JConcepts RC10T2 1995 Ford F-150 truck body

To honour of the golden age of stadium truck racing, JConcepts unveils a 1995 Ford F-150 stadium truck body for the Team Associated RC10T2 vintage 2WD truck. The RC10T2 has very little body options available and JConcepts took on a passion project to deliver a body to a vintage community thirsty for a fresh reboot. The JC body is narrow and sits close against the chassis to give racers the team look popular in the 1990’s. The styling is completely modelled after the most popular full-size truck of that era, the 1995 Ford F-150. The entire body shape has been chiseled, incorporating styling cues from the full-scale truck including wheel well shapes, door lines, window outlines and rear tailgate. The front-end sits just behind the front bumper while the headlight and grille area look strikingly stock and with included decal sheet, looks like its street truck counterpart. The RC10T2 body is moulded in a durable gauge material and includes rear spoiler, mounting hardware and decal sheet to completely outfit a vintage ride.

JConcepts 1982 GMC K10 1/16th E-Revo body

Coming from JConcepts is the 1982 GMC K10 truck body shell for the Traxxas 1/16th E-Revo. For the early 80’s model year of the popular truck, the iconic square body emerged, a chiseled front-end, gently swept back from the center. Fenders were redesigned as well as the hood and the classic vent windows. A new sloped hood replaced the previous generation hood that had less rake, and the exterior changes include optional headlights and an updated tailgate. Side-markers were now horizontal rather than vertical which is another tell-tale look of the later generation styling. The wheel wells have been scaled to the original size vehicle, for the most clearance or maximum articulation with large tires, it might be necessary to trim further into the fender flares for the tire size used. The square body generation spanned an incredible 14 years and with small changes to grille, headlights, and trim packages throughout the years, JConcepts has added a bonus to the included decal sheet. Five different grille options are included on the sheet giving the user the option of their favorite square body grille and trim package. Quadruple light and double light bezel setups are included which contain bar and tube grille combinations. In addition, a plethora of badges are offered on the sheet featuring Sierra Grande, Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, Scottsdale and Silverado combinations.

JConcepts Finnisher T6.1/YZ-2T truck body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the Finnisher truck body shell for both the Team Associated T6.1 and the Yokomo YZ-2T stadium trucks. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance-oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for unique geometry 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. Like the ROAR National Champion Hi-Flow SCT body, the Finnisher body has built-in air escape passages which allow the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The latest stadium trucks can utilize shocks placed on the front or rear of the rear suspension, the JConcepts body accommodates both configurations for the utmost versatility. The new body includes a high-performance gurney spoiler which increases rear grip and balances the handling characteristics of the aggressively styled body. The body fits both the T6.1 and YZ-2T kits.

JConcepts have announced the release of their popular Octagons 2.2” buggy tyres in Aqua compound.

The main surface of the tyre has the reliable slick and smooth surface which grips conditions as expected from a JConcepts tire. The Octagons are available as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear variant in aqua, green, black, and indoor clay, gold compounds to match just about any racing surface.

The continuous thickness carcass is light-weight and utilizes the industry standard 2.2” mounting beads.

JConcepts Ellipse stadium truck tyres

JConcepts have announced the release of the Ellipse stadium truck tyres in Aqua and Silver compound. The Ellipse, named after the center bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tires such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bars. The “web” style tire was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The center section of the tire is a home run utilizing a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive forward bite and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The Ellipse has already won a Stock National title in the hands of Matthew Gonzalez at the 2019 JConcepts Stock Nationals at OCRC Raceway. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. Now, the Ellipse is also available in aqua and silver compound. Included in each package are the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts.
