JConcepts 1967 Chevy Chevelle body shell

Posted: 28 Dec 2018 07:04 AM PST

JConcepts have introduced their new 1967 Chevy Chevelle for custom SCT vehicles. As the street eliminator class heats up on the circuit, JConcepts has faithfully recreated the icon in full detail. Like all vehicles of this generation, the imagination was amazing in the design department, swooping lines, hard edges and statement making trim packages. The corners of the front-end are pointed and wedge down to point the driver in the correct direction. The hood-scoop is planted along the centre-line of the vehicle bringing that drag-strip inspiration. The roof and coverage of the Chevelle is large and in charge, plenty of head-room for the scale drivers and accessories fans can deliver. One of the staples of the 1967 is the long rear deck lid and large wraparound taillamps with standard backup light mock-ups. Each body also includes the rear wing option to finalise the street eliminator look. The lower rear wing support is mounted carefully to the trunk using double sided tape or shoe goo. The upper wing section sets down and provides the look and finishing touch to the 1967 classic. The body measures a 13”/330mm wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.75”/273mm wide front and 11”/279mm rear. The body is built for a 2WD SCT wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original full-scale counterpart and it comes including a detailed decal sheet.

Blaze Racing roll out new Roche & CRC options

Posted: 28 Dec 2018 03:55 AM PST

Coming from Blaze Racing are new option parts for Roche and CRC 1/12th scale pan cars. First up is a quad link conversion for the Roche P12 2018 that was designed to offer bind-free power pod movement and increased rear end traction. The conversion includes a new lower pod plate in either high-quality carbon or 7075-T6 aluminium specification, new link mounts, link ball studs as well as a 3mm carbon fibre tube brace.

Also new is a chamfered lower link mount that improves motor clearance which is generally reduced when running the quad link pivot. Using the chamfered link mount gives about 1.5mm of additional forward movement. Last but not least comes a quad link rear plate for the CK25 quad link conversion. The shorter rear pod allows for a shorter wheelbase setup – almost like the original CK25. The setup comes in handy when running stock motors on tight and twisty tracks.
