Speed is everything; it’s the greatest gift of R/C and particularly with the Traxxas Slash 4×4.
An extremely popular off-road truck, the Slash 4×4, has all the components of an absolute beast of an on-road vehicle. JConcepts own design, the Scalpel, and front bumper conversion, convert the Slash 4×4 into an insane speed-run machine. Take on your personal salt-flats, drag strip or closed circuit course with power, speed, agility and style with JConcepts.
The 1972 Chevy C10 truck body by JConcepts is a perfect complement to the Scalpel Speed-Run conversion kit for the Slash 4×4. Officially licensed, the C10 boasts a wide-body stance which allows it to tame high-speeds while showing off that all important retro look from the 1970’s. Large front chin-spoiler with maximum impact grill treatment leaves the competition green with envy.
Large fenders allow plenty of clearance for the 2.8” G-Locs tires and the C10 roof-line stands firm. A shallow bed area gives the truck-like appearance while maintaining that all inclusive speed-line structure. Finishing off the body is clean and smooth with the inclusion of grill, headlight, taillight and miscellaneous logos that make the C10 look the part. Throw it back in time, grab a Chevy C10 for your Scalpel conversion kit and blast into the future.

· Officially licensed by GM to JConcepts Inc.
· Original JConcepts Scalpel design and concept

Making the conversion:
Converting the Slash 4×4 to the Scalpel speed-run vehicle requires body, bumper conversion and tires and wheels are highly recommended. The assembly is simple and takes only minutes to complete. First, remove stock bumper assembly and replace with the JConcepts conversion kit speed-run accessories and foam bumper. For the C10, use the standard kit front body mounts and the included low profile body mounts on the rear. Make small changes to suspension set-up to limit down and up travel per instructions. Detail, paint and trim body. Prep, mount and glue JConcepts 2.8” G-Locs tires onto 2.8” Rulux wheels and secure to the vehicle. Locate, mark and ream the body mount locations and drop body into place. Hit your favorite closed circuit for the wildest speed-runs imaginable.

I want to get this work for my 2wd slash. If I put in shock stopper so
They can extended all the way with a LCG chassis, can I get it to work?
The way the 2wd front suspension works is that it kicks back when compressed which will shorten the wheelbase. The body will not line up properly on a 2wd set at the correct height. This body will only work properly with a Slash 4×4 or similar sized 4wd Short Course.
Will it fix my T maxx Classic
Not likely, this is designed to be a low ride body based around the Electric Slash 4×4.
Will this fit my bandit
No, it’s made for 4wd SCT trucks, specifically for the Slash 4×4 but will fit similar sized 4×4 SCT tricks. The Bandit would be too narrow and the wheelbase would be different.
will it fit my 1/10 losi
It’s designed for the Slash 4×4 but there have been other vehicles used with this body. If it’s the 4wd version it may fit, we have not tried the 2wd Losi.
is it made specifically for the 1/10 scale Slash or is it also available for the 1/16 “mini” 4×4 Slash?
This body is a direct fit for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 or the 1/10 Rally with some modifications to body posts. We do not make a version for 1/16 scale “mini”
Will this body fit my 2wd slash?
It is designed for the Slash 4×4. The issue with the Slash 2wd is the front suspension kicks back. In order for you to get the proper lowered stance, the front wheels will be back a bit and will not line up with the wheels wells.
