JConcepts King Sling Mega Truck body

JConcepts have introduced the new King Sling Mega Truck body shell. From the mind of Dennis Anderson, the wild and wooly King Sling was born. The ultimate Mega Truck, born in Poplar Branch, North Carolina, has a wild side, combining the brute power and durability of a monster truck with the madness of a mud racer. King Sling is a beast, and JConcepts has worked together with designers and builders to replicate this body shell to fit on a host of popular chassis including the Axial SMT10. The slate was once again wiped clean and the form started to take shape in the computer to fit and finish on a selection of vehicles. A lot of hand dressing took place to ensure the details were correct on the shell itself, not to mention the iconic wing shape and rear scoop treatment. Fred “Freestyle” Reep sat shotgun on this project reviewing the style, shape and decal creation to ultimately please the man, the myth the legend, Dennis Anderson. No superstar race machine would be complete without decoration. The King Sling is the first JConcepts body to include two decal sheets in the package that covers logos, signatures, flames and branding recognition.

CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 Japan Edition

Japanese CRC distributors Kimihiko Yano have introduced a special Japan Edition of the CRC Carpet Knife Twenty5 1/12th scale pan car. The CK25J kit is available with a carbon or aluminium chassis, it comes with a matching lower pod plate, a new carbon fibre sliding servo mount plate as well as the light weight carbon fibre X Brace. The car will use a longer wheelbase than the standard US version that allows to run long Xray side links while the servo mount plate utilises KO Propo or Sanwa servos. In addition the distance between the centre pivot and the rear axle was shortened to improve rear traction which is further helped by the new X Brace. Features such as the LCG sliding motor mount, the new-design front bumper and the balanced double-clamping left wheel hub were taken over from the popular US version.
