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.

New from Vigor are these 3.0mm thick lowered shock towers for the ARC R11. The new towers are made from thinner 3mm carbon fibre, compared to the standard 3.5mm material, for increased torsional flex and so improved traction on lower bite surfaces. The front tower has been lowered by 1.0mm and and rear by 2.5mm which they claim gives the car more grip and better response. Works with the original plastic short shock ends, all parts are a direct fit.
