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.
