JConcepts parts tray in white, pink & green

JConcepts have introduced three new colour variants for their parts tray, with white pink and green add to the mix, making it now 8 different versions. Providing a great platform for organisation with its detailed design, divided pockets and steady base weight, the tray is precision moulded in a grippy rubber material that allows the parts to stay rooted where they are placed. The tray has six, built-in positions to place a differential for builds or fluid fills and can accommodate 1/10th and 1/8th sized assemblies. The iconic Dirt-Web tread pattern is raised into the surface of the largest cubicle and JConcepts.net logos blaze the outer perimeter to show brand loyalty and authenticity.

JConcepts RC10 standard front axles

JConcepts continue with their vintage car part releases and one part that brings the originality of the RC10, RC10B2, and RC10B3 together is the original length front axle. While using the stock offset front wheel, having the standard length axle contributes to the original stance and performance of the iconic vehicles. JConcepts has re-created these parts in 7075 aluminium, anodised black, threaded on the outside for the original style nylon wheel nut and in addition, threaded inside for 4-40 set screws (not included).

JConcepts RC10 Mono wheels

JConcepts supports the vintage RC enthusiast with the release of new Mono wheels. The original offset front and rear wheels for the RC10, RC10B2 and RC10B3 have been highly sought-after for years by drivers looking to outfit a restoration project or racers actively racing their vehicles. The 2.2” Mono wheels are inspired by the originals, feature the iconic dish shape with the rear wheels utilising the pin drive setup for 3/16” axles while the fronts accept a non-flanged 3/16 x 3/8” bearing. JConcepts has taken the liberty of increasing the wheel width to the inside in order to accommodate today’s race tires. The wheels include a vent hole on the outer diameter and an added outer “catch” to reduce the ability for glue to run down the face of the wheel during application and curing. Mono wheels are available in bright white and fluorescent racing yellow and packaged 4 pieces per pack.

JConcepts Tremor SCT wheels

JConcepts have introduced their all new Tremor wheels for the 2.2 x 3.0” SCT wheel design. The Tremor is a 2-piece 12mm hex wheel assembly that allows different colour combinations between the mock bead lock and the main wheel structure. Having the wheels all one powerful colour or split matchups is now possible and allows the user even more colour combinations than ever before. The Tremor has 2 widths, the front, which is narrow and the rear which is interchangeable and standard for many platforms and vehicles on the market including the Slash 2wd and 4×4. The interlocked look of the 5-star pattern is highly sought-after by the 1:1 fanatics and the strength built inside is, of course, RC basher approved. The outer faux bead lock looks real and has a notch and cut-out pattern appearing very industrial while the bead lock has multiple location bosses which align with heavy recessed areas in the wheel.

JConcepts JCI M117 Lloyd body

The new JCI M117 Lloyd body by JConcepts is the definition of square body design with plenty of room underneath its large footprint for an assortment of accessories, electrical, transmission and suspension layouts. The M117 has a military side and once detailed with included distressed stars, JConcepts logos, headlight and grille, the new body transforms a rig in to a battle tested utility truck. With a lot of popular 12.3” wheelbase trucks on the market, the JConcepts team focused on the Lloyd being versatile enough to top the best rigs in the market. With large flange fenders the shell makes space for large tires which produce the best grip, flex and allow articulation. The straight panel layout, with recessed and ridged details help the body maintain its strong physique. Work your way up the almost 90 degree windshield angle is a chore but scale inspired cab and canvas like top with heavily bordered windows is what makes the M117 a classic.

JConcepts Animal & Hawk SCT tires

One of the best ways to sling the dirt and sand is with the new Animal and Hawk tires by JConcepts. The Animal is a large height, paddle rear tire, cutting through the dust, sand and dirt while spraying rooster-tails against the competition. The 3.0” x 2.2” carcass has strategically placed upper paddles with a scoop shape to thrust into any patch of terrain and blow right through it. One of the details is the smooth carcass with mock cut-off paddle sections which is a common sight in 1:1 tires. The Hawk multi-rib front tires are directional and meant to cut-through the loam and silt dirt. The 3.0” x 2.2” narrowed carcass has strategically placed radius ribs in a step-up fashion to give turning traction during different depths of surface conditions. Both tires are for Short Course trucks and 1:1 inspired to provide best in class looks and performance. Available loose or pre mounted for Slash.

JConcepts aluminium 20mm clamping servo horns

New for the Mugen MBX8 & Team Associated RC8B3.2, this JConcepts 20mm servo horn is available in both 23T and 25T versions. A clamping style servo horn, it is great for high-torque situations providing additional security and relieving some load to the servo splines themselves. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on the top surrounds the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.

JConcepts Gozer monster truck body

When it comes to monster truck nastiness, look no further than the JConcepts Gozer body for 12 to 13” wheelbase monster trucks. The angular front and rear sections provide major clearance for big racing tires such as the JConcepts Renegades. The nature of the 4-door body has a lot of purpose in mind and with a little nip here and a tuck there, the Gozer sits down on platforms such as the Axial SMT10 and similar sized and wheelbase trucks. A large arched front wheel-well dead-ends at the grille section and once covered with included decal, looks quite bossy and stares you down like a piece of heavy-equipment. The high-roof design with crisp body lines, front vent and recessed bed are incorporated to provide durability to a freestyle bruising machine. Large format windows in the dual cab design provide plenty of rise and clearance for an assortment of body combinations. Large swooping rear wheel wells allow suspension travel to soak up the bumps while the tires are allowed a lot of movement up into the body. Included in each body set, a clear and heavy-duty polycarbonate body, decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.
