JConcepts RC10T2 carbon fibre rear shock tower

JConcepts is spot on with the release of this optional 3.0mm carbon fibre rear shock tower for the Associated RC10T2. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiber glass unit which carries all the original geometry, however it lacks the pizzazz, strength and appearance that carbon fibre can provide.

JConcepts RC10 & RC10 Worlds car titanium turnbuckles

JConcepts introduces a stylish, durable, and lightweight alternative Titanium turnbuckle kit for the popular original Team Associated RC10 and RC10 Classic vehicles in black colour. The base of the shafts design is centred around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts standard AE ball-cup configurations. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the ‘fin’ cuts that rotate about the centre. The Fin turnbuckles are lightweight, and the original design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought, after exotic materials in the world. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation. There are two sets, both include 8 pieces, which covers a complete RC10 & RC10 Classic or RC10 Championship Edition, Team car & Worlds car, including servo to steering turnbuckle and centre link between driving and idler bell crank.

Team Associated RC10B6.4 Team Kit

Team Associated’s RC10B6.4 platform continues the trend of offering two kit configurations. Both kits include the next generation 13mm diameter big-bore shocks and springs to provide the ultimate in damping and stability. The larger diameter shocks reduce pressure inside the shock and minimise the effects of the shaft displacement. This allows the buggy to feel like it’s riding on an invisible cloud when you hit harsh jumps and landings. The chassis, front end, and steering system is optimised for running reduced caster and kickup, which excels on high speed, high grip surfaces. An updated steering system with adjustable height bellcranks helps racers minimise bumpsteer. In addition, the front suspension is equipped with new -1mm kingpin offset steering and caster blocks for smooth and predictable front end feel through the entire throw. The -1mm design pushes the steering pivot closer the centre of the front tire, keeping the front end flat through the entire steering throw.

Team Associated DR10M drag race car kit

The mid-motor, 4-gear transmission in the all-new Team Associated DR10M drag race car offers the advantage of using motor torque rotation to apply downward force to the rear tires. These forces generate additional rear end squat for that off-the-line acceleration which offers more tire-to-surface area contact, giving the DR10M additional rear traction. The mid-motor set up shifts the weight distribution forward, reducing front-end lift. Additionally, the motor and tires share the same rotational direction, which produces quicker forward momentum to help you get a faster time across that finish line. Based on the successful DR10 drag race platform, the DR10M Team kit features a rear anti-roll bar, 28 precision ball bearings, fully adjustable suspension, vertical ball ends for roll centre adjustments, 2.6:1 ratio gearbox with heavy-duty sealed gear differential and externally adjustable V2 slipper clutch. The new Octalock spur gear and 11mm Octalock pads provide maximum consistency and higher torque capacity.

Exotek B6.3 heavy duty 7075 alloy diff case

From Exotek comes this heavy duty machined 7075 alloy differential case for the B6.3 & B6.2. Perfect machined roundness makes for a free spinning transmission and a must have for high powered drag racing applications and extra internal machining allows for extra fluid to be added for increased fluid capacity and life. This is much stronger than the stock plastic diff gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life.

Team Associated RC8B4 & B4e Team kit

Team Associated have released their new RC8B4 and B4e 1/8th buggies. Innovative front-end geometry with reduced kingpin inclination steering blocks places the wheel pivot in the centre of the front tire for increased stability and consistent steering through the entire steering throw. New gearboxes are specific to front and rear, with the front gearbox featuring a 3.5 deg. inclined pinion gear angle to straighten the centtr driveshaft for increased drivetrain efficiency and reduced phasing and vibration. The rear gearbox features a 0 deg. pinion gear angle and centre mounted rear chassis brace mount. A new front upper suspension arm design is designed to accommodate a wide range of flex and stiffness options with optional inserts to be made available for fine tuning flex and stiffness and will fit on the top or bottom of the arm. The arms also includes a moulded ‘wing’ insert for increased front-end downforce. There is also a new rear suspension and front lower suspension arm design too. A new rear wing mount has adjustable wing angle shims, significant strength improvements, an aerodynamic shape and extra clearance for shock position adjustment. The rear wing itself has more vertical fins for increased straight-line stability, a taller rear wickerbill height for increased downforce, increased strength in various areas to reduce bending fatigue and dimples on the backside as a template for cutout holes. Other updates include the rear chassis brace, new +1mm offset rear hub and for the gas version, a new fuel tank with many new features.
