JConcepts 1963 Ford Falcon Street Eliminator body

This new 1963 Ford Falcon from JConcepts is intended for street racing and drops to the popular Team Associated DR10 and SCT conversions as well as drag racing builds currently in the market. During the design, it was important to maintain a narrow width to match track widths of popular vehicles and to slip through the air at a high rate of speed. Also, a lower trim line on the sides and front chin-spoiler minimises draft inside the body shell. The round and beady headlights create the feel for this legendary vehicle and the bar grille separates a broad front-end. The front bumper is moulded in position along with an additional and lower trim-line for racing purposes. The hood-scoop buries into the windshield providing that racy look while the cab itself looks strong with chiseled window framing and mock trim package. The rear fender torpedoes back to create the base for rear taillights and a drop-down through the rear bumper to complete some of the futuristic styling. The side panels of the body are quite recessed and with included decals, the arrow shaped body trim can be mocked into position for a more ‘Falcon-ized’ appearance.

JConcepts 2007 Cadillac Escalade MT body

As the monster truck segment evolves, options are key and with a range of sizing, wheelbase requirements, the Escalade by JConcepts fits several trucks currently on the market, including the Losi LMT. On the design side, the dramatic grille is placed front and centre with the stunning and tall front headlights to create an impact. In the world of SUV’s there is nothing more iconic than the look and stance of the Escalade. The high-slope windshield angle cuts through the air with a tightly compressed rails on top to channel air over the large cab and rear enclosure. The SUV allows a lot of space for doors and windows but also decoration space for paint and decal schemes. Following the fenders along the door lines, the Escalade is rather slim and upright and the built-in trim on the panels creates a rather accurate and durable design. The fender flares are larger in size to accommodate the monster truck sized tires like Renegades, Firestorms, Golden Years and JCT’s. The rear gate section has body lines for a large rear window and impression area for license plate blending into a wrap-around style rear bumper. Included in each body set, a clear and heavy-duty polycarbonate body, decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.

ZooRacing Wolverine 190mm TC body

Presenting Wolverine, ZooRacing’s newest high-performance touring car body on the market. Featuring lots of new features to improve the handling, making it more dynamic, more contact pressure offers more stability in corners with lots more rotation. The aerodynamic efficiency has been improved again as well. The overall length has been shortened to achieve a lesser inertia and therefore a better rotation around the vertical axis. For more steering in fast corners they’ve redesigned the front and hood and made them steeper. To more easily steer the airflow along the sides over the rear wheel arches to the rear wing, to create more downforce, they have tailored Wolverine’s sides a lot. The rear is designed very even and uniform for a low centre of gravity and to ensure an easy airflow to the wing. For a consistent flow the rear fenders have been altered to minimise turbulences at the rear of the body.

Xtreme Aerodynamics carbon fibre side plates

Designed using the most advanced CFD software, the new Xtreme Aerodynamics carbon fibre side plates claim to improve car performance on high speed corner. The 0.50mm top quality carbon fibre plate has a profile that allows the optimal flow on the upper side of the wing while cornering thus improving vertical load and making the car more predictable and precise. The external shape helps minimise the side drag effect for better handling in direction change, still maintaining the suction/pressure side well isolated in order to maximise wing performance. Suitable for 1/10 nitro touring cars.
