RPM Tenacity SCT/DB/T chassis skid plates

Coming from RPM is a new skid plate set for the Losi Tenacity SCT, DB and T vehicles that helps to bulletproof the popular trucks. The front and rear skid plates are designed to fit both the moulded chassis version of the Tenacity as well as the aluminium chassis option. A key breakage area of the moulded Tenacity chassis is the area located just behind the front bulkhead mounting screws. By tying together the four bulkhead mounting screws with the two screws holding the steering mounting posts in place, the plate beefs up the strength and durability of the entire front end of the chassis, helping to reduce that pesky breakage problem while adding some much needed abrasion resistance to the chassis. As for the aluminium chassis, the skid plates will not only increase the longevity of the valuable alloy main plate, they will also significantly reduce the amount of scuffs and scratches it will receive since the skid plates are the lowest impact point on the chassis. Out back, the rear skid plate adds some much needed abrasion and wear protection for both the moulded composite and aluminium chassis. Drivers will also encounter less build-up of dirt and debris between the chassis and the lower rear bumper mount since the rear skid plate sits lower than the bumper mount. Both the front and rear skid plate are moulded from high-quality nylon material for durability and they come including mounting hardware.

JConcepts L8 Night 10” wide late model body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new L8 Night 10” wide late model dirt oval body shell. The 10” wide body capable of a drop-fit on an assortment of Late Model chassis, the body styling starts up front with a heavily dropped nose pointing the vehicle in the correct direction. Super tall power rails line the front fenders allowing corner tracking stability. Offset cab positioned for high-speed left turning with recessed front, side and rear windows, and dual ribs on the roof strengthen the top of the shell. The flat rear deck incorporates indented channels promoting flow upward to the large rear spoiler and side-dams. The innovative side-panels of the body feature recessed sections, this accomplishes a multitude of design goals in the process. First, the side pockets increase the rigidness of the panel giving one of the highest aero elements of the body stability at speed and in risky manoeuvring situations. Increased resiliency also works to minimise body tucking and helps maintain a healthy distance from wheel well to tyre. Centred in the bonnet, a protection shroud for the mock air cleaner chiseled into the hood of the new body looks very “Late Model”. Included in each package, the pre-trimmed rear spoiler with hardware is one of the most trick items on the market. The slotted side-dams are ready to go and feature an adjustment section of 3 positions for the rear spoiler angle. The rear spoiler is cut, bent and ready to position on the back of the body with the included 9 pieces of light-weight hardware. As with all JConcepts body shells, the set includes clear body, window mask, instruction sheet and decal sheet.
