JConcepts 1:8 Truggy Injection Molded Front Wing

JConcepts has released this new lightweight injection molded front wing for 1:8 Truggy. With 2 wings per package it is available in bright white, stealth black, fluorescent yellow, cool grey, and retro pink. The front wing on Truggy is a concept brought on by the JConcepts team during the 2022 racing season and since that time has been available as a vacuum formed part produced in polycarbonate. The front of the vehicle is often covered with a nose cone or item which can be painted or decorated to match the body shell paint or scheme. The front wing or scoop available in polycarbonate has since taken over providing some functional consideration to vehicle performance. The polycarbonate versions are often left clear or scuffed, but with new injection molded option, many colors are available to match. The durable nature of the material, the tall side dams built in conjunction with lower front lip gives the front-end benefits in high-speed turns, and sweeping sections. On most vehicles, it simply attaches using an existing screw or set of screws located on the front-end. In some instances, it might be necessary to source a 3mm BHCS to accommodate or mount to a vehicle. It is necessary to drill or ream holes to align with the popular vehicles listed such as the Tekno NT48 2.2, RC8T4, Mugen MBX8TR, Sworkz S35-T2 Evo.

JConcepts Micro-T Finnisher body w/Rear Spoiler

Ending out the 2025 year, JConcepts has released their Finnisher body for the popular 1:28 Micro-T from Losi. The body incorporates pre-dimpled locations for the mini truck and has a slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance that highlights a performance-oriented core. The front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for mini front-end geometry and body mounts while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight, and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight. Just like the larger trucks, the Micro-T body has all the performance-based features like air-escape passages which can be trimmed by the customer for better “in-flight” characteristics. Recessed windows look heavy and add to the depth of the Finnisher styling. Heavy bracing between the back of the cab and rear shock tower humps connects the features and add some rigidness to the design. The rear spoiler is included as part of the rear of complete body assembly mold. To assemble the rear spoiler, it’s necessary to use the standard mounting hardware and brace included with Micco-T kit. Each body receives window mask and a decal sheet.

Joining JConcepts in 2020, on making the announcement of his departure, Phend posted, ‘After 6 successful years my time with JConcepts is officially coming to an end. We have had a lot of National and other major race wins over the years and I can’t thank everyone there enough for all of the support over the years. Jason has been great to me and I appreciate the amount of time and effort that he has put into my race program. He does a lot for his drivers and the industry and I have a lot of respect for what he has created and accomplished. When I signed back in 2020 it was absolutely the right decision for my program and I wish them nothing but the best moving forward.

JConcepts 3DP 1:10 Offroad Carpet tyre

In another new tyre release from JConcepts, the US brand introduces the 1:10 3DP tyre designed and developed for carpet offroad racing. The 3DP is capable of high-performance with advanced wear characteristics, with its longer life span on the carpet created by adding pins and surface edges without reducing driving stability. Looking back in the JConcepts arsenal, a dirt tyre was released in 2011 named the 3D. The tyre was developed as half pin and half bar tire to give a lot of flexibility on different surfaces. Using this identity JConcepts adapted the Fuzz Bite “reverse water tower pins” to the 3DP with a massive increase in pin quantity for the centre portion of the tyre. For the inside and outside positions, unique bars which have been cut and sliced for increased flexibility are positioned like the original 3D dirt tyre. More pins are added in the open spaces utilising the original concept to allow slightly more space on the outside. A radial ring is added to the outside portion of the upper sidewall to provide low edges of contact patch to the racing surface. The 3DP tyres are available as unmounted, and pre-mounted options in either bright white or fluorescent yellow wheel colour combinations.
