Hard to believe that Summer has come to an end and Fall is just around the corner. In case you missed what was new the past three months we have you covered in this Summer Edition of the JConcepts Product Rewind!
S15 Clear Body For The Tekno ET410.2
The first official release of Summer was this S15 clear body for the Tekno RC ET410.2. Following the trend of the larger 1/8 off-road truggies, this smaller body version is also designed to allow for a front scoop located in front of the front shock tower.
It also features a forward cab bias with a single window look, mid sidepod winglets, and a center stabilizing fin extruding from the rear of the cab for more stability in forward tracking ability.
The body is wrapped in a protective film so you can apply your custom paint scheme to the underside, and we also include window masks and a decal sheet to finish off the look.
F2 Clear Body For The Tekno ET410.2
We followed that up with another body release for Tekno’s mini truggy. The new F2 clear body is also a direct fit for the ET410.2, and it also includes a front scoop that rests in front of the front shock tower for additional front-end downforce and enhanced steering characteristics.
The V-shape off the back of the cab blends to recessed bed area for a low-slung base shape, and a strategically placed spoiler outlet in the bed transitions to the mounting area.
This body also comes with an overspray film, window masks and a decal sheet to finalize the look of your vehicle.
Reflex & Stalkers 1/8 Buggy Tires Now Available In Aqua (A1) Compound
Our popular Reflex and Stalkers 1/8 off-road buggy tires are now available in our medium, long wear/dry groove Aqua (A1) compound.
The Reflex tire design includes features like stacked tread for equal wearing, and a 83mm mounting bead size for 1/8 wheel compatibility. Its carefully shaped carcass will aid you with forward traction, and it also uses square angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire.
The Stalkers use an enlarged square pin which has a slight angle on each side. The angle creates some separation at the top which gives some bite in wet conditions providing some versatility to the design of the Stalkers. When the pins meet the base of the tire, the spacing tightens considerably giving a driver a more stable footing. The stacked row configuration and simple connected pins offer massive forward acceleration too.
Radial NMB Bearing Set For The B6.4, B6.4D, T6.4 & SC6.4
We now offer a new Radial NMB Bearing Set for the Team Associated B6.4/B6.4D, T6.4 and SC6.4 vehicle lineup. These bearings are crafted from stainless steel materials with precise tolerances for all of these vehicles. These bearings are built to last with NMB bearing quality, and each set also includes those small steering rack bearings that a lot of other bearing sets don’t offer.
RM2 Radial NMB Bearing Set For The Tekno SCT410SL, EB410.2 & ET410.2
Then we released another new option under the RM2 product line for Tekno 1/10 vehicles. The new RM2 Radial NMB Bearing Set for the Tekno SCT410SL, EB410.2 & ET410.2 is a direct fit for all of these vehicles. These are constructed using NMB quality so they are durable enough to stand-up to the rigorous demands of national and world class racing events. 26 quality pieces are included in each set, and they are crafted from stainless steel material with precise tolerances.
Wide Fuzz Bite & Pin Swag Front 2WD Buggy Tires
We followed that up with the announcement of wider versions of our Fuzz Bite and Pin Swag front 2WD off-road buggy carpet tires. These wider tires will allow a racer to use their standard width 2.2″ front wheels since the previous iteration required a special narrow front wheel instead. Even though these tires are wider now, they still retain their winning qualities.
The Fuzz Bite design uses a low profile carcass layout that was carried over from the popular Twin Pin design. This lower profile will help to gain a more rapid transition at high speeds and reduce side-wall deflections and rolls. This tread pattern features a reverse “water tower” design which plants the larger base at the bottom and narrows at the top for precision.
The Pin Swag tire uses a low profile carcass layout with ultra-light weight scalloped tire beads to reduce the rotational weight. The unique tread pattern of this tire incorporates a split down the center to give a little individual control to contort to surfaces. In between, a stagger section with angular front is placed just behind a vertical rib to complete the design.
P2 Clear Body For The TLR 22X-4 & Team Associated B74.2
Our next release were P2 clear bodies for the TLR 22X-4 and Team Associated B74.2 1/10 4WD electric off-road buggies.
Starting with the 22X-4, this new body shell is offered in both a standard and lightweight version. Both variations feature a raised nose with a taller cab and a rear stabilizer fin.
