JConcepts have released a trio of new bodyshells for the Axial SCX24 starting with this 1970’s Chevy K10. The 1970 shell is powerful, and the square body shape is a shout-out to simpler times when a hard day’s work was a bedful of goodness.

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…
