JConcpets – 0482 – 1/10 JCI Power Master, Cab Only Clear Body
Description
JConcepts introduces a new cab only body to the crawling and scaling enthusiast who appreciates a hard-nose and retro vibe. The Power Master follows along the success of popular shells like the Creep and CreepER styles by the team from Groveland, Florida. The concentration of the platform is for versatility and offering clearance for an abundance of rigs who are in kit form or highly modified for the trails and technical courses. Simply put, you cannot go wrong with a JConcepts body shell from the JC Speed Shop.
The start of the design begins at the grille, a short overhang provides a lot of options in terms of aftermarket bumper options. The V-shaped front-end allows for more tire clearance with minimum overhang for less snags and space for truck geometry and grippy tires. The cab has a real retro vibe, the round shape, front to back and side to side, pay dividends in sketchy terrain or when the truck turns over. The window style has split dividers capturing trucks from yesteryear when venting and structural construction depended on it.
Small wheel well flares are built into the design to give structural stability and a seasoned and professional appearance. The Power Master includes window mask, detailed decal set including miscellaneous JConcepts and Power Master logos. Overspray film is standard on all JConcepts bodies, and the entire package is complete and backed with JConcepts customer support and heritage.
Note: JConcepts has (not included) accessories available on Shapeways to add items like mirrors, door handles, grab bars, and complete bed to further enhance the looks of the Power Master.

JConcepts
JConcepts is a Florida-based R/C design and manufacturing company. Owner and president, Jason Ruona, has been involved with Radio Control cars since the 1980's. Early beginnings include building and driving such vehicles as the Tamiya Clod Buster, the Team Losi JRX-T and Associated RC10 and RC10T. The 1990's were spent as a Team Associated travel team driver racing at events all around the world. Now, decades later, Ruona is proudly selling quality bodies, tires, wheels and accessories to R/C racers around the world.
Ruona debuted the first body in the Illuzion line of race bodies at the 2003 IFMAR World Championship in Clearwater, FL, and placed in the A-Main with his RC10B4 fitted with an Illuzion body. Also in 2003, Ruona and Brad Reelfs designed and built the BJ4, the company's first 4 wheel drive electric car for the IFMAR World Championship in Clearwater. Ruona finished 13th overall in 4wd with this new car.
Initially, intended only as a prototype for the World Championships the BJ4 was never intended as a production car. However, as hype surrounding this prototype developed, it became apparent that the BJ4 had to become a production reality. A preorder list was created on the JConcepts website and the anticipation began.
In July of 2004, JConcepts released a small production run of BJ4 kits to customers waiting on the preorder list. Receiving their kits just a few weeks before the event, Rod Rippee and Chris Baumgartner placed 1st and 3rd respectively in the 4wd stock class giving JConcepts their first ROAR National Championship.
Early 2005 was a remarkable time for JConcepts. Ryan Maifield, driving the original BJ4, TQ'd and won the prestigious Cactus Classic in Scottsdale, Arizona. Maifield also TQ'd the ROAR Modified Nationals in Enfield, Connecticut. Jared Tebo continued to rack up victories with the Illuzion bodies at races such as the Dirt Nitro Challenge, Silver State Nitro Challenge, Cactus Classic and ROAR Modified Nationals.
Just as the original BJ4 was hitting its stride, the IFMAR World Championships was approaching once again. Prior to the event, a successor to the original BJ4 hit the drawing board. Utilizing a warm-up trip to Italy to confirm suspicions, the BJ4 Worlds Edition started to take shape.
