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.

Reflex Racing RSD TC6.2 lightweight suspension kit

Reflex Racing introduce the RSD lightweight suspension kit for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car. The parts not only shave weight, but also offer a revised geometry, with the front arms being wider and the rears being narrower, which makes the car more consistent and faster over a full race compared to the stock components. These parts are also far tougher and do not have quite the slop the stock parts have on the car. Included in the kit, that is available for pre-order now, are front and rear carbon arms, 4 degree C-hubs, rear hub carriers, outer hinge pins, arm shims, AE compatible rod ends and ball cups as well as pivot bushings and king pins along necessary hardware.

Schelle B44.2 shorty battery conversion kit

Schelle B44.2 shorty conversion kit

Schelle Racing Innovations introduce a shorty conversion kit for the company’s already available B44.2 aluminium chassis. Upon the release of the chassis in March, many racers took notice that an upcoming shorty pack conversion was built into the Schelle design. The Schelle shorty conversion design allows for lighter weight by shedding around 80g of battery weight going from a saddle pack to a shorty. Optimised component placement on the chassis gives the car almost identical weight bias to a saddle pack car, but now in a lighter and more agile package. The lighter weight also benefits jumping and landing, with the shocks carrying less weight on takeoffs and landings. The shorty layout is more mass centralised, with heavier components closer to the centre of the car which gives the feeling of faster and more smooth rotation through the turns. The conversion will be a limited edition with only two production batches. The first batch of B44.2 shorty conversions are available for pre-order now.

After releasing a whole load of Silencer design bodyshells JConcepts now comes back to the popular Finnisher body that soon will become available for Team Associated’s B5M buggy.
