    jConcepts 'King Sling' ultimate mud truck

    Hmmmm.....this one's a bit baffling......

     

    A teaser was released this week from jConcepts, a manufacturer renowned for its high end race spec buggies, showing their latest RC...What they are labelling as the ultimate mud truck

     

    Will this be the mainstream break out of a new genre of RC?? Or a spectacular flop.....?

     

    (As usual, little detail is given in the teaser ) available mid Dec 2017

     

    Teaser-JConcepts-King-Sling-Ultimate-Meg

    From JConcepts:
    From the mind of Dennis Anderson, the wild and wooly King Sling was born. The ultimate Mega Truck, born in Poplar Branch, North Carolina has a wild side, combining the brute power and durability of a monster truck with the madness of a mud racer. King Sling is a beast, and JConcepts has worked together with designers and builders to replicate this body shell to fit on a host of popular chassis including the Axial SMT10.

     

    Creation history –

    The JConcepts team met on location to photograph, measure and sketch up the 1:1 King Sling. Experienced industry insiders sat to discuss the project and lay plans to fit and finish the popular body to several popular chassis sets on the market. Computer drawings were completed during the summer of 2017 and from there, professionals at JConcepts took the necessary hand finishing time to pin-point focus sections of the creation. Wing, scoop and final fitment were complete during the late summer and decals designs finished and put into production.

     

    Test samples were produced and the first working prototype hit the dirt during the late stages of 2017. Professional painting, photography and press release were created to go along with the product. King Sling the video is in the pipeline, stay tuned to JConcepts Inc on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram for the final cut.

     

    Dress for success –

    The final vehicle is shown using the JConcepts (#3155) Fling King tires and (#3179) Dragon wheels. The 2.6” wheel diameter and matching tire is the perfect compliment for any mud run, dirt track or grass field conditions.

    Available Mid December 2017

    Looking forward to seeing the features and details. And also... the point they are going for!

     

    Right now, it just looks like a hot rod shell, with mud-slinger tyres on an HPI Wheelie King!