Also included are two carpet/turf rear wings, a decal sheet, window masks and an overspray film for your custom paint scheme.
The P2 body for the Team Associated B74.2 also comes clear and is available in our standard weight, or an optional lightweight version. Both bodies also come with an overspray film, window masks, a decal sheet and two rear wings.
The design of the body includes features like a drop-in cab with rear-end winglets, a tall, rear fin stabilizer for improved tracking performance, a raised front nose/hood area and a taller cab.
Speed Shop Shirt Now Available With Red Lettering
Our popular Speed Shop Shirt is now available in a new color option! This shirt has been updated for 2023 to include red lettering on the stealth black shirt which is made from 100% cotton. This shirt is available in multiple sizes as we continue to offer apparel for optimum performance on and off the track.
The Hold 1.0″ Crawling/Scale Tires
We followed that up with some new tire options for the mini rock crawling/trail RC scene. The Hold is available in our Super Soft, Green compound and has an outer diameter of 63mm. That makes it compatible with 1.0″ rims that come with the SCX24. The tire tread pattern has large horizontal traction bars that put a “Hold” on a variety of surfaces like dirt, asphalt, grass, mud, rock and clay.
Horizontal traction bars are back cut and step down to the carcass and wrap around the sidewall in a forward progressing pattern. On top of the carcass itself, more surface removal is shown to bring out intensity, and these are sold in pairs.
Fling Kings 1.0″ Crawling/Scale Tires
Our popular Fling Kings are now also available for mini rock crawlers or scale vehicles. These tires use an industry standard 1.0” bead mounting diameter and are 20mm wide with a 63mm outer diameter which make them perfect for 1/24 scale wheels. The tire itself features a V-style tread pattern that replicates the “hand-cutting” technique used on the full scale version.
On the sidewall you can find retro style JConcepts lettering, a Fling King logo and crown and the part number itself for easy identification. These also use our Super Soft, Green compound, include soft, open cell inserts and two tires are included in each bag.
Ruptures 1.0″ Crawling/Scale Tires
Next up were the Ruptures 1.0″ tires for mini crawlers and scale trucks. These are also available in our Super Soft, Green compound, include soft, open cell inserts and sold in pairs. The Ruptures are compatible with various 1/24 wheels on the market today thanks to its 63mm outer diameter.
The aggressive tread pattern features large and mini “island” directional treads, horizontal attack bars and a hefty sidewall bar support and radial ribs.
Scorpios 1.0″ Crawling/Scale Tires
The Scorpios feature a tread pattern with a tread block that has finely cut edges with a healthy radius where the block meets the tire body. Each block features slight cuts on the top to open it up and create some sling space.
The outer most lug extends down the sidewall to stiffen the upper carcass and increase the pinch grip. These are sold in pairs, stuffed with our soft, open cell inserts and use our Super Soft, Green compound.
Metal Car Stand Now Available In Yellow & Gray
Our popular Metal Car Stand is now available in new Yellow or Gray color options. Both versions are formed from all-aluminum materials.
The top deck has holes pre-cut out so you use them to service your shocks. Laser etched logos have been added to each side for brand authenticity, and a matching foam sheet with pre-cut holes is also included so you can apply it to the top deck to help keep your car in place when wrenching on it.
Also included are foam pads for the legs to help lock it into place on your pit table.
JCI Tuck 1989 Ford F-150 Clear Cab
Our next release was our JCI Tuck 1989 Ford Motor clear cab body. This body has a 7.25” center width and was designed to fit a vehicle with a 12.3″ wheelbase.
Not only does this body come clear, but it is already trimmed out for you so you can mount it up to run on your vehicle even faster.
It also comes with an overspray film and window masks so you can finish the look with the paint scheme of your choice, plus we include a detailed decal sheet too.
S15 Clear Body For The Tekno ET48 2.0
Our popular S15 body design is now available for Tekno truggy drivers. The S15 clear body is designed to fit the Tekno ET48 2.0, and each package comes with both a nose cone and front scoop.
A driver can choose which item to install in front of the front shock tower as a tuning aid since the front scoop has shown to produce additional front-end downforce and enhanced steering characteristics.
