We contacted JB Scale Graphics to give you a wrap that may be immediately recognizable, and enlisted the assistance of full measurement monster truck wrap designer Michael Arndt to help with the look and they far exceeded our expectations. It was laborious deciding on an precise identify for the scheme although. Then, someday I checked out my Spektrum distant and it hit me, “The Spectrum”.
Individuals with ASD or Autism Spectrum Disorder are sometimes mentioned to be “on the spectrum”, so it was a immediate hit with everybody. We teased the discharge of the truck on our Instagram feed by exhibiting random Autism information whereas constructing as much as a grand reveal with the assistance of my son and to at the present time that video is the one I’m most happy with.
Feedback on the design was so optimistic that JB Scale Graphics still sells the wrap today together with the model new model 2 that we simply launched this 12 months. JB kindly donates all income from the sale of The Spectrum wraps to an area autism charity that immediately helps struggling households. We have seen many individuals buy the wraps and make their very own customized variations and it’s nice to see!

Along with the brand new wrap the V2 model has seen the chassis painted Plumb Crazy Purple, a brand new set of JConcept Firestorm Racer tires and a customized set of Copper Headers by Chris @Line_DriveRC.
