JConcepts Stampede MT Hunter body

The team at JConcepts have been busy with the release of their latest body, the Hunter for Traxxas Stempede 1:10 Monster Truck.  One of the most popular vehicles of all-time in RC, the Stempede gets a retro vibe body shell as the Hunter body throws down a huge retro vibe straight out of the early 1990’s with this classic lid.  A consistent body panel profile runs front to back on the Hunter body with tightly shaped wheel well flares.  The extra cab look has become synonymous with JConcepts bodies on the trucks and buggies and carried over here to a pick-up truck shell.  The Hunter has a louvered rear bed area and an additional rear cab spoiler molded right into the body itself.  A detailed front-end includes the grille, headlights, lower grille area and fog lights.  With the help of included decal sheet, the look fit and finish of the front-end can be completed to look the part of a great looking truck.  In the rear, taillights are molded into the body while the decals cover the area after finalised paint to make a great looking scale appearance.

New from JConcepts is this upgrade 17mm hex axle kit for the Losi LMT Monster Truck.  Through extensive track time with team racers, JConcepts has designed a new heavy-duty item for a vehicle that makes it’s living in the air and in hardcore bash sessions.  The new item allows a user to move away from the standard 6mm axle and wheel nut combination and beef up to a 12mm hex axle which adds great strength but also an easier to use design featuring a 17mm hex wheel nut.  The set comes complete with four hex axle stubs, four 17mm serrated wheel nuts with 4mm screw pins to secure the assembly.  The all-aluminium components are precision machined, black anodised and designed to be direct replacement for the Losi LMT.  For an easy-to-use wrench, JConcepts offers separately an injection molded 17mm long-snout wrench for a long reach into deep offset wheels like JConcepts #3414 developed for the Losi LMT.
