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 Xray for 2025 after a career long drive at TLR ended, Phend achieved a triple at this year’s US Nationals winning the Nitro Buggy, eBuggy, and Truggy titles with JConcepts providing the traction for each of his wins. 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.

JConcepts Overdose 1:8 Buggy Tyre

JConcepts has announced the release of its all new Overdose 1:8 Buggy Tyre. With the Florida company’s race team arriving to IFMAR World Championships in Redovan, Spain with the new layered bar tyre for extreme conditions, the tread was up to the task of resisting long runs and main events past 30 minutes of action in the heat and glued track conditions at the Barcelos Buggy Arena track. The name arrives after “over-doing it” and adding additional overlapping bars of tread to form a mat of material. The Overdose tyre is all business, made for high-competition racing, extreme conditions with a large amount of grip. The inner carcass has increased thickness, added inner ribbing instances and generally a more robust carcass to limit overheating, sag, and dimensional instability. With the Overdose in popular compounds such as blue, green, aqua, and silver, you can tune with compound by adding less rolling resistance, and an innovative layered and repeated instances of rubber surface area. The compact and nested centre section of the tire builds the design from the centre out to provide forward bite with directional resistance.

JConcepts RC10B7 Alu Battery Hold and Swing Set

New from JConcepts comes this swing operated battery retainer that is designed for simplicity, adjustability, and quick battery changes. Available in blue and black anodised colours options, the aluminium rails bolt to the standard RC10B7 platform chassis side guards and functions like the stock plastic components. The aluminium swings include hardware for installation and spacers for height adjustment depending on which battery type is used in the vehicle. When using a tall battery pack, it is necessary to install the tall stand-offs under the swing part to raise the height of the entire assembly. For the low-profile battery pack, install the short stand-offs to outfit the configuration to adapt to the required height. Two different length BHCS screws are included and should be used in conjunction with the corresponding stand-off. It is also necessary to use the stock O-rings from the kit parts to provide the cushion and vibration resistance.

JConcepts Protector RC10 1989 Stealth buggy body

New from JConcepts comes the Protector body for the RC10 1989 Stealth buggy from Team Associated. Debuted at the 2025 Team Associated Vintage Championship in Las Vegas last weekend and a hit in the hands of Ryan Maifield, the new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10 and one of the most popular kit bodies of all-time. This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s with rear biased cab, large rear transmission over-hanging section, and large rear windows. The body fits around the 1989 Stealth chassis with careful considerations to the angles, height, and transitions. One of the most retro bodies in the JConcepts fleet, the Protector has very simple side-pods and efficiently covers the chassis. Multiple side windows, including the vintage back window, stand out as class leading details. The front nose piece of the body is feathered on the sides and chamfered to fit between the shock tower and slides just inside and over the top deck. A small, flared section near the front provides clearance around the steering bell cranks and servo link. The rear overhang of the body is what makes a vintage buggy stand out vs later model vehicles. The rise over the rear shock tower has tower protection and an outlining detail around the shocks. Included in each package is a 5.5” wing that is designed to sit flat on the geometry of the body and sits down and hugs the back of the body. A simple, yet detailed wing design provides plenty of “sling” clearance for dirt and debris from the rear tires. A full selection of gurney options on the rear of the wing gives racers a selection of heights to trim to, depending on the level of traction. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode.
