JConcepts RC10 shock tower & battery brace re-release

JConcepts have re-released a number of carbon option parts for the RC10 and RC10 classic chassis. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fibreglass unit which carries all the original geometry, however it lacks the pizzazz, strength and appearance that carbon fibre can provide. The new shock tower maintains the classic geometry but includes detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the front-end. The Monroe battery brace by JConcepts is highly functional and aesthetic eye-candy, designed from genuine 2.5mm carbon fibre, it performs as good as it looks. With so much variety in today’s batteries and with most vehicles having a flexible mounting position forward and aft, functionality is always a top priority. With the new battery brace, running different battery positions is possible while maintaining the necessary terminal clearance and providing a healthy holding force to keep everything in tact even in the most demanding conditions or the inevitable crash. The shape, combined with exotic material and surface finish, tops off an all-important look to the vehicle from the inside out.

JConcepts MBX8 Fin titanium turnbuckle set

For the Mugen MBX8, JConcepts released this Fin titanium turnbuckle set. The base of the turnbuckle design is centred on a beefy 5mm square of titanium (camber and steering links) which gradually tapers down into a thread base design which accepts the rod ends featured in the kit. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment area and the ‘finned’ cuts that rotate about the centre. The set also includes the 3mm Fin Titanium steering drag link for a complete look and finish to outfit the kit. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation.

JConcepts titanium motor mounting screws

JConcepts have launched a precise new 3mm titanium motor mounting screw for a variety of applications. The screw has a large diameter head which eliminates the need for a washer and where a lot of detail of the design rests. The head of the screw is highly detailed titanium but with increased machining over the head of the screw. The design incorporates holes and notched hexes which make it incredibly light-weight but strong in all the important areas. Located in the centre is the 2.5mm hex used for adjustment and security.

JConcepts B6.2 front wing & 7″ carpet / astro wing

JConcepts have released two new wings for 1/10th scale offroad, with a new front wing specific to the B6.2 and a 7″ carpet / astro wing. JConcepts, together with their pro racing team of drivers, developed an additional high-performance, lower front wing. It features a high-attack design with trim-able rear gurney options. The wing attaches to the standard Team Associated front wing mount on the B6.2 which is mounted directly to the front shock tower. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while dimples are located on the wing itself to indicate where to mount to the wing on the vehicle. The leading centre section of the wing has been formed into a unique V-shape to perfectly flow and manoeuvre around the camber links and tower or front shocks.

JConcepts Pre-mounted Swagger & Twin Pins tires

Two new items from JConcepts, the Twin Pins 2wd rear pre-mounted tire and the Swagger pre-mounted 2wd front tire, both in pink compound. The Twin Pins feature a dual spike which is connected together to form a mini-mountain like silhouette. The Twins are rotated throughout the design to form a solid, pin rich environment so surface area is maximised. The tire carcass itself has been refined, slammed to low-profile, pre-mounted on #3348W or #3348Y wheels refined for high-speed standards and slimmed out to reduce weight in all possible areas. The centre section of the tire is connected at the base by an ultra-low, winding ‘river walk’ which strengthens pins near the base. The ‘river walk’ can also extend the longevity of the tire once the pins are gone, the ‘walk’ retains some height for emergency long distance main events. The outside of a tire can make or break side-bite, too much pin and the tire can be somewhat tippy, while not enough yields a squirrely vehicle. The very outside of the Twin Pins have legs which extend out to micro pins giving the racer all-important support turning high-speed corners.

JConcepts 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition

JConcepts is pleased to announce a new partnership with USA-1 4×4 and owner Everett Jasmer on the creation of a new decal package for the 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition body. One of the most iconic names in the Monster Truck industry remains USA-1. The original built by Jasmer in the early 1980’s is a classic and features several notable items added to the legacy Chevy build that provides its stance, looks and branding package. With all the experience and expertise, the JConcepts decal set needed to be solid and after receiving all the photo assets of the vehicle, the JConcepts design team went to work recreating an icon. The body arrives clear in package with Chevrolet and JConcepts decal sheet along with window mask for ease of painting. Separately, the set also includes USA-1 4×4 decal sheet for the 1970 shell custom made and licensed through Everett Jasmer.
