The latest vehicle to receive JCs “Aero” treatment is Kyosho’s RB6 line of vehicles with the wings being available in a wide and narrow variant, allowing for different aerodynamic setups while the fine-tuning can executed by adjusting the trim-able rear gurney section. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while triple wing mount dimples are included for a bolt-on fit to the popular Kyosho series of vehicles. The wings come in two piece packages including either a pair of wide or narrow wings.

JConcepts RC8T3 Finnisher bodyshell

JConcepts have introduced the Finnisher bodyshell for the Team Associated RC8T3 and T3e. Winner of the 2016 ROAR National Championship in the hands of Spencer Rivkin, the body features a slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance. A wide front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for front suspension and the body incorporates a large center fin which begins on the roof line and finishes just past the half-way point on the bed. An extended front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight. The body incorporates pre-dimpled body post locations and it also 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.

Coming from JConcepts is the 1993 Ford F-250 monster truck bodyshell for 1/10th scale monster trucks. Resembling the highly competitive 9th generation F-250 the body captures the truck’s slightly lower hoodline, rounding the front fenders and grille. The “Blue Oval”, a trademark of all Ford pickups, makes a striking appearance centred in the grille and 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 bed itself is solid and includes slated details to look like its full-scale counterpart. Light body lines and raised sections are present throughout, including such as fuel tank latch, window weather strip outlines and hood indentations. The hard body line positioned front to back give the truck heart and the “Built Ford Tough” personality. The body comes clear and includes an authentic decal sheet and easy to use window mask for the detailed hobbyist. Also included are an attachable front visor and rear racerback with the parts parts also being available separately to equip JConcepts’ other F-250 bodies.
