The IF18 is the evolution of the 2017 World Championship winning Infinity 1/8 platform (that also claimed TQ & Super Pole and filed 5 of the 10 spots on the grid of the Main final).

In this video Jesse Davis underlines the differences between standard top deck and R0166M option top deck for IF18 1/8 GP on road car.
Covid19 or not, JConcepts never stop to amaze us with new lexan bodies for our RC models. This time is a replica of the 1987 Buick Grand National (a sinister, wedged shaped vehicle) that is direct fit for Team Associated DR10. The vehicles which are wide-bodied, flat paneled and have a low-roof line always track well down the racetrack. A low front chin, bumper construction and pocketed headlights immediately look like punishment is headed your way.
Tamiya has released a brand new video of the 750hp engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 8×4 Tow Truck. This RC assembly kit model has a realistic body and movable mechanism to allow towing. The front mounted TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T) provides ample power to the two rear axles, via a three-speed transmission. Gear changes are also possible via transmitter controls, and the model can tow subjects such as 1/14 scale RC tractor trucks.

In august 1983, a mere six months after its debut, a new Kyosho machine blew its more established rivals away at the 5th JMRCA 1/12 Electric Racing Car Japan Nationals, held at a specially built track at Nakayama Racecourse Chiba Prefecture.

To celebrate the re-realese of the FANTOM EP 4WD (9th addition to the Vintage Series) Kyosho posted the original promotional video from the 80s!

JConcepts designers never stop to amaze us. They worked years to find the ultimate line of iconic trucks to compliment a range of vehicles utilizing a 10.5 to 11.00” wheelbase such as the Tamiya Clod Buster and Traxxas Stampede. The 1970 Chevy K10 Monster Truck Body is powerful, and the square body shape is a shout-out to the 70s.
For the 1970, a lot of the glamour rests in the front grille and headlight package as well as the layered and sculpted rear tail gate and taillight section (these details are included in the decal sheet along with many emblems and trim packages to customize you body as you like).
