The JConcepts team had a standout weekend at the 2024 ROAR 1/10th Scale Dirt Off-Road Nationals hosted by Beach RC in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The track surface and grip level threw drivers for a bit of a loop but ultimately the team was able to figure it out and prevail in the end. The team started on the tried and true Silver Compound Smoothie 2.0s to kick things off for the week on Wednesday. The Silver compound was leaving a little to be desired for some drivers mostly in the modified classes so the Aqua (A2) compound was broken out and gave racers like Spencer Rivkin and Dakotah Ph ..read more

Once you got started what class did you participate in to begin with and why? I first heard of RC racing from my dad.

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.

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.

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.

It wasn’t until around 2016 that I got my first real buggies, but I messed around with Traxx ..read more
