JConcepts carpet/astro high-clearance wing

A new high-clearance wing for 1/10th scale buggies has been developed and manufactured by JConcepts. The HCW incorporates a short-chord design for quick rotation and a flat-base which provides more tire clearance. The durable design has chopped rear corners for rigidity plus a traditional rear trim-line for a great balance of down-force and low-drag. The side-dams of the wing feature hard radius cut-outs which allow even more tyre rear expansion and flex space. JConcepts designer Paul Wynn added dual stability fangs which also help boost the front to rear structure. The rear of the wing still maintains a high-angle to vertical rear dam to give drivers a straight-forward layout suited to high-speed circuits. The HCW is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th buggies and includes two pieces per package. Cut-lines are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options to provide racers feel control over one of the most important elements in 1/10th off-road racing.

JConcepts RC8B3.1 Silencer body shell

First developed for the 2012 IFMAR World Championships, JConcepts’ Silencer body has been a mainstay in the JC’s product line which is available for a number of difference vehicles in the market with the latest being the Team Associated RC8B3.1. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the RC8B.1 chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The Silencer stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition and increased flow around the engine heat-sink. A deep recess around the engine compartment with dual channeling out the rear provides air escape along with rear-end stability. The Silencer side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The extended runner features are placed on the rear-end of the body enhancing the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered and a more heat-shrink design over the pipe, fuel tank and electrical / linkage make up the main pods. The body is capped off with a cockpit shark fin for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness and it comes including window masks and a decal sheet.

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.

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.
