Ignite Design RC bringing back gas truck

Ignite Design RC have released and interesting new project, a Nitro conversion kit for the Associated T6.1/6.2. Created by Chad Parks, his wish was to rekindle his love affair with gas truck from the late nineties. Using a modern TC6 as a base, the conversion kit is very complete, including new chassis plate, top deck, receiver box, fuel tank, engine mounts, braking system, clutch, air filter and throttle/brake linkages. The end result looks very high quality, with some nicely machined aluminium and carbon fibre, and works as expected. They are currently taking pre-orders for a December delivery.

Pro-Line 1.9″ Trencher & 1.55″ Super Swamper tires

Two new additions from Pro-Line to their crawler range with the release of the 1.9″ Trencher crawler tire and Super Swamper tires for 1.55″ crawler wheels. The Trencher crawler tires are inspired by their very popular all-terrain Trencher tread, featuring an extremely aggressive tread pattern with each tread block containing multiple sipes and multiple levels for incredible tread flex while still looking great on a Scale Rig. The new Super Swamper tire is a first ever tire for 1.55″ size wheels from Pro-Line. With ‘almost scale’ not being acceptable and access to Interco’s design data, Pro-Line’s engineering staff has reproduced the original Super Swamper in a scale configuration matched by none. The new 3.85″ tall by 1.45″ wide Class 0 tire is perfect for those ultra-scale 1.55″ wheel rigs begging for matching scale tires combined with unmatched rock crawling performance.

JConcepts Gozer monster truck body

When it comes to monster truck nastiness, look no further than the JConcepts Gozer body for 12 to 13” wheelbase monster trucks. The angular front and rear sections provide major clearance for big racing tires such as the JConcepts Renegades. The nature of the 4-door body has a lot of purpose in mind and with a little nip here and a tuck there, the Gozer sits down on platforms such as the Axial SMT10 and similar sized and wheelbase trucks. A large arched front wheel-well dead-ends at the grille section and once covered with included decal, looks quite bossy and stares you down like a piece of heavy-equipment. The high-roof design with crisp body lines, front vent and recessed bed are incorporated to provide durability to a freestyle bruising machine. Large format windows in the dual cab design provide plenty of rise and clearance for an assortment of body combinations. Large swooping rear wheel wells allow suspension travel to soak up the bumps while the tires are allowed a lot of movement up into the body. Included in each body set, a clear and heavy-duty polycarbonate body, decal sheet and the paint mask for all windows.
