JConcepts 1967 Chevy Camaro Street Eliminator body

Coming from JConcepts is their new 1967 Chevy Camaro Street Eliminator body shell. One of Chevrolet’s first responses in the Muscle Car war of the late 60’s and early 70’s was the release of the 1967 Camaro. The much-heralded design packed a ton of performance value into a production car for the ages. JConcepts has reacted frequently and quickly during the rise of the RC Drag Racing scene offering many sporty designs to match the customer demands of serious competition. The body’s design begins with the dropped V-nose and with an assortment of decal grille options included that can take on the look of many trim packages offered on the 67. As the hood rises, the power scoop blends into the windshield to allow plenty of clearance under the shell. The high attack angle of the windshield blends straight into the legendary cab shape of the Camaro. A short trunk deck makes perfect room for the included large rear wing lower and upper assembly pieces. Under the wing, find the real estate where the decals finish off the racer cut rear-end giving room for any vehicle wheelie bars or aftermarket speed-shop goodies. The overall width of the body is roomy for an assortment of builds and the hourglass shape hits just around the rear tire assembly for that broad and arrow appearance. Slight fender flares give the user a hint of trimming direction for the 13” wheelbase and wheel well openings. The trim lines throughout the body provide a low-profile appearance and steady guide for a clean overall look. Included come a 1967 Chevy Camaro decal sheet, rear wing option including lower support and upper wing spoiler and the paint masks for all windows.

JConcepts B74 aluminium arm mounts

JConcepts have announced the release of their new aluminium suspension arm mounts for the Team Associated B74 buggy. Available in blue colour, the precision machined pieces are carefully crafted to accept the standard Team Associated pill inserts. The suspension mounts are a critical piece of any vehicle, they provide the base for adjustments such as toe-in, anti-squat and wheelbase. A stout suspension mount can go a long way to assuring your vehicle is technically correct and up to specification. The JConcepts mounts are lightweight enough for the weight conscious racer but beefy enough to stand-up to the rigours of high-end 4WD modified buggy racing. The mounts feature chamfer highlighted edging which improve the curb appeal and bring out the luster in any show or race ride. They are available separately and identification markings are located on the part to show position.

JConcepts 22X-4 F2 body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new F2 body shell for the TLR 22X-4 buggy. The initial F2 design quickly proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the original Finnisher bodies, the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance and it is a drop fit for the popular TLR 22X-4 buggy. With the evolution of racetracks, complicated circuits combining more aggressive jumps and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance/visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The rear of the pod has been lowered giving a low-profile look. The front of the body has the Finnisher step-down treatment giving the 22X-4 first in class styling. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher V-step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and several louver options off the rear. The F2 body in the hands of Dakotah Phend won the 2020 Midwest Championship and JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals. The JConcepts body is designed exclusively for the new 22X-4 platform and includes all the necessary cut-lines and each package includes the S-Type wings. Additional S-Type wings are also sold separately.

JConcepts Finnisher Mini-T 2.0 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Losi Mini-T 2.0 is the new Finnisher truck body shell. The clear body has a slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance that highlight a performance-oriented core. The front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for mini front-end geometry and body mounts while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18-wheeler. Just like the larger trucks, the Mini-T body has all the performance-based features like air-escape passages which can be trimmed by the customer for better “in-flight” characteristics. Recessed windows look heavy and adds to the depth of the Finnisher styling. Heavy bracing between the back of the cab and rear shock tower humps connect the features and add some rigidness to the design. The rear spoiler is included as part of the rear of complete body assembly mould and the package is complete with window masks and a decal sheet.

JConcepts Colt 1.9” beadlock wheel

Coming from JConcepts is their new Colt 1.9” beadlock crawler wheel. The cleverly designed beadlock alternative for 1.9” tyres features 8 triangle spokes that provide a Wagon look which is perfect for vintage builds and trucks that need a raw muscle look of the 1970’s and 80’s. Dipping into the assembly, the Colt wheels assemble from the inside out and include an inner pinch ring which helps lock the two halves together. The outside of the wheel has the 12mm hex already blended into the design while supplying a sturdy wheel offset capable of taming an assortment of terrain. The final look arrives after the completed assembly is secured on the truck and the center cap is placed into position with included screws. The center cap covers all wheel nut and fitment territory and leaves the look of the wheel clean and stylized. The wheels are molded in a durable material and they come as pairs.
