JConcepts 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo Street Stock body

Coming from JConcepts is their new 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo street stock body shell. The American produced, sinister, wedged shaped vehicle is now released to the RC enthusiast to fit the latest Street Stock converted vehicles on the market. The crew in the JConcepts R&D department tackled one of its finest projects to date and together with Chevrolet licensing has produced the iconic Monte Carlo. The body shell construction is a shape fit for the RC scene. The vehicles which are wide-bodied, flat paneled and have a low-roof line always track well down the racetrack. A low front chin, bumper construction and pocketed headlights immediately look like punishment is headed your way. The long, swooping, and flat quarter-panels are a staple of this generation vehicle and it certainly cuts like a knife on the oval scene. The cab itself is one of the identifiable features of the Monte Carlo and its balanced positioning and sharp lines makes competitors retreat in fear. A small rear spoiler is built into the back of the model and can be trimmed and added in conditions that require more rear traction. Included in each body set, a 1987 Buick Grand National decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows. As always, each body set is backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage. The Monte Carlo measures a 10.75” wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.00” front and rear. The body is built for a 2WD buggy conversion of any manufacturer and the body can be added to resemble the original 1:1 counterpart.

PSM TA07 FWD conversion kit

PSM from Germany have released a FWD conversion kit for the Tamiya TA07 touring car. The kit will transform the TA07 4WD vehicle into a high performance, full carbon fibre front-wheel drive chassis. It was developed to provide precise and agile handling characteristics and features PSM’s new and unique O-ring style battery mount that allows for quick and easy battery access along with options for battery position adjustments. Also new with this conversion kit is a unique carbon fibre motor mount, featuring a brass PSM emblem. Considering that FWD classes usually race motors with 17.5T and upwards, head dispersion is not an issue and the carbon fibre motor mount brings in low weight and high stiffness. The conversion kit was designed for low profile servos and shorty-style batteries only and it includes 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis and upper deck parts, aluminium steering posts, carbon fibre starting braces, carbon fibre battery braces, a carbon fibre motor mount, a Bando S3M drive belt, as well as mounting hardware.
