Kyosho R4 Evo/R4s II brass rear suspension holder

Coming from Kyosho and made for the V-One R4 series of 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road cars is a rear brass suspension mount.

Made for all 13″ wheelbase monster trucks is JConcepts’ new 1988 Chevy Silverado Snoop Nose body shell. JC revives a cult favourite with a completely redesigned body for solid axle monster truck racing.

The tucked front nose provides clearance for an assortment of tyres such as the Renegades and Firestorms while the shaved front and rear bumper faces the competition like a fighting bull. The main structure of the body remains a genuine Chevrolet style used from 1988 to 1998 and deep down represents the Heartbeat of America generation. The body comes clear, including paint mask for all windows and detailed Chevy and JConcepts logo decal sheet.
