JConcepts Octagons for Short Course

Further expanding their Octagon tire line up, JConcepts have introduced the popular semi-slick for Short Course. Available in gold, green and black compound, the carcass is new, slightly lower and rounder profile than JConcepts slick tires of the past and incorporates heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support. The continuous thickness carcass is lightweight and utilises the industry standard 3.0” x 2.2” mounting bead mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces.

Dirt Racing Products parts tray

The new Dirt Racing Products parts tray provides a great platform for organisation with its detailed design, divided pockets and steady base weight. The tray is precision moulded in a rubber material which shows well in any pit area with the yellow colour option. The grippy nature of the rubber 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 to show brand loyalty and authenticity.

JConcepts 1993 Ford F-150 Rustler VXL body

In honour of the golden age of stadium truck racing, JConcepts unveils this 1993 Ford F-150 stadium truck body for the Traxxas Rustler. The Rustler hopeful has never quite seen a body like this for their vehicle and JConcepts has taken on a passion project to deliver a body to a community thirsty for a fresh lid. The JConcepts body is narrow and sits close against the chassis to give racers the Team Truck look popular in the 90’s. The styling is completely modelled after the most popular full-size truck of that era, the 1993 Ford F-150. The entire body shape has been chiseled, incorporating styling cues from the 1:1 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 looks strikingly stock and with included decal sheet, looks like its street truck counterpart. The JConcepts body is moulded in a durable gauge material and includes rear spoiler, mounting hardware and decal sheet to completely outfit the vehicle.

JConcepts T6.1 & SC6.1 protective sheets

JConcepts have added to their line of chassis protective sheets, with the introduction versions for the Associated T6.1 and SC6.1. The sticker is made of durable material and comes pre-cut, fitting the chassis bottom like a glove. Using the protective sheet will reduce wear and tear when running on highly abrasive surface while making for a slick surface to decrease friction between chassis and dirt surfaces. Each set includes two decals and additional rear skids that can be replaced once worn.

JConcepts Hotties tires & Startec wheels

Hotties tires by JConcepts were created to look and perform the part of a performance Drag Racing tire without compromising grip. The rear tire has an inspired look with a wide-body footprint so the driver can feel the straight-line forward stability while the front tire features revolved cuts so the driver can feel the straight-line stability both with very light rolling resistance. The 2.2 x 3.0″ size makes it convenient to fit a host of SCT sized wheel options including the JConcepts (#3387B) StarTec wheel design.

JConcepts 1993 Ford F-250 Stampede body shell

Another new Traxxas Stampede body shell from JConcepts is the 1993 Ford F-250. For the ninth generation, the body-shell of the 1993 F-Series was given another major upgrade and now a direct fit for the Traxxas Stampede. To further improve its aerodynamics, the forward bodywork was given a slightly lower hood line, and a rounding of the front fenders and grille. The “Blue Oval,” a trademark of all Ford pickups, makes a striking appearance centered in the grille. Stout fender flares are carved ever so carefully in to the panels while openings allow for a vast assortment of tires on the market. The F-250 single-cab look is strong and is a careful reminder of a time when passengers sat side-by-side during a typical outing. The body comes clear and includes an authentic decal sheet and easy to use window mask for the detailed hobbyist and it fits the original Stampede truck as well as the Skully, Craniac and Bigfoot kits.
