JConcepts black 1/8th & 1/10th tyre balancer

JConcepts’ foldable tyre balancer for 1/8th and 1/10th tyres is now also available in a black variant. The collapsible design rests in a lay-down configuration but pivots to a 90 degree stance and locks when in usable condition. The centre point of any balancer are the bearings, the free spinning action rests inside the hub design. The interchangeable thumb nuts for 1/10th and 1/8th wheel versatility are located on the main axle which can be moved from its home base position to its critical balancing position with ease. The upright is built in aluminium material, anodised blue, etched with instructions and chamfered for that extra lustrous look. The base of the item is built to protect, position and maintain a small footprint at all times. The base has four stand-off legs to hold a steady structure while a thumb screw secures the upright in either the up or down position. The all-aluminium and steel design comes set in a storage box for protection and travel convenience.

JConcepts 1984 Ford F-250 MT body shell

JConcepts have introduced the new 1984 Ford F-250 MT body shell for 1/10th solid axle monster trucks. Considered to be the last of the “classic” Ford trucks, the 1984 model screams 80’s style and features a Ford oval placed in the center of the grille. The square body trucks from this generation are just plain mean and with the single cab design, long bed and flat body panels, tradition was an important part to the JConcepts design team. The Ford bloodline runs deep with the hard body lines running horizontally top and bottom which helps to create a rigid panel. The front windshield is large and in charge and offers the scale driver a clear view of the road ahead. The JConcepts manufactured body measures 7.25”/184mm width and built for a 13”/330mm wheelbase truck. The body is carved with traditional rectangle arched wheel wells but can be trimmed larger for jumbo tires such as the Renegades and Firestorms, found on the typical RC monster truck. The set includes a clear body shell, paint mask for all windows and detailed Ford and JConcepts logo decal sheet.

JConcepts F2 22 4.0 body shell

JConcepts have introduced the F2 body shell for the TLR 22 4.0 2WD buggy. 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. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes the performance and visible bias which help steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralise the at-speed handling and the rear of the pods have a dual step, scoop treatment which give a first in class look to the F2 body. The rear of the cab has the Finnisher step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also several louver options off the rear. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest Aero S-type rear wings to round out the package.

JConcepts EB410 lower front wing & nose cone

Following the introduction of the new lower front wing and nose cone set for the Team Associated B64 buggy, JConcepts now also have a variant for Tekno RC’s EB410 wheeler available. The lower wing is an option to the tower mounted front wing that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The package includes the lower front wing and the nose cone on the same mould. The nose cone is similar to what would be found on a 1/8th off-road buggy. The lower front wing can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit and finish. Recently, Ryan Maifield captured the 2017 IFMAR World Championship in the 4WD class using this item. Reports from the pit area revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky section of the difficult Xiamen built track surface.

JConcepts re-release the T4.3 Finnisher body

JConcepts is bringing back the Finnisher style stadium truck body shell for the T4.3 Qualifier Series vehicle by Team Associated. The body has been updated to include pre-dimpled locations for the body mounts and the the slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the 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. The body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet and it fits the T4.3 and T4.1 trucks but, from what is understood, not the T4.2 due to the truck’s different front suspension setup.

JConcepts YZ-2 DTM Punisher 2 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Yokomo YZ-2 DTM is the Punisher 2 body shell. The lid takes design elements of both the S2 and F2 bodies and sports a raised nose/hood section, taller cab and rear end force features. The sidepods are once again “JC chamfered” to provide that legendary look and the secondary window screams JConcepts styling. The cab drops off quickly and runs deep toward the rear giving plenty of drift to the newly added winglets. The tall, rear fin stabiliser acts as a vane to keep the buggy tracking in the proper direction while also maintaining a rigid roof-line even with lightweight materials. The package is available as standard or lightweight variant, arrives complete with two Aero S-type wings as used by Ryan Maifield to claim the 2017 IFMAR World Championship.
