Team Associated have now released an electric version of their RC8.2 FT kit – the RC8.2E Factory Team. It includes a ton of shiny aluminum bling, including Big Bore hard-anodized threaded shocks with Ti-Ni coated shafts, 7075 driveshafts, 7075 steering knuckles, suspension mounts and a cool sliding motor mount for easy adjustment. To top it all off, a slick JConcepts Punisher [...]
JConcepts have released an updated version of their Punisher body to accommodate for the slightly longer chassis of the RC8.2 FT. It features the sexy distinctive forward cab design which not only provides extra downforce, but keeps your engine cooler too! Check out the JConcepts website for full details!
We just heard from JConcepts they now have the Illuzion B4.1 Finnisher Worlds Body. It fits the Associated B4.1 and B4 models with the +8mm extended chassis. It has a increased windshield to help with air flow in the jumps and the spaces between the body and chassis have been tightened up to help keep the air from getting all up [...]
In the beginning of May, Brian posted his review on the Traxxas Stampede 4×4. We actually have a couple of these trucks floating around the office and they really are a great vehicle. However, Brian made mention of a major design flaw (aesthetics wise) in his review that seems to be a common theme; the way the body [...]
From JConcepts we have another Punisher body… Wait… That doesn’t look right… Could it be? Has JConcepts released a body that ISN”T a Punisher cab forward body?! They have! They have released a body that isn’t a Punisher body! Well, I do believe it’s time for a celebration. Maybe that’s overstating it a bit. But anywho, this new body from [...]
JConcepts has a new 1/8 scale truggy tire based on the Subculture tread, their multi-tiered design that a lot of people swear by. The interesting thing about this new tire isn’t the tread though, it’s the tire bead, or rather the lack of one. JConcepts has taken the bead and thrown it out the window, instead opting for a sort [...]
One of these days the world is going to run out of 1/8 scale buggy platforms, and when that day comes, what is JConcepts going to do? Until then, they’re going to make sure that every buggy has a Punisher body available for it. This new release is for Mugen’s high-end brushless MBX-6 ECO buggy. Like all the other versions [...]
Dear Cubby, Who makes the body lowering kit for the Traxxas Stampede 4×4 and where can I buy one? Your truly, Billy D. Cubby– Funny you should ask that question the same week that Brian posted his Pede 4×4 review. I trust you are loving your truck except for its overly lifted body. If it came murdered out in flat black paint you’d [...]
It’s been about a month so that means it’s time for the next installment of a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor body announcement. This edition is brought to you by JConcepts. The new version of their Raptor is made for all of the versions of Traxxas’ Rustler. Just like all the others, this one is officially licensed and includes all the [...]
The Truth is still out there, and now there’s a better version of it. JConcepts‘ new Truth V2 may share it’s name with the first Truth body, but that’s where the similarities end as the V2 is a completely new design. Though it does take a few design cues from the original, such as the roof scoop, fan treatment, and [...]
Hello rc community, yet another week blown right by us. Monster Supercross update? Well….. Bel-Ray/Shift rider Chad Reed left Toronto Saturday night with the points lead in the Supercross class. Reed had a horrible 2010, and not many thought he’d even be in the hunt this year, but he’s proving otherwise. Reed finished second in Toronto, vaulting him into the [...]
Have a new Stampede 4×4? Tired of it getting loaded down with crap? Sure you are. JConcepts may have a solution with their new Stampede 4×4 over-tray. The over-tray is designed to have a tight fit around the entire chassis, helping to keep all the dirt and debris out. It’s formed out of clear polycarbonate, ready to be painted to [...]
Here’s another wheel for the basher crowd from the JConcepts gang. The Rulux wheel is 2.2″ with a 12mm hex drive. The important aspect of this new wheel is that it’s designed to give the 1/16 E-Revo a wider stance, making it more stable and a better performer. The stylish design will also add to the looks of your mini [...]
JConcepts has a hot looking new wheel style for a few different Traxxas vehicles. The Tense is a one piece wheel with a cool little added detail, wheel caps. The caps come in two styles, open and closed, with the closed featuring JConcepts’ logo machined on. They’re held on with six button head screws for a realistic look. For the Slash/Slash [...]

If you don’t, well, what’s wrong with you? Everybody else wants one, why do you have to be so different and difficult? What would your [...]
