JConcepts 2008 Ford F-150 SuperCab MT body

Coming from JConcepts is their new 2008 Ford F-150 SuperCap MT body shell for the growing monster truck community. The eleventh-generation model of Ford’s ultra-popular truck offers a sharper-edged styling with a significant update was the blending of the stepped driver’s window from the Super Duty trucks. JConcepts has built this truck to specifications with the chiseled grille to busty SuperCab all the way down to the bumper and nifty MT specific front chin spoiler. It looks aggressive both because of development but also because of a new generation demand. In addition and taking the gigantic tyres of these kinds of vehicles into consideration, the front fender and bed sides are left without traditional wheel and fender wells. This allows maximum versatility in a segment that has a wide range of set-ups chassis designs and most importantly, wheelbase. The customer can now choose their own wheel well arc and position to match to their specific application and length. The body includes a detailed decal sheet with grille, headlight and taillight layout. Many JConcepts logos, brands and product names have also been included to give a full-compliment of use-able artwork.

JConcepts Truth 2 UTV Slash 2WD/4×4 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made to outfit the Traxxas Slash 2WD and 4×4 short course trucks is the Truth 2 UTV body shell. The new shell draws an inspiration from Glamis, California, where peace of mind, relaxation and all-out performance pack the dunes each weekend. The T2 body was started as a clean slate design and sculpted with high-impact features, detailed front fascia and large angular wheel wells. The rigid design fits right into the line-up as the body shares styling cues from key family designs such as the Finnisher line of off-road racing bodies. The large surface roof and cage are profiled to ensure proper integration with the popular Slash and Slash 4×4 chassis. Inside clearance has been maximised for a vast assortment of inner features any customer might have installed. The body comes clear and including large footprint window masks and a detailed decal sheet.

JConcepts Ellipse off-road tyre

During this week’s ROAR Fuel Off-road Nationals JConcepts have introduced their new Ellipse low-height tread pattern. Named after the centre bar built into the tread, the Ellipse is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bar. The “web” style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The tread will be available as 1/8th and 1/10th tyre during the later stages of the 2018 season.

The base of the turnbuckle design is centered on a beefy 5mm square titanium, for the camber and steering links, which gradually tapers down into a thread base design which accepts the rod ends featured in the kit. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment area and the finned cuts that rotate about the centre. Included is also a 3mm Fin titanium steering drag link for a complete look and finish to outfit the kit.

JConcepts 6.1 motor plate & rear ballstud mount

JConcepts have introduced two new option parts for Team Associated’s 6.1 version off-road kits. First up is a 3-gear laydown/layback motor plate that incorporates a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate light-weight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look featuring the natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. The motor plate is compatible with the Team Associated B6.1 spur gear guard and remains light of weight. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim. The plate is usable with the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1 and SC6.1.
