JConcepts RC10B7 Alu Battery Hold and Swing Set

New from JConcepts comes this swing operated battery retainer that is designed for simplicity, adjustability, and quick battery changes. Available in blue and black anodised colours options, the aluminium rails bolt to the standard RC10B7 platform chassis side guards and functions like the stock plastic components. The aluminium swings include hardware for installation and spacers for height adjustment depending on which battery type is used in the vehicle. When using a tall battery pack, it is necessary to install the tall stand-offs under the swing part to raise the height of the entire assembly. For the low-profile battery pack, install the short stand-offs to outfit the configuration to adapt to the required height. Two different length BHCS screws are included and should be used in conjunction with the corresponding stand-off. It is also necessary to use the stock O-rings from the kit parts to provide the cushion and vibration resistance.

JConcepts Protector RC10 1989 Stealth buggy body

New from JConcepts comes the Protector body for the RC10 1989 Stealth buggy from Team Associated. Debuted at the 2025 Team Associated Vintage Championship in Las Vegas last weekend and a hit in the hands of Ryan Maifield, the new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10 and one of the most popular kit bodies of all-time. This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s with rear biased cab, large rear transmission over-hanging section, and large rear windows. The body fits around the 1989 Stealth chassis with careful considerations to the angles, height, and transitions. One of the most retro bodies in the JConcepts fleet, the Protector has very simple side-pods and efficiently covers the chassis. Multiple side windows, including the vintage back window, stand out as class leading details. The front nose piece of the body is feathered on the sides and chamfered to fit between the shock tower and slides just inside and over the top deck. A small, flared section near the front provides clearance around the steering bell cranks and servo link. The rear overhang of the body is what makes a vintage buggy stand out vs later model vehicles. The rise over the rear shock tower has tower protection and an outlining detail around the shocks. Included in each package is a 5.5” wing that is designed to sit flat on the geometry of the body and sits down and hugs the back of the body. A simple, yet detailed wing design provides plenty of “sling” clearance for dirt and debris from the rear tires. A full selection of gurney options on the rear of the wing gives racers a selection of heights to trim to, depending on the level of traction. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode.

Champlin crowned double INS15 Champion with Finals clean sweep

Newly crowned 1:10 2WD Buggy World Champion Broc Champlin is the double Champion of the JConcept INS15, the Schumacher driver capping off the popular 1:10 Offroad series with a clean sweep at the season Final held at Hoosier RC Hobbyplex in Indiana over the weekend. While Champlin had already secured the 2WD title ahead of the fifth & final stop on the calendar, he was looking to replace his P5 from Round 1 of the series held at at Trackside Hobbies in Wisconsin. In 2WD qualifying it was Team Associated’s Davey Batta who took the opening round but the World Championship podium finisher who end up P2 on the grid as Champlin topped Q2 & 3. Xray’s Chase Lemieux and Dakotah Phend completed the Top 4. In 4WD it was again Champlin who secured the TQ over Batta with Brennan Schimmel third ahead of Aydin Horne. In the triple finals, Champlin would wrap up both victories as he went two from two in A2. Winning A3 of 2WD, Batta secured second as Phend completed the podium while in 4WD Phend took 2nd despite Horne winning A3, the Team Associated driver completed the podium.

JConcepts 0 Offset Alu Clamping Servo Horn

New from JConcepts comes this 0 Offset Aluminium Clamping Servo Horn. The 0 off-set nature of this design works in conjunction with the #5209 JConcepts steering kit and in particular the alternate pick-up point on the JConcepts bell cranks matches this new servo horn and provides a proper alignment. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on top surrounds the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity. Available in black anodising, the 16.5mm clamping servo horn is great for vehicles such as the RC10B7 using the #5209 steering kit and others which require the same height.

JConcepts Illuzion 7.0″ Monster Wing w/ Centre Divider

New from JConcepts comes this Illuzion 7.0″ Monster Wing with Center Divider for 1:10 Offroad Buggy. The Florida company has championed the large 7” Illuzion style wing since early 2000’s and used it with several model bodies over the years. Originally released in 2005, the Illuzion 7” wing was used by Spencer Rivkin to win the 2019 IFMAR World Championship in 2WD Buggy along with the JConcepts centre divider. Combining these items has been quite routine over the years when racers are looking for additional rear grip and drag. 20 years later, JConcepts has revived this design, added a few exclusive new features, and added the centre divider into the same base molded feature. The broad base, the ability to run a long chord length, and updated clearance allows the rear tires to blend nicely with the traditional V-shaped figure. The item arrives un-trimmed so the user can adjust sizing to the regulated rules to get maximum performance out of the package. The divider can also be trimmed to specification and drops right down and maintains the same look and profile as the monster wing itself.
