ST Racing Concepts have introduced new option parts for the Axial SCX10 truck in the form of a front bumper mount and two rear chassis braces. CNC machined from high-quality aluminium, the heavy-duty chassis rail brace and bumper mounts will add great strength while adding visual impact. The parts allow for various combinations of builds, like mounting a Honcho style front bumper, eliminating the rear bumper all together, or allowing the addition of tail lights to the SCX10. The front chassis brace/bumper mount is machined specifically for the SCX10 Honcho bumper while the rear chassis brace is for SCX10 vehicles that does not require an installation of a rear bumper and adds increase in durability and looks to the rear of the vehicle. The third new part, the light bucket rear chassis brace is for those SCX10 owners that have forward mounted batteries and wish to also install rear tail lights on their SCX10. The parts are available in black, gun metal, green or silver anodising.
