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.

T-Work’s released a new Lexan body reamer with an aluminum handle and a double edged cutting head, displaying millimeter increments up to 13mm. This tool is designed to make it easier to keep the hole centered and make precision sized holes in Lexan and polycarbonate bodies.
In this video Adam Clift, Carisma Team Driver, shows us how to the LED kit for the Range Rover Classic shell. They are a push fit into the light buckets, and then simply require the front grille bolting on and the rear buckets fitting using double sided tape (included with the clear shell).
JConcepts has reproduced one of the classiest looking vehicles to the Drag Eliminator scene: the 1955 Chevy Bel Air Drag Eliminator. Taking on this project was not an effortless task, doing a great deal of R&D, the team went for the more race inspired style and decided to split up the design into 3 different parts. First, the main Bel Air shell has been carefully crafted via CAD and hand shaped and finish to realize the many details found on the 1955.
The body is built for a 2wd Short Course wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original 1:1 counterpart.
