JConcepts RC10 1989 Stealth Alu Steering Bellcrank

Tested and debuted by Ryan Maifeld at the Team Associated Off-Road Championships in Las Vegas, JConcepts has released this Aluminium Steering Bellcrank set for the RC10 1989 Stealth. Looking for more durable design, JConcepts evaluated the options and built an all-aluminium design bringing the driving bell-crank into a one-piece and solid design, increasing steering response and feel. The idler bellcrank sports a beefy and similar design giving the vehicle a symmetrical feel. The parts are available in blue or black anodising and feature silver chamfered edged highlighting and laser-etched JC logo for brand authenticity. The bellcranks are bearing supported with heavy-duty flanged bearings and include threaded standoffs. The threaded standoffs attach to the chassis first utilising the included JConcepts 8/32” x 1/4” titanium screws and the rest of the assembly install and secure over the standoffs. An aluminium washer is included to secure the top end of the assembly with 4-40 x 5/16” FHCS. Also included are 5.5 x 4mm titanium ball-studs for each location on the alu steering hole locations.

JConcepts RC10B7.1 | B84 Striker Body

Introducing its latest 1:10 offroad racing body, JConcepts has released the new Striker for both the RC10B7.1 2WD Buggy and B84 4WD Buggy from Team Associated. Inspired by one of the fastest closed-wheel racing vehicles in the world, the LMP, the standout feature is the wrap-around cab with sunglass style window treatment. During the 2010’s, Brian Kinwald sported this style window design on some of his off-road race cars and JConcepts used a combination of his inspiration with theirs to form the new pod style cab. Over the rear-end, a newly built stabilising fin rises in height toward the rear of the shell to provide P2 style and performance characteristics. The front of the ramping feature blends into a tiny roof scoop reminiscent of the BJ4 Worlds Edition and provides a small finishing touch to the centre section of the body. The sidepods are the simplest yet from JConcepts, rolling shapes, radius edges with variable blended heights float over trouble spots in the chassis geometry and inner electronic concerns. Available in standard and lightweight thickness polycarbonate, the rear portion of the 2WD body includes features to cover spur gear shroud while still appearing as an intergraded component into the overall concept. The rear portion of the 4WD body includes features to cover the rear of the vehicle while still appearing as an intergraded component into the overall concept.

JConcepts RC10B7.1 | B84 Dragonator body

JConcepts are bringing a little of the 2000 back to 1:10 offroad buggy racing with the Dragonator body shell for the Team Associated’s latest 2WD and 4WD buggies. Offered for both the RC10B7.1 and the RC10B84, the new body is heavily inspired by the early 2000’s dynamo. The 1:10^th buggy class is ruled primary by JConcepts performance bodies such as the S2, F2, P2, and S15 and for the new season of offroad racing Jason Ruona and his Florida company has got a bit more creative and sculpted and notched up to another level with this angular beauty stating the ‘Cab forward, cab rearward, the debate lives on, but the Dragonator is something different’. Starting from another clean slate, the designers threw all existing JConcepts models out the window. A good portion of the new shell is all cab, the narrow front develops width as it reaches the rear, up to a specialty fin where it picks up stability. The long swooping side windows provide an aggressive stance that all converges to the front like an arrow. Plenty of room for window borders, painters, and hobbyists can have a blast detailing, painting, and adding their signature scheme to this new bullet. The power pods are raised in advanced territory directing and channeling flow over the centre of the chassis and through to the rear. The heavy inner edge of the power pods is a hard stop but ultimately the defining concept of the new item. The decreasing radius portion of the back of the cab is unique, created to ride low-profile on the track surface and equalize the front to rear bias of the all-cab concept. Stepped rear “doghouse” serves as the termination point of the windows and positions it just before the rear tower.

JConcepts RC10 4WD Alu Steering Bellcrank

New from Florida’s JConcepts comes this Aluminium Steering Bellcrank for the Team Associated RC10 4WD Buggy and Truck. One of the best hop-ups that can be made to the RC10 and RC10T 4WD is to update the steering bellcranks with a more durable design. JConcepts has evaluated the options and built an all-aluminium design bringing the driving bell-crank into a one-piece design eliminating the servo saver, increasing steering response and feel. The idler bell-crank sports a beefy and similar design giving the vehicle a symmetrical feel. The parts are available in blue or black anodising and feature silver chamfered edged highlighting and laser-etched JC logo for brand authenticity. Available in JConcepts signature blue or black finishes, the bellcranks are bearing supported with heavy-duty flanged bearings and include threaded aluminium steering posts with etched JC logo for an ultra-snug fit and finish. JConcepts has also went the extra mile and included 8/32 x 5/16” FHCS screws in titanium which thread into the bottom of the chassis and ultimately the steering posts for a complete design. Keep in mind the RC10 and RC10T 4WD uses 3mm x 5.5 ball-studs in each area of the steering assembly except for the high post to connect the steering servo tie-rod which uses a 4-40 ball-end.

JConcepts MP11 P2 Body & Aero Front Wing

US offroad brand JConcepts has updated its P2 body shell for the new Kyosho MP11 1:8 Buggy platform along with releasing a new Aero Front Wing. The P2 was designed originally for the 1:10 racing with key features of the 1:8 P2 design being a tall stabilising fin on the rear of the body as well as a small mini fin placed behind the rear of the cab that does not interfere with the engine head. In the rear, the ramping feature creeps up behind the cab and engine head to create extra force and stability. The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard formed thickness. The Aero Front Wing replaces the front of the body sticking through the shock tower, or how some vehicles have a nosecone. The design that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics on high-speed circuits or those demanding more force over the front tyres. The front scoop includes 2 pieces per package, so a driver has enough to outfit their nitro and e-buggy with the same package. The front wing can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit, and finish.
