JConcepts F-250 monster truck body & 2.2″ Tote wheels

JConcepts have introduced the 1979 Ford F-250 monster truck body and 3-D-printed 2.2″ Tote wheels. Starting with the body shell, the meticulous replica of the original truck features its heavily chiseled, square body look with enlarged, flat-top wheel wells and a recessed body line that extends down the entire side of the standard cab body. The included decal sheet details this section to appear like the chrome trim of yesteryear. It also sports that famous wrap-around front windshield, the recessed side windows are outlined and the body lines are all in place to show off that vintage look. On top of this the front headlights, grille, taillights and tailgate are replicated with a decal sheet giving that all important, high-impact look. Included in the package are also a separate front and rear bumper which can be attached with included hardware for the ultimate show and shine ride. The 11″ wheelbase gives drivers options for mounting to standard or extended length chassis while the flat bed area gives plenty of space for body mount locations or customised with bed cover look.

Tekno EB48SL & SCT410 narrow wheel hubs

Tekno RC have introduced narrow wheel hubs for the EB48SL and SCT410 vehicles. The hubs are intended to be used on the EB48SL to narrow the track width and improve handling characteristics. Overall grip is increased when using these hubs, especially on tight indoor tracks. Used on the SCT410 they allow to use standard 1/8th buggy wheels on Tekno’s 1/10th 4WD short course truck for a wider selection of wheels and tyres. The hubs utilise TKR5580 stub axles and convert the SCT410 to use 17mm wheels without changing the overall track width from standard SCT wheels.
