JConcepts ‘Summit Racing’ & ‘Angels’ BIGFOOT 4×4

Having become very involved in the RC monster truck scene in recent years thanks to owner Jason Ruona’s own personal love of all things BIGFOOT, JConcepts has released two new licensed bodies for the iconic vehicle that all started with a 1974 Ford F-250. One of the most used schemes in 2016, is the Summit Racing BIGFOOT 4×4 and it featured a seldom used style incorporating “scallop drops” to a base colour silver body. An eye catching design with a rather simple selection of elements gives the user the ability to race and bash with a limited amount of time invested. The second offering is the Angels BIGFOOT 4×4 from 2015 and it featured a slight change in design from those in the past. Angels is one of the only BIGFOOT trucks that uses a purple base paint scheme which shows up beautifully in the sun and in the spotlight. The actual graphics, show many flame licks in a bold yellow, orange, red, and white colour fading. Behind the flames, droplets of blue swirl and coast behind to form abstract tribal art, drips, and flames. Logo’s pop with block letter BIGFOOT font colorised to fit in with the Angels theme. Each package includes window mask, new 2010 generation Ford Raptor specific decal sheet and clear polycarbonate 2010 Ford Raptor body shell.

Avid AE/TLR Arm Mounts C Wider

Avid has released new Wider C Blocks for the Associated B6.4 & B74.2 and TLR’s 22 5.0 & 22X-4. They are a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. The mount frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. Typically, to get to the low rear toe settings that you need on carpet, you must start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your trackwidth. The C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C pivot block, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centered pills on the C and D mount instead of 3.

Phend does double at JConcepts Fall Indoor Nationals

Now in its 12th season, the JConcepts Indoor National Series travelled to Hoosier RC HobbyPlex in New Albany, IN, over the weekend for the ‘Fall’ event where Dakotah Phend came away with the buggy double. The Team Losi Racing star would secure the TQ in both 2WD and 4WD buggy en route to taking home the wins against three World Champions. Fastest in all three 2WD qualifiers, Phend would line up on pole ahead Xray’s Ty Tessmann and Yokomo’s Ryan Maifield. Neither were able to find away passed in A1 & 2 allowing Phend to wrap things up early. With him absent from A3, Tessmann could take the win from Cole Tollard to secure 2nd overall with World Champion Spencer Rivkin completing the overall podium thanks to two 3rd place finishes. In 4WD Phend again topped all qualifiers to lead away the A-Main field from Maifield, Broc Champlin, Tessmann and Rivkin. While he would win A1, an early mistake in A2 left Phend with a 5th as Maifield took the win from Tessmann meaning it was A3 to decide the overall win. An exciting final encounter would see Maifield put a pass on Phend to go to the front with the TLR driver quickly coming back at him, unfortunately a problem for Maifield would deny the big showdown. Making it a INS podium double, Tessmann would complete the 4WD Buggy Top 3 behind Phend and Maifield.