A “shark-fin” has been added to the cockpit for added stability, and the bed of the body is a lowered area which features a deep draw with surrounding geometry to strengthen the rear of the section. The body also comes with a protective film, window masks and a decal sheet.
2023 Monster Truck Team T-Shirt
Our team t-shirt has been updated for 2023 for monster truck enthusiasts. An updated logo features a Regulator chassis monster truck with brushed blue “scratch graphics” just behind it on both the front and back.
The front image also incorporates a fresh shield logo while the back includes a QR code that can be scanned to find out what monster truck items are new from JC.
Keeping organized is a key component of any driver’s race program, and JConcepts now offers an easy way to keep track of your 1/10 off and on-road springs in our new Spring Box. This injection molded box is black in color and flips open to reveal two foam line layers.
Each layer holds 9 spring pairs and there are two extra compartments on each layer for miscellaneous items like spring cups and collars.
Also included is a decal sheet that can be applied to the bottom side of the lid so you can write down notes, spring rates, or anything else you need to help you spring to action at the track.
We followed that up with another cab only body for scale enthusiasts. The JCI Power Master cab comes clear and is already pre-trimmed body with protective film applied to it.
It also includes window masks so you can apply your favorite paint scheme, and then finish the look with the included decal sheet. This cab is designed for vehicles with a 12.3″ wheelbase which makes it perfect for popular vehicles offered from Traxxas, Element, Axial and Vanquish.
This body has a retro look to it, and it has many features like a V-shaped nose for tire and steering clearance, a round cab for those eventual rollovers and small fender flares for clearance and stability.
1987 Ford F-250 BIGFOOT Street Cruiser Clear Body
For mini scale enthusiasts this next body is just for you. Our new 1987 Ford F-250 BIGFOOT Street Cruiser body is officially licensed by Ford and comes clear.
This body is perfect for smaller 1/24 scale trucks like the Axial SCX24 or any other ride that uses a 132mm wheelbase.
It also includes an overspray film, window masks and three different decal sheets. One decal sheet includes headlights, taillights, a grille and various Ford and JConcepts logos. Another sheet includes Street Cruiser decorative stripe layout decals. The third sheet is comprised of BIGFOOT logo decals.
This body can also incorporate many aftermarket accessories for the 1/24 vehicles like the rollbar and light-bar shown in the images. Those are not included with this body, but are available for purchase from Scale Rat directly.
Our newest scaler tire is sure to be hit with rock crawling fans. The Megalithic 1.9″ tire has an outside diameter of 4.75″ and is available in our Green compound. It uses an unique tread design that features a repeated bat, club and pyramid pattern, plus a retro styled JConcepts logo has been added to the sidewall as well.
The sidewalls also include heavy traction bar placement, removed sections to add pitch and flex grip characteristics, as well as several “pencil push” plots that array the sidewalls with heavy carved and shaved sections in each rotation.
These are sold in pairs and they also include our firm open cell inserts.
Pre-Mounted Reflex & Stalkers 1/8 Off-Road Buggy Tires
JConcepts hits the easy button once again with these next few releases. Our popular Reflex and Stalkers 1/8 buggy tires are now available in a pre-mounted configuration in our Green compound for your convenience. Each one has been glued to our 1/8 Mono wheels and you can choose between yellow or white wheel color options.
The Reflex includes features like stacked tread for equal wearing, and a 83mm mounting bead size for 1/8 wheel compatibility. Its carefully shaped carcass will aid you with forward traction, and it also uses square angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire.
Stalkers use an enlarged square pin which has a slight angle on each side. The angle creates some separation at the top which gives some bite in wet conditions providing some versatility to its design.
When the pins meet the base of the tire, the spacing tightens considerably giving a driver a more stable footing. The stacked row configuration and simple connected pins offer massive forward acceleration too.
Pre-Mounted Fuzz Bite Stadium Truck Tires
Our final release of the Summer were our pre-mounted Fuzz Bite Stadium Truck Tires for carpet racers. These tires use our proven Pink compound and are already glued to our winning Mono wheels. You can choose to pick them up in either yellow or white color options and both versions also are stuffed with our plush open cell inserts.
The Fuzz Bite uses the same familiar features of their buggy counterparts like a reverse “water tower” pin shape, directional sidewall lugging and ultra lightweight scalloped tire beads.
