Then, when the Team Associated RC10GT hit the scene, 1/10th gas truck’s popularity blew up and so did the popularity of the RC10GT platform winning over fans for its fun driveability, parts availability everywhere, and it became the introduction to nitro racing for most racers in that era.

JConcepts just introduced the new F2 body designed for Traxxas Rustler stadium truck. One of the key features is an arrow based design where the front is much narrower than the rear so it appears on-point and with an all-new grille and headlight layout with four included grille options. The imprint of the nose draws in the truck enthusiast without giving up on the futuristic twist and Finnisher heritage.
Protecting the front shock tower area is done with a traditional shape but contains new louver positioning and available air-release features located just in front of the main cab.
