SWorkz hard coated aluminium HET diff case

Posted: 22 Mar 2021 02:34 PM PDT

SWorkz have introduced this hard coated aluminium HET case for 1/8th front and rear differentials. CNC machined, this high precision part is very often used for the rear differential of GT cars, but it is also a very useful option for buggy and truggy. The aluminium case is not only stronger but also provides better cooling and therefore a more constant behaviour, especially in long runs, like finals.

JConcepts 2020 Ford Raptor Bigfoot body

Posted: 20 Mar 2021 02:00 AM PDT

JConcepts has teamed up with Bigfoot 4×4 to offer officially licensed decal sets to go along with branded body shells. The first offering is Summit Bigfoot 21 which includes all logos associated with the truck in one of the more famous and current trim packages. The included body shell, a 2020 Ford Raptor, is the work of the JConcepts crew always looking to offer the best performing and most accurate presentation on the market. The Raptor launches quick with its low-slung design, snoopy front-end and detailed representation. The grille area is heavily recessed so the included decals lock into place and high-end looks intimidate anyone at the starting line. Upper louvers, hard-edge hood impressions help create a strong and durable mounting area for the body and matches the 1:1 as a racer.

The cab is Raptor-ised, with centre channel, recessed front windshield and side windows to provide rigidity to the area. The extra cab window has an included decal to help boldly display supporting sponsorships. Travel back to the bed area, the pronounced rear fenders make the truck pop, and in addition, the 2020 truck carves out a new detail with another layered body panel for a new edgy feature. The slight bed recess allows plenty of space for body mounting and trim-able space for roll-bars and items found on chassis’ such as the Axial SMT10.

The rear of the fender is recessed for included decals for taillights. The surface representing blank space in the 1:1 world can be left as a subdued tailgate or cut or trimmed to a specific liking. One of the most important parts of any shell are the wheel wells. The JConcepts produced Ford Raptor has larger openings with flares to give clearance accurately and deliberately for large tires like the racing Renegades.
