Drivers in the RC industry will not have to look far in the JConcepts line-up for heritage Ford truck designs such as the 1995 Ford F-150. One of the favorites for truck lovers, the aero nose truck concept helped build Ford’s reputation as the best selling truck. In the 9th generation, trucks were created with more internal and external features, popular trim packages helped trucks appeal to a wider audience. A classic never goes out of style, and, now with JConcepts, the 1995 Ford truck can now be a designated crawler for the masses.
The JConcepts philosophy on a tucked body is to make it look like a truck, add allowances for increased articulation, minimal overhang and to accommodate competition sized tires. Aero nose Fords are code named by JConcepts “Lithium” which is a nod to when these trucks were born, the height of the grunge music era of the 1990’s. The single cab body brings back the memories of bench seating, lap seat beats, AM/FM radio with CD player turned up to the max. Vintage JConcepts body shells come clear in the package, have preinstalled overspray film, include versatile decal sheet, and window masks.
The design began by emulating body lines and language from various photos around the world and real world vehicles. Body panels feature slight curvature, upper notch familiar with early generation Ford trucks, and edged and kicked rocker panel at the bottom. The narrow front nose Tucks to ~4” in width giving Lithium plenty of front-end clearance for JConcepts Tuck, Landmines, Ruptures, and Megalithic tire combinations. Running the body at a lower height and especially on vehicles such as the Axial SCX Pro give the proper look and stance designers from JConcepts had in mind.
Larger opening wheel well and fender flares make their way into this project and blend smoothly into the profile giving a little more might and matter. Single window cab, door lines, hood lines are all intact on the JConcepts piece to overcome all obstacles. Flat rear bed area makes body mounting simple with a touch of realism, rear window is scribed into place, rear taillight area is recessed for decals and tailgate piece looks fantastic in Ford decal texture.
The clear pre-trimmed body is completely factory cut with an incredible edge finish around the wheel wells, along with front and rear bumper areas. The pre-trimmed decals apply easily and quickly, and the included window mask has already been tailored to the exact shapes of the windows for an easy-to-use concept. Appling the grille, and headlights finalize the look, place miscellaneous Ford, JConcepts, and Lithium logos about the shell for the best look.
One of the more widely used vehicles used in the monster truck industry during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s was the Chevy S10. The mid-sized pick-up incorporating the square body design worked perfectly with leaf sprung monsters with 66” and 73” tires during the early era of monster trucks. During the late 80’s and into the 1990’s the mid-sized S10 with extended cab made a great racing truck body due to its simplicity, smaller footprint, and ability to look good while being lightweight.
JConcepts has carefully crafted a legendary style from Chevrolet and incorporated it into a 12 to 13” wheelbase model which has monstrous style and performance. The JConcepts extended cab body shell arrives clear in the package and can be custom painted, decaled, or wrapped by the user to replicate a favorite. The team took the opportunity to signify an era with the photo model with the 1:10th Jason Ruona paint scheme courtesy of Darkside Designs. The S10 features large wheel well openings that allow an abundance of clearance for large tires such as the JConcepts Renegades #3168, Racer #4038, and Runner #4044 tires.
The extended cab S10 body has flat body panel treatment associated with pick-up trucks from this era and built-in front bumper. The front of the body has plenty of space for included decals and horizonal body lines down the side providing detail and increasing rigidity to the design. Recessed side windows have a large format providing the look so common during the golden years of monster trucks. The bed surface is lowered to allow the rear body mounts or bed positioning at another plane which can be detailed, decaled, or painted to the driver’s liking.
The packaged body arrives clear as formed polycarbonate in a lightweight and durable thickness with protective film. The included miscellaneous Chevrolet, GM, and JConcepts decals apply easily and quickly, and the included window mask has already been tailored to the exact shapes of the windows for an easy-to-use concept. A simple instruction sheet covers the basics of painting for new or inexperienced users.
