Hudy adjustable droop gauge 80mm to 140mm

Coming from Hudy is their new 80mm to 140mm adjustable droop gauge for 1/8th and 1/10th scale off-road kits. Of a high-quality aluminium construction the droop gauge allows to check and adjust suspension down travel in a range of 80mm to 140mm and thanks to an adjustable slider, it is more precise than ever before. Using the tool is pretty straight forward. The gauge will be attached to the upper shock mounting nut and the ruler on the gauge allows to measure the distance to the centre of the lower shock mounting screw, indicating overall shock length and down travel. The tool is machined from high-quality aluminium, it comes black anodised for wear and looks and white laser-engraved markings help with easy recognition of the settings. The gauge is usable with 1/8th off-road buggies as well as 1/10th scale off-road buggies and trucks.

JConcepts 1993 Ford F-250 monster truck body

JConcepts have introduced their new 1993 Ford F-250 monster truck body with fastback and visor for rigid axle monster trucks. During the mid-1990’s the full-scale monster truck racing scene was at its all-time most competitive. Never before had so many factory backed teams competed for the coveted racing championships during that time period. The Ford bodies were always successful, however, never had one style been so dominant. The 1993 Ford F-250 body was the standard and the top of the line in terms of looks, popularity and performance back during this hey-day of monster truck racing. Never has this body style been available for 1/10th scale Monster Truck racing, that is until JConcepts pulled the trigger. For the ninth generation, the body-shell of the 1993 F-Series was given another major upgrade. To further improve its aerodynamics, the forward bodywork was given a slightly lower hood line, rounding the front fenders and grille. The “Blue Oval,” a trademark of all Ford pickups, makes a striking appearance centered in the grille. Stout fender flares are carved ever so carefully into the panels while openings allow for a vast assortment of tires on the market. The F-250 single-cab look is strong and is a careful reminder of a time when passengers sat side-by-side during a typical outing. The body fits a variety of racing RC monster trucks including the Tamiya Clod Buster, it comes clear and includes an authentic decal sheet and easy to use window mask for the detailed hobbyist.
