JConcepts Injection Molded 1:8 Buggy Front Wings

Having unveiled its new option of injection molded front wing in the early part of the 2025 racing season, JConcepts ups the ante once again with their latest item bringing additional focus to an area of the vehicle that is overlooked.  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 wings or scoops available in polycarbonate have 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 colours 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.  On the Xray models, it’s necessary to mount the bracket item to the shock tower first, then install and secure the JConcepts item to the new mounting bracket.  The new range of injection molded front wings covers Mugen, Team Associated, Tekno, Sworkz, and Xray.

JConcepts S15 XB8’25 Body

JConcepts has updated its S15 body shell line-up with the addition of an option for the XB8’25 1:8 Buggy from Xray.  The S15 blends performance features from the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up.  The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability.  The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the XB8’25.  The S15 concept uses heavily chamfered side-pods blended into winglets made popular by JConcepts heritage designs.

JConcepts RC10 4WD Carbon Fibre Shock Towers

With option parts in high demand for the recently released RC10 4WD from Team Associated, JConcepts has released Carbon Fibre front and rear shock towers.  The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry but lacks the strength that Carbon Fibre can provide.  The new JC front shock tower includes only the wide-track front suspension geometry and is designed specifically for drivers upgrading to the longer front A-arm version of the RC10.  The rear shock tower maintains the RC10 4WD geometry but also includes more adjustment holes including holes found on the race inspired RC10 Worlds car.  Both towers include detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response.

JConcepts RC10B7 Silent Speed spur gears

JConcepts has introduced the Silent Speed line of spur gears for the RC10B7 2WD Buggy from Team Associated.  Silent Speed spur gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more ‘silence’ on the racetrack.  The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance.  The gears are marked for size, so they are identifiable unassembled.  Silent Speed spur gears are also branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity.  The 48P Silent Speed spur gears are available in 70, 72, 75, 78, and 81T.

JConcepts Pioneer 1:10 2WD buggy wheels

First debuted at the 2024 Florida Carpet Championships, JConcepts has officially released its Pioneer wheels for the modern 2WD buggy class.  While looking at a 1989 Masami Hirosaka replica, Jason Ruona had a 3D vision of recreating an iconic variation.  The pop-out panels of the Pioneer wheels add new looks in a positive direction while the home position remains for the proper offset, and mounting characteristics.  Fresh outer ribs drop in between the sectional panels and a radial ring around the wheel nut area.  The ribs connect the 4 screw location areas created to represent adaptors used during the golden age of RC.  JConcepts offer titanium screws that work perfectly with these wheels, available separately, and in two different colours, burnt blue and stealth black.  The dimensional aspect of the wheels matches the IFMAR World Championship winning Mono wheels, and they have an industry standard offset and are produced in durable material, inner reinforcing ribs and stout 12mm hex area pack this design.  The 4 pack of wheels will be available in popular colours bright white, and fluorescent yellow, retro pink and stealth black.

JConcepts JCI M117 Lloyd 2 crawler body

In the latest crawler body release from Florida company JConcepts comes the JCI M117 Lloyd 2.  A body that fits a huge variety of scale and trail trucks, version 2 is significantly more athletic and low-profile, featuring shortened overhangs on the front and rear.  The polycarbonate shell embodies the classic square body design, providing ample space underneath its footprint for a variety of accessories, electrical, transmission, and suspension layouts.  The M117 exudes a military vibe, and once detailed with included distressed stars, JConcepts logos, headlight, and grille, it transforms a rig into a battle-tested utility truck.  The new class 1 or 2 body shell boasts a 7.25” width across the wheel well flares and centre section, offering ample room to accommodate custom rock sliders.  Given the popularity of 12.3” wheelbase trucks on the market, the JConcepts team prioritised the Lloyd 2’s versatility to surpass even the best rigs in the market.
