JConcepts Magma tires & Cheetah wheels

The all new Magma tire by JConcepts is an all-around performer for 1/8th drivers looking to conquer the toughest terrain while being incredibly stable at high-speeds. Designed with extreme abuse and speed in-mind, the Magma tire has giant horizontal tread which is bridge shaped and constructed for massive forward-bite. The tire carcass is built on race winning single contour geometry with inner radial ribs for expansion control. The low-profile design makes high-speed runs and turns possible and the race enhanced compound grips to just about any bashing or dirt surface imaginable. The tall tread provides a lot of life in multiple conditions and the detail in the tread with horizontal cuts, diagonal reliefs and outer receptors help the side-wall of the tire. The pre-mounted Magma tire includes closed cell inserts inside the tire and glued to 83mm (#3395) Cheetah wheels in either white or black. Using the included hardware, bolt-on either a 12mm or 17mm adaptor which suits the vehicle at hand and secure the hubs. The dish cover options bolt to the wheel from the inside out giving a legendary salt flat look of 1:1 speedsters.

JConcepts JCI Tucked 1989 Ford F-250 body

After trial and testing, the design team at JConcepts presents this ‘tucked’ 1989 Ford for maximum front and rear tire clearance and articulation. Performance does not stop there as a slim front and rear section slides or “tucks” through tight quarters making it possible to conquer tough or enclosed trailing course sections. With plenty of mounting space on the hood and bed, along with large wheel well openings, the body is perfect for class 2 competitions or general low-stance crawling. The combined design with brick-nose front-end, chisel-side panels and single cab construction has all the foundation of a hardworking pick-up truck. Recessed front windshield and side-windows create a solid upper section to withstand roll-overs and descending incidents found on the trail. The long-bed area has a strong ledge all the way around to mount an assortment of accessories (not included). Finish off the 1989 body shell with included decals for grille, headlights, and rear tailgate panel. The 12.3” wheelbase fits a large assortment of vehicles on the market to satisfy a genre. Also included with the clear body is window mask and instruction sheet.

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.

JConcepts Team Associated DR10 wheelie bar

JConcepts has designed a new wheelie bar for the Team Associated DR10 which delivers on looks, versatility and performance. A successful design starts with a solid mounting location to resist twist and flex. The aluminium rear wheelie bar mount designed to fit into place provides solid placement. The anodised black with silver chamfer highlighting give the amazing look but more importantly replaces a stock plastic item which shores up a huge issue with the stock wheelie bar assembly. Backing into the design, attaching steel ball-ends to the assembly works wonders when connected to genuine Team Associated ball-cups threaded into aluminium tubes, steel Fin turnbuckles and secured with 3mm jam nuts to hold adjustment and stability.

JConcepts analog quick reference calipers

Quick reference dimensions and size considerations are common place in the RC pit area. Racers have asked over and over for a small footprint item that is able to measure small spaces accurately and quickly. The quick reference callipers from JConcepts are analog based and capable to be locked into place to secure or save dimensions for later or to copy side-to-side. The all-aluminium built and anodised item, built from 4 pieces, is a very technical and precise piece. The quick reference tool has the ability to measure inside surfaces and outside surfaces depending on which end is chosen for use. A graduated scale is laser etched onto the item to allow the user to measure in .5mm increments. A thumbscrew allows the sliding plane to be locked into place for quick comparisons and reference distances. A display window is machined into the upper slide where dimensions are shown up to an overall length of 80mm.
