end.
