JConcepts DR10 & SR10 +2mm motor plate

JConcepts has rolled out a sweet looking replacement motor plate for the DR10 and SR10 vehicle line-up. With the evolution faster vehicles, drag racing, and speedy dirt oval racing, a serous crash is inevitable. 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 JConcepts has 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 featuring the natural aluminium while the rest is available blue or black anodised colours. The motor plate is compatible with the Team Associated DR10 and SR10 while remaining lightweight. Slight chamfering on the 3mm thickness material allows the rather beefy plate to look quite slim and trim. In addition, longer slots have been designed into the motor plate to allow larger pinion sizes to accommodate the needs of the hardcore racer.

Factory Team 16mm flat & tapered shock pistons

From Team Associated come these new flat and tapered Factory Team 16mm shock pistons for RC8B3 and RC8T3 series 16mm shocks. Machined from high quality Delrin, they add more tuning options to dial in suspension settings. Flat pistons have equal compression and rebound, making them ideal on smoother surfaces, while tapered pistons have less resistance when the shaft is traveling in the direction of the taper angle. If the taper angle is set down, the piston will have less resistance in rebound and more resistance during compression and this is what makes tapered pistons more ideal on rough surfaces.
