JConcepts Tekno & AE 1:8 Offroad front scoops

JConcepts has introduced new front scoops for the Tekno NB48 2.0, EB48 2.0, NT48 2.0, ET48 and Team Associated RC8T4 and RC8T4e. JConcepts kicked off The Dirt Nitro Challenge in Perris, California, with a new front scoop for the Tekno NB48 2.0 that replaces the front nose-cone with a front wing design that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The front scoop includes 2 pieces per package so a driver has enough to outfit their nitro and e-buggy with the same package. The front scoop can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit and finish. Recently, Ryan Maifield captured the 2023 TNR championship in the 1:8 nitro truck class using the front scoop on his Tekno NT48 2.0. Reports from drivers revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky small infield parts of the track surface.

JConcepts Ford Bronco & Corvair Lakewood bodies

Two more RC crawler body releases from JConcepts with the Florida based company presenting their 2021 Ford Bronco 4-door and 1961 Corvair Lakewood. The JConcepts team started in 2020 with Ford licensing to build and model an official RC version which would certainly be a highly sought-after vehicle in the market. In the case of the Ford Bronco by JConcepts, the hands of time moved very slowly to form a product worthy of such a nameplate. The multi-piece mold delivers increased detail to the front and rear-end of the Bronco to give increased street and off-road appeal. The chiseled look of the body style in the 4 door variant sizes up well to the popular 12.3” wheelbase vehicles on the market. For the 1961 Corvair Lakewood, the crew from the JConcepts Speed and Adventure Shop worked to finely detail the window treatments, hard top look, and hardened structure of the Bronco. The unique figure of the base structure is kindly shaped front to rear, the upper and lower sections tuck in slightly and with included body lines for doors and recessed windows has the item looking on-point. The rear “hatch” door is detailed with body lines, high visibility rear window and the taillights protrude to give additional definition. Both bodies fit Traxxas TRX-4 Sport, Enduro, Axial, Vanquish 12.3″ wheelbase.
