Pro-Line Silverado, 14RS, Suburb front & more

Starting with the new Chevy Silverado Short course truck body, perfect for Chevy race fans to deck out their Slash or SC10 chassis’. Also for the same SC cars, is this 14RS shell, which resembles more a Dakar style race truck than your traditional Short course race truck.

JConcepts BAJR Slash body shell

JConcepts BAJR Slash body shell

New for the Traxxas Slash, the BAJR as it is named, is concept inspired from the ground up to be the ultimate in desert and off-road looks and performance. The BAJR is a fresh design, starting from the front of the vehicle, the super narrow and tucked front quarter panel treatment creates one of the slickest Illuzionized looks around. The round Baja-esque profile of the cab area gives that familiar desert appearance. As the design develops toward the rear, the pronounced roof scoop, and proceeding cut-out and escape area makes this body unmistakably JConcepts. Pronounced rear fender flare treatment and dovetail rear end finishes off the most concept inspired Short Course body to date.
