Pro-Line have introduced their new Resistor 2.2” off-road buggy rear tyres as well as their Wedge Gen 3 2.2” carpet front tyres.

JConcepts 2005 Chevy 1500 MT single cab MT body shell

Coming soon from JConcepts is their new 2005 Chevy 1500 MT single cab rigid axle monster truck body shell. The 2005 Chevy Silverado is a big, all-American truck, and it looks the part, with its wide face and stylish yet slab-sided flanks. Ninety-degree angles dominate the styling providing that all-important Chevy bowtie look and the horizontal hardlines along the body panels ensures the truck’s dramatic road presence. The cat-eye headlights stare down the competition while the upper and lower grille marks its territory and provides an impactful arrival. The chiseled front-end, bumper fascia and front tire openings gives off a lot of monster madness while the aerodynamics remain for the truck to hold its own in a straight-line. A twin-port grille, full-width bumper and “power hump” hood create a strong presence, which is carried through in sculpted body sides. The grille area has not been compromised and accepts the detailed JConcepts decal sheet and includes two different grille and headlight options. The front fascia is strong and while the large tire openings swoop through, the bumper has recessed areas for side-marker lights and air inlet. The tailgate is rigid in appearance with a slight undercut that is so common on the Chevrolet trucks. The 2005 Silverado’s bed features a slight recess which painters can leave clear or detail to their specification on any build. No race truck would be complete without a bobbed rear bedside to give racers extra clearance and an unmistakable visual rake. Each package includes window mask, 2005 generation Chevy Silverado specific decal sheet and clear polycarbonate body. The body was developed for 12.5” wheelbase trucks and it will hit stores very soon.
