Buy Now   The team at JConcepts had some fun with this one, the 1985 Ford Aerostar built for 13” or longer RC monster trucks. Back in the good old days, it was common to take just about every vehicle, make and model and produce a racing machine that would blister down the race track. As JConcepts continues to add performance, and historic looking shells to an already existing line-up, a lot of creative freedom was applied to this beast to provide ideal looks and tire clearance for big tire behemoths. The 1985 Ford Aerostar by JConcepts is fit for the LMT, Axial SMT10, and similar sized ..read more

Buy Now   One of the most endearing vehicles of all-time in the BIGFOOT® 4X4 line-up is the Shuttle. Based on a 1985 Ford Aerostar van, the crew from Missouri set out to build something the whole family could enjoy and learn from. The Shuttle was routinely used as a training vehicle for new drivers learning how to negotiate the 4wd steering so typical on monster trucks. It also made a great vehicle to test drive a new track, perform a scouting run through new terrain or provide entertainment for home videos driving through riverbeds and tackling camping trips. BIGFOOT® Shuttle plays in t ..read more

In this edition of the JConcepts Friday5 we talk to Missouri team driver, Jake Stoeltzing! 1. Ok let’s start with how you got first involved in RC. Did you pick it up from someone, stumbled across a local track, etc.? Like a lot of kids, I was first introduced to RC by my dad. He found out about Fastlane Raceway on the internet around 2013. We went and watched the JConcepts Winter Indoor Shootout and Invitational at Fastlane, and I was shocked at how cool and fast those guys made racing RC cars look. It wasn’t until around 2016 that I got my first real buggies, but I messed around with Traxx ..read more

Buy Now   One of the most memorable JConcepts moments came at the hands of Spencer Rivkin at the 2015 World Championships at Yatabe Arena in Tsukuba City, Japan. The Arizona native crossed the line with the Silencer body style designed and fabricated just for that event. The “S2,” began as a carpet, and turf specialty body but has quickly become a favorite for racers who require a low-profile, low-drag body which whisks through the turns with speed and efficiency. It is difficult to find a better appearing JConcepts shell, the S2 has some of the sleekest style in the line-up. The design ..read more

This past weekend racers from around the world convened in White Pine, Tennessee for the 2024 Psycho Nitro Blast. The open and fast layout provided some fantastic racing action and when the dust settled JConcepts drivers found their way to the top in a multitude of classes! The big consistent selling point of the event is the almost 24 hour practice day that allows racers to practice through the night or opt for some extra rest depending on how things go. This year a few rounds of practice by skill level were added to create a bit more organization and less time spent in line with the night ..read more

In this edition of the JConcepts Friday5 we talk to Canadian team driver, Evan Roeth! 1. How did you get started in RC? Was it racing right away, or did you bash vehicles before you found out about the RC race scene? I got started in RC through a friend of mine that had a bunch of bashers and let me try some out. I found out that I really enjoyed it and got one of my own. I ran it for fun at skate parks for around six months then found out about the racing side of the hobby and picked that up. I’ve been racing seven years now and absolutely love it! 2. From your experience what is the easie ..read more
