JConcepts RC10B5 & B5M Honeycomb motor plates

JConcepts RC10B5 & B5M Honeycomb motor plates

JConcepts have released these replacement motor plates for the popular RC10B5 and RC10B5M vehicles. Looking at the typical construction of the second operation processes on standard motor plates, it easy to see why bending is sometimes an issue. The design team at JC have incorporated a honeycomb milling affect with placement more suited to surrounding geometry making the plate lightweight and very rigid in multiple directions. The honeycomb features add a 3D look especially as they remain natural aluminium while the rest is available black or blue in color. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite skinny.

JConcepts B5 & B5M alu front suspension brace

JConcepts B5 & B5M alu front suspension brace

New for the Associated B5 & B5M from JConcepts comes this aluminium front suspension brace. The machined and anodized aluminium brace is spot on in terms of geometry, fit, finish and position. The edging has been slightly chamfered to remove sharp corners and adds extra luster to an already polished looking piece while the tightened design eliminates extra bulk and weight with deep cutouts. Finally the perimeter ledge has a hefty chamfer which provides slightly more front clearance during hard landings and corning.

JConcepts RC10 Detonator Worlds bodyshell

JConcepts RC10 Detonator Worlds bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Detonator Worlds bodyshell for the Team Associated RC10 buggy. The spirit of the Detonator lives in the 1990’s, starting with the rear biased, over rear tower, hung cab, super large window detail. The side-pods are simple, yet effectively cover the iconic aluminium tub chassis and skate by the latest in inboard electrical gear. Hard-edge chamfering along the sides of the body provides a current and trimmed look while one large side window, stands out giving that unique 90’s racer style. The front of the body slides just inside the front shock tower and nose brace tubes and gradually rises up to a centre inlet scoop built into the hood. Included in each Detonator package is a 5.5″ wing that is designed to fit flat and sits down and hugs the back of the body. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode. Included with the clear bodyshell, that is usable with the RC10 Classic, RC10 Worlds rel-release as well as vintage RC10’s, come window masks and a decal sheet.
