 LD Racing Products HB aluminum wing spacers

Developed in collaboration with RPP Hobby/LD Racing Products team drivers Joe Nolasco and Blake Cannon, this machined aluminium wing spacer kit eliminates wing mount flexing and breakage issues on the Hot Bodies and HPI lines of 8th scale kits. The wing spacer kit weighs about 1 gram less than the stock plastic setup and includes all hardware required to install onto your vehicle. Also included are M4x3mm set screws that can be used to fill the empty wing angle adjustment holes to prevent tearing of the side plates during hard crashes.

JConcepts Ford Raptor SVT O.S.F.M. body

JConcepts introduces the ‘one-size fits most’ ROAR National Champion winning Ford Raptor SVT body.   With an ever increasing number of SCT trucks on the market a need for a body that is extremely versatile is in demand. With no pre-determined marks JConcepts hits demand with the popular Raptor SVT SCT-R body. Beginning with the latest in 1:1 truck detail by incorporating the latest treatment in grill and headlight design, adding street appeal, the front and rear fender flares provide the clearance necessary to run an assortment of tires and wheels while maintaining that exclusive design and look. Extended cab design with recessed side windows, louvers along the front hood highlight a number of the front-end styling cues. Deep recessed trim-out locations along the hood and bed area provide ample space for air relief cut-outs which reduce the parachute / blow-over affect that is so common in Short Course racing. Short course inspired bed area with incredible detail finish off this extraordinary, tough design.

JConcepts 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger SCT body

With detailed 70’s styling, the hood scoop immediately is a standout retro feature which lends itself to the grill, fender and authentic 70’s cab styling. JConcepts left no detail untouched on bringing this old / new theme to the SCT crowd and most notably the rear roll bars and front to back horizontal body lines that give the “79” unmatched SCT realism. Like all JConcepts bodies, performance is always a top priority and the 1979 does not stop short in performance. The stance has been optimized utilizing dimensional aspects of the other popular JConcepts bodies, the Manta and Raptor SVT. Fits the Slash, Slash 4×4, SC10 and other similar SCT’s
