ARC R11F FWD touring car kit

ARC have announced the soon release of their forthcoming new R11F front-wheel driven 1/10th scale touring car kit. A first for the company, the car builds on the proven R11 2019 4WD touring car, sharing over 95 percent of the parts which makes parts storage easy when running both classes. The car utilises a 2.25mm carbon fibre main chassis combined with a 2.0mm upper deck, while an optional 1.6mm carbon or an aluminium upper deck allow to fine-tune the chassis’ torsional flex characteristics. The upper decks of the R11F and the R11 2019 are similar, further helping to minimise parts needed to run both cars alongside. On the transmission side of things the R11F features a belt-driven drivetrain with an oil-filled gear differential while the battery compartment allows for five different configurations such as side and cross alignment standard packs, side or cross alignment shorty batteries and also an inline/centre placement of shorty battery packs. The kit is shipping now and should hit stores very soon.

JConcepts RC10T2 1995 Ford F-150 truck body

To honour of the golden age of stadium truck racing, JConcepts unveils a 1995 Ford F-150 stadium truck body for the Team Associated RC10T2 vintage 2WD truck. The RC10T2 has very little body options available and JConcepts took on a passion project to deliver a body to a vintage community thirsty for a fresh reboot. The JC body is narrow and sits close against the chassis to give racers the team look popular in the 1990’s. The styling is completely modelled after the most popular full-size truck of that era, the 1995 Ford F-150. The entire body shape has been chiseled, incorporating styling cues from the full-scale truck including wheel well shapes, door lines, window outlines and rear tailgate. The front-end sits just behind the front bumper while the headlight and grille area look strikingly stock and with included decal sheet, looks like its street truck counterpart. The RC10T2 body is moulded in a durable gauge material and includes rear spoiler, mounting hardware and decal sheet to completely outfit a vintage ride.
