JConcepts 1951 Ford Panel truck MT body shell

JConcepts have introduced their all-new 1951 Ford Panel truck “Grandma” body shell for the Axial SMT10. One of the most feared vehicles in monster truck racing during the late 1980’s is now known as “Grandma”, the 1951 Ford Panel truck was mean, a little green and always known for the most amazing single qualifying passes in the history of monster truck racing. JConcepts went to work creating the 1951 truck by once again starting from scratch to redefine a generation design from the golden years. The hood of the truck makes its point with a swooping radius and raised badging while the front fenders boast a large set-back to the hood which makes that undeniable stand as a 50’s panel truck. The stand-up cab screams retro while the side windows are small but large enough for a scale driver to take a look outside. The body line along the side separates the sides to break-up the height between the fenders and top of the dome. The rear fender flare kicks-out in a vicious way to protect chassis components while giving the rear of the vehicle an almost car-like flare. The Ford truck has built-in running boards featuring a diamond-plate look which is found on the real monster while the wheel well openings are slightly enlarged to accommodate a large assortment of jumbo tires. The front grille is made as a secondary part to get the utmost detail and 3-D-design which can be painted or decorated off the vehicle for the most convenience. After trimming, the front grille can be attached into the recessed portion on the body as the finishing touch to this ultra tough and memorable piece. The body comes clear, including window masks, a detailed Ford decal sheet and it fits Axial’s SMT10 truck.

Pro-Line Positron 2.2″/3.0″ short course tyres

Coming soon from Pro-Line is the Positron 2.2″/3.0″ short course tyre. Designed from the ground up with a futuristic directional tread design, the Positron delivers true next generation performance with improved grip and corner speed on indoor clay tracks. The tread design pays homage to the Electron and ION tyre before it with the two centre pins boxed in by connected bars for a familiar Pro-Line signature look. From there the connected bars shoot off at angles that have been specifically designed to provide maximum forward bite combined with exceptional corner speed and high durability. The Positron is directional, which adds another tuning option for the racers always looking for that extra edge since it will perform differently depending on which direction it is run. The tyre is available in super soft M4 and clay-specific MC compound and including blue closed cell inserts.

Schelle B6 67mm aluminium light CVA driveshafts

Available now are Schelle Racing Innovations’ new 67mm aluminium light CVA driveshafts for the Team Associated B6 series of vehicles. They make for a “long dogbone” setup that moves through the range of suspension travel with less angle misalignment. This translates to less bind on power and more rear grip as the suspension works under load instead of locking out due to the drivetrain. The set includes new custom machined drive pins that will not shift in the softer aluminium material.
