JConcepts Racing Bag Categories - Tools, Merchandising, JConcepts, Products - comments closed
JConcepts have been busy it seems, judging by their new releases today, and we thank them for making a quiet news day a little bit better. This Racing Bag is a multi-purpose equipment bag that can be used for about any of your R/C needs. Its design and large proportions allow you to store and transfer just about any combination of R/C equipment you desire. There is enough room for a 1/8 or 1/10 scale buggy, 1/10 scale truck or touring car as well as lots of room for radio gear, tools, tires, or various other R/C gear. This racing bag has the JConcepts logo printed, on each end as well as the sides and top and it is huge!

A few months ago JConcepts released their effective and really cool looking Illuzion buggy wing and at that time it was only available in white and yellow. Today they announced that this wing will now be available in black, and just to recap about the product itself, it is designed for both 1/8th buggies and truggies and features durable through-rib design and recessed side dams for extra decal protection.
JConcepts also released some Ball Cup sets which are designed to fit all 1/10th scale off-road vehicles and come in black, white and yellow. Designed with performance as well as aesthetics in mind these newly designed low-profile ball cups have been designed for extra durability and added ‘wheel to tie-rod’ clearance. The set comes with 4 left and 4 right low profile ball cups, as well as 12 normal ball cups, included per package.

JConcepts tires impress on debut Categories - JConcepts, Tires, Off Road, Products - comments closed
The debut for the all new JConcepts off road tires took place at last months Nitro Challenge and on its debut race they took the win in the hands of top off road racer Ryan Maifield. In the hotly contested 45 minute A-main event, Maifield made it a debut to remember by winning the Pro Gas Truck class A-main with his Associated GT2 running on JConcepts “Double Dees” tires in Sticky Green Compound. In 1/8th scale buggy, Maifield also blitzed the track in Round 2 of qualifying with his Associated RC8 by laying down a TQ run using the 1/8th scale version of the “Double Dees”.
