JConcepts RC10 Classic aluminium rear motor plate

The latest JConcepts option part of the Team Associated RC10 Classic is this aluminium rear motor plate. Resembling the original plate combined with modern day design cues such as the milled-out honeycomb sections the motor mount is light of weight but very rigid at the same time, making for a sturdy platform for brushed and brushless motors. The original “raised” heatsink shield is slightly modified for improved looks and to lower the weight while still being strong. The motor mounting slots are built in a radius to smoothly rotate the motor to the desired position while the silver chamfered edges give the hole part a “2013” apperance. The plate comes in blue and black colour and fitsthe RC10 Classic as well as all original RC10 and RC10T.

JConcepts RC10 Classic aluminium steering set

One of the best hop-ups that can be made to the RC10 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 1-piece design eliminating the servo saver, 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 and feature silver chamfered edged highlighting and laser-etched JC logo. The bellcranks are bearing supported with heavy-duty flanged bearings and include threaded aluminium steering posts for an ultra snug fit and finish. Hardware includes genuine Team Associated 8-32 x ½” aluminium flat head screws and custom aluminium post shims which locates on the bottom of the assembly. The steering kit fits all RC10 and RC10 classic buggies.
