JConcepts 1979 Ford F-250 SuperCap MT body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new 1979 Ford F-250 SuperCap body shell for 1/10th scale solid axle monster trucks. The iconic body style shaped and revised by Ford, specifically for the 1979 model year, features rectangular headlights and a one-piece centre grille and JConcepts has built a ground-up design which embodies everything that is special about this piece of truck history. To start this project, JConcepts meticulously set their sights on the 1:1 vehicle replicating the finest details of the 1979. The heavily chiselled, square body look with enlarged, flat-top wheel wells set this body off as a favourite. The recessed body line extends down the entire side of the standard cab body and the included decal sheet details this section to appear like the chrome trim of yesteryear. The wrap-around front windshield, recessed side windows are outlined to perfection while the body lines are all in place to show off that vintage look. Perhaps the most important part of the design, the front headlights, grille, taillights and tailgate are replicated with a decal sheet giving that all important, high-impact look. Included in the package, JConcepts includes a separate front and rear bumper which can be attached for the ultimate show and shine ride. The 12.75″ wheelbase gives drivers options for mounting to an extended length chassis while the flat bed area gives plenty of space for body mount locations or customised with bed cover look.

JConcepts 1988 Chevy Silverado MT body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the 1988 Chevy Silverado monster truck body shell. The 1988 styling is very clean, updated, refined and did not display the boxy looks from the early 80’s. The fleetside design is spot-on featuring slight curvature to the main shape, new headlights, grille treatment and form-fitting wheel wells. The slight flare to the tyre openings give just a little wrinkle to the bed-sides and front fenders to accommodate different sized tyres for maximum versatility. The JConcepts body includes a decal sheet that makes detailing out the headlights, taillights and grille a breeze while window mask allows the user to quickly get the body into paint. Also included is a Racerback which fits the ’88 perfectly to recreate trucks all the way into the early 1990’s. The standard cab body has an 11″ wheelbase and fits retro and race monster trucks as a drop-on giving the all important clearance and functionality.

JConcepts Aero S-Type 1/10th buggy rear wing

JConcepts have introduced the next generation of 1/10th buggy rear wings with the new Aero S-Type. It includes options not yet seen before on a 1/10th off-road rear wing. An extended rear gurney lip makes tuning that much better for more grip on the loose surfaces while running the latest generation in off-road. The base of the wing design is built on the popular Aero wing but with new additions which make the wing more durable and more adjustable. The S-Type wing is a direct bolt-on piece for the Team Associated B6/B6D and B64/B64D. The wing features a long chord construction with revised section to incorporate some reinforced ribbing in the vertical plane below the over-hanging gurney. Cut-lines and dimpled locations are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options. The dimples in the rear can be reamed to expose larger holes which serve as pass-through for circulating air and helps the vehicle maintain its position during long flight jumps.
