JConcepts B74.1 S2 bodyshell

JConcepts have adapted one of their most popular bodies to fit the new B74.1 from Team Associated. Dubbed the S2, the new shell rocks some familiar features but rolled together with a low-profile stance it is a performer straight out of the package and includes the S-type rear wing to help deliver results on any racing circuit. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Coming supplied with two of S-type rear wings, the S2 is available in regular and lightweight versions.

For the Hoss 4×4, Traxxas have produced these new heavy-duty steel constant velocity driveshafts. Designed specifically for monster truck applications, they are built to withstand the brutal torque and massive grip produced by the Hoss’ 540XL motor and huge Sledgehammer tires. Compared to ordinary metal shafts, Traxxas’ unique splined telescoping design delivers full-range articulation so there is never a need to limit suspension travel. Metal pin-retention rings keep the drive pins securely in place for extra security on high RPM speed runs. Also suitable for Slash 4×4, Rustler 4×4, and Stampede 4×4 models.

JConcepts 1979 Ford F-250 12.3″ wheelbase

JConcepts have brought out a version of the 1979 Ford F-250 for the Traxxas TRX-4 Sport, Element RC Enduro and Axial 12.3″ wheelbase vehicles. The iconic body style shaped and revised by Ford, specifically for the 1979 model year, features rectangular headlights and a one-piece centre grille while the heavily chiseled, square body look with enlarged, flat-top wheel wells set this body off as a favourite. The recessed body line extends down the entire side of the standard cab body and the included decal sheet details this section to appear like the chrome trim from yesteryear. The wrap-around front windshield, recessed side windows are outlined to perfection while the body lines are all in place to show off that vintage look. Perhaps the most important part of the design, the front headlights, grille, taillights, and tailgate are replicated with a decal sheet giving that all important, high-impact look. The 12.3” wheelbase gives drivers options for mounting to standard or extended length chassis while the flat bed area gives plenty of space for body mount locations or customised with bed cover look.
