JConcepts D819 S15 buggy body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for HB Racing’s forthcoming D819 1/8th nitro buggy is the new S15 body shell. The S15 blends performance features on the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabilizer kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean and a deep rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the D819 and D817V2 kit variants. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the HB Racing chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. Each body comes with window masks and a decal sheet.

JConcepts Finnisher D817T body shell

Another new body shell coming out of the JConcepts labs is the Finnisher design body for the HB Racing D817T. The winner of the 2016 ROAR National Championship, the Finnisher body in the hands of Ryan Maifield is a proven racing commodity. JConcepts is here to support the 1/8th truck class with a Finnisher body which is a drop fit on to the HB Racing D817T nitro and E817T electric racing trucks. The lid incorporates pre-dimpled locations and with the slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique D817T/E817T shock geometry available using the #HB204425 front shock tower. The body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. Extended 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. The Finnisher has a built-in air escape passage on the roof which allows the customer to fine-tune the body for maximum outdoor performance. The new body includes champion rear name plates which provide additional high-speed stability and improved positioning of the rear bed rails to strengthen the assembly. Overall handling has been improved by balancing the bias between the cab location and rear wing placement which control the majority of the aero affects of the aggressively styled body.

Made for Arrma’s Kraton BLX truck is an exclusive Finnisher design body from JConcepts. The new lid for the Kraton BLX polishes off an already beastly truck.

A wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique Kraton shock geometry. The body incorporates a large centre fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed.

JConcepts 1967 Chevy Chevelle body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new 1967 Chevy Chevelle for custom SCT vehicles. As the street eliminator class heats up on the circuit, JConcepts has faithfully recreated the icon in full detail. Like all vehicles of this generation, the imagination was amazing in the design department, swooping lines, hard edges and statement making trim packages. The corners of the front-end are pointed and wedge down to point the driver in the correct direction. The hood-scoop is planted along the centre-line of the vehicle bringing that drag-strip inspiration. The roof and coverage of the Chevelle is large and in charge, plenty of head-room for the scale drivers and accessories fans can deliver. One of the staples of the 1967 is the long rear deck lid and large wraparound taillamps with standard backup light mock-ups. Each body also includes the rear wing option to finalise the street eliminator look. The lower rear wing support is mounted carefully to the trunk using double sided tape or shoe goo. The upper wing section sets down and provides the look and finishing touch to the 1967 classic. The body measures a 13”/330mm wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.75”/273mm wide front and 11”/279mm rear. The body is built for a 2WD SCT wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original full-scale counterpart and it comes including a detailed decal sheet.

JConcepts 1982 GMC K2500 MT body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for 1/10th scale monster trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede and Tamiya Clod Buster is the 1982 GMC K2500 body, bringing back the late 70’s and early 80’s generation GMC truck line-up to the RC enthusiast. For the early 1980’s model year, the iconic square body emerged, a chiseled front-end, gently swept back from the centre. 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 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 favourite square body grille and trim package. Quadruple light and double light bezel setups are included which contain bar and tube grilles combinations. In addition, a plethora of badges are offered on the sheet featuring Sierra Grande, Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, Scottsdale and Silverado combinations.

JConcepts 1/10th buggy drawstring tote bag

Coming from JConcepts is their new drawstring tote bag for 1/10th off-road buggies. The drawstring bag has a handy base design with durable material and it is comprised of multiple compartments with the largest area being reserved for RC vehicle resting space. Inside the large opening is a divider which allows the user to separate items, such as instruction manuals, setup books or generally small related items, from the vehicle compartment. On the outside, a zipper closure opens to another slide compartment that can be completely isolated from other items. Large gauge drawstrings are located on the perimeter which when pulled together clinches the bag at the top. Heavy stitching is used throughout to help maintain construction and the main material offers some resistance to moisture in select closed areas. Small holes are located at the bottom of the outside pouch for ventilation. The bag is topped off with printed JConcepts Racing Team logo for authenticity and brand loyalty.
