[JConcepts "The Gozer" Monster Truck Body]

Marmite? but what's with the pricing on lexan bodies - there's nothing finicky on this design and whilst it's a fair size it's not huge.  Not that Jconcepts are alone in this, but I expect we'll see a UK retail of near enough £40.,. for material costs measured in single figures and no licensing fees.

And a close up:

 

 

 

 

This is a rebadged Himoto E10 chassis - and I speak from experience - could be a real step backwards for the brand.  Under the Himoto badge plastics are brittle, way beyond even FTX's budget offerings, and some of the design choices are interesting - front shock tower for example in integrated into the front bulkhead.  Shocks are mounted to the outside edge of the lower arms.... and snap for fun.

 

Better plastics will help but no alleviate all the issues.  Price seems ok... expect £99 street price,  and I like the shell design!
