JConcepts T5M Hi-Flow truck bodyshell

Coming soon from JConcepts is the Hi-Flow bodyshell for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck. The all-new race body is inspired by the looks of a class leading pick-up, loaded with performance features and it sports a low-profile design and beefy fenders. Extruded front and rear fender flares offer maximum tyre clearance and the slight hood-scoop raised portion helps bulk up the front-end and provides clearance for the T5M geometry. The rear bed has built-in clearance for the massive big bore shocks and tower to help maintain that sleek appearance. The body includes a spoiler on the back of the body mould which can be trimmed and detailed to drop right on to the rear and secured with the two included JConcepts button head screws. As an added performance benefit, the body offers several “trim-zone” areas on the rear of the bed which can be removed to help reduce the slight parachute affect brought on by open wheel trucks. As usual the body comes clear, including window masks and a decal sheet.
