JConcepts Finish Line radio bag

JConcepts has released its own Finish Line radio bag to provide protection for one of the single most expensive purchases in RC.  In many instances, radios are abused during racing conditions and not properly stored when they are inactive.  Storage choices for radios are quite slim and once priced and evaluated, some racers prefer not to have them simply because they do not travel very well in their luggage or typical race gear.  The new Finish Line radio carrier with outer woven fabric gives it a very luxurious look at first glance, however, the handy new item is designed with travel, cushion, ease of use and protection in mind.  The lightweight design consists of a woven fabric outer bag which has a convenient and easy access zipper closure and inside has a Velcro closure pouch for additional easy access items.  Inside, a high-density, form fitted foam, pre-cut to specific models cushions all sides of your pricey possession.  The bag can be ordered for the Futaba T10PX, Futaba T4PM or Sanwa MX6.

JConcepts 1997 Ford F-150 MT body

In their latest Monster Truck body release, JConcepts has added the 1997 Ford F-150 to its extensive range.  On the RC scene, very few options exist to bring 1997 to the latest builds and chassis on the market, until now.  JConcepts together with Ford licensing has produced the 10th generation truck to fill the void in the market, and above all, allow racers to consistently build, detail, and tune their RC vehicles into their personal favourites.  The new shell starts with a 13” wheelbase design which aligns with the latest LMT, and long wheelbase RC monster trucks on the market. In today’s racing, the 13” wheelbase remains one of the most popular and the 1997 drops down on the chassis with great proportions.  A single cab design was built to emulate the most famous 1:1 truck featuring the gen 10 softer body lines, rounded front-end and extended front chin style bumper.  Large wheel wells are incorporated into this body to clear the large monster truck tires on the market while still providing the stock Ford look.  The side windows are large, recessed and help the product sit with a racing stance while maximum scale visibility can be seen out of the front windshield.
