JConcepts titanium Clod Buster, Regulator & B74.1 parts

JConcepts have produced number of new titanium parts for the Tamiya Clod Buster, JConcepts Regulator and Associated B74. The parts include large 8 x 9mm pivot balls, 5.5 x 8mm ball ends and 6 x 6mm ball studs. The 8 x 9mm pivot balls work with the ladder bars on the Clod Buster and Regulator chassis, while the 5.5 x 8mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles also work well on the Regulator’s behind axle steering assembly. The 6 x 6mm pivot balls replace the lower links move on the Clod Buster and Regulator chassis. With these lightweight JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2.5mm or 2mm wrench while the light-weight material screws together very easily. The tough design, light-weight materials add to the simplicity of a monster truck build and can be used time and time again for consistency.

JConcepts 1985 Ford Ranger body

The mid-sized truck wars were intense during the 1980’s and 1990’s and the Ford Ranger was a standout during this time. An entire line-up of Rangers was produced with several different trim options available to accommodate an ever-growing truck enthusiast crowd. JConcepts steps into the mid-sized body shell truck market with the 1982-1992 Ford Ranger release. The styling of the Ranger mimics the full-size F-Series at the time with the iconic square body shape. Square and single headlights on the earlier models and then wrap-around, split-light, and turn-signal front-end treatment were showcased on the later versions. JConcepts has taken the opportunity to replicate these different headlight and grille combinations on the included decal sheet so many year models can be reproduced.
