PSM TA07 carbon fibre chassis conversion kit

PSM from Germany have introduced their new carbon fibre chassis conversion kit for the Tamiya TA07 touring car. The carbon fibre chassis kit was designed to improve the TA07’s overall performance, adding a more precise handling and stiffer torsional flex for faster cornering. It is a complete new performance experience compared to the kit included plastic chassis design. Designed to work great on low to medium grip tracks, this conversion can also be used indoors and be upgraded with PSM’s forthcoming aluminium chassis. The kit includes the 2.25mm main chassis, upper deck, front and rear support braces, adjustable battery braces as well as all necessary hardware and it is recommended for use with the TA07 R version, but will work with the Pro version as well.

JConcepts 2014 Chevy 1500 MT single cab body

Coming from JConcepts is their new 2014 Chevy 1500 MT single cab monster truck body shell. Designed for 12” to 12.5” trucks the shell offers the unmistakable Chevy single cab design with the exterior design blends a strong and study look while refining the details reserved for modern aesthetics. The muscle was chiseled into the tyre openings while the aerodynamics remain for the truck to hold its own in a straight-line. A twin-port grille, full-width bumper and dual power hump hood create a strong presence, which is carried through in sculpted body sides and fender flares. The grille area has not been compromised and accepts the detailed JConcepts decal sheet and includes two different grille and headlight options. The front fascia is strong and while the large tire openings swoop through, the bumper has recessed areas for side-marker lights and air inlet. The tailgate is rigid in appearance with a slight undercut that is so common on the Chevrolet trucks. The 2014 Silverado’s bed features a slight recess which painters can leave clear or detail to their specification on any build. No race truck would be complete without a bobbed rear bedside to give racers extra clearance and an unmistakable visual rake. Each package includes window mask, new 2014 generation Chevy Silverado specific decal sheet and clear polycarbonate body.

The size accommodates the trend of utilizing SCT trucks as drag racing platforms. The end result has a low-slung appearance, tight wheel well openings, hood-scoop, bobbed tail and an extended front fascia.
