JConcepts Pre-mounted Swagger & Twin Pins tires

Two new items from JConcepts, the Twin Pins 2wd rear pre-mounted tire and the Swagger pre-mounted 2wd front tire, both in pink compound. The Twin Pins feature a dual spike which is connected together to form a mini-mountain like silhouette. The Twins are rotated throughout the design to form a solid, pin rich environment so surface area is maximised. The tire carcass itself has been refined, slammed to low-profile, pre-mounted on #3348W or #3348Y wheels refined for high-speed standards and slimmed out to reduce weight in all possible areas. The centre section of the tire is connected at the base by an ultra-low, winding ‘river walk’ which strengthens pins near the base. The ‘river walk’ can also extend the longevity of the tire once the pins are gone, the ‘walk’ retains some height for emergency long distance main events. The outside of a tire can make or break side-bite, too much pin and the tire can be somewhat tippy, while not enough yields a squirrely vehicle. The very outside of the Twin Pins have legs which extend out to micro pins giving the racer all-important support turning high-speed corners.

JConcepts 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition

JConcepts is pleased to announce a new partnership with USA-1 4×4 and owner Everett Jasmer on the creation of a new decal package for the 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition body. One of the most iconic names in the Monster Truck industry remains USA-1. The original built by Jasmer in the early 1980’s is a classic and features several notable items added to the legacy Chevy build that provides its stance, looks and branding package. With all the experience and expertise, the JConcepts decal set needed to be solid and after receiving all the photo assets of the vehicle, the JConcepts design team went to work recreating an icon. The body arrives clear in package with Chevrolet and JConcepts decal sheet along with window mask for ease of painting. Separately, the set also includes USA-1 4×4 decal sheet for the 1970 shell custom made and licensed through Everett Jasmer.

JConcepts Regulator option parts

JConcepts now has a host of accessory parts available for the Regulator chassis conversion kit. While designing the conversion, the design team took things an additional step by re-designing the entire axle housing and ladder bar assembly based on the original Clod Buster layout. This optimised layout provides several new updates and unlocks even more potential from the JConcepts Regulator. The parts include transmission housing halves, axle tubes, steering blocks, ladder bars, lower link connectors, and connector bar support. JConcepts offers an extensive list of items which can be purchased through their Shapeways store. In order to take advantage of some of these updates, it is necessary to use the non 3d printed items below in conjunction with the Shapeways parts to completely outfit the vehicle in performance condition.

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.
