JConcepts have released the Punisher body for the Associated RC8T, with its mean look, it separates itself from the rest of the bodies on the market with it’s distinctive styling. Beginning with the newly re-designed grill and headlights, the hood and cab are amongst the lowest in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. The bed area represents the latest offering for 1/8th truck racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape and it requires an additional Maifield edition blue anodised JConcepts rear body mount to fit it. Also new from JConcepts is the new Mono 3.7″ standard offset wheel for trucks. The new Mono wheels are the maximum allowed size under ROAR rules and make a statement with their large appearance, flat dish shaped design and inner rib design. The wheels also incorporate an outer glue catch that resists excess glue from running down the wheel face during the gluing process. Available in white and fluorescent yellow.
