JConcepts D8T Punisher & 1/16th Slash Truth

JConcepts have introduced a number of new items including new bodies for the Hot Bodies D8T and Traxxas 1/16th Slash. First up is the new Punisher body for the D8T which they claim to be is the meanest, nastiest thing out for 1/8th truck racing. Beginning with the newly re-designed grill and headlight treatment, the Punisher stares you down like a trained fighter. The hood and cab treatment are amongst the lowest in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. The bed area represents the latest offering for 1/8th truck racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape. For the 1/16th Slash, the Truth’s cab, bed and fenders are all areas of focus and in addition, one of the highlights of the styling cues includes extra fender clearance to minimize troublesome tire rubbing issues.

JConcepts BAJR Slash body shell

New for the Traxxas Slash, the BAJR as it is named, is concept inspired from the ground up to be the ultimate in desert and off-road looks and performance. The BAJR is a fresh design, starting from the front of the vehicle, the super narrow and tucked front quarter panel treatment creates one of the slickest Illuzionized looks around. The round Baja-esque profile of the cab area gives that familiar desert appearance. As the design develops toward the rear, the pronounced roof scoop, and proceeding cut-out and escape area makes this body unmistakably JConcepts. Pronounced rear fender flare treatment and dovetail rear end finishes off the most concept inspired Short Course body to date.
