JConcepts RC10 Classic carbon options

The RC10, the most classic design in R/C history has been reintroduced to the public and available options parts are in high demand. JConcepts is spot on with the release of the new vehicle with Carbon Fiber options for the front and rear shock towers as well as the transmission brace. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry; however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength and appearance that Carbon Fiber can provide. The new towers maintain the stock geometry and are reinforced with the rear tower offering additional adjustment holes while the new brace creates a more rigid assembly in each direction giving the racers a more solid feel in rear suspension and also resists chassis rear-end tweak and bending issues.

JConcepts RC10 Classic Detonator body

With the return of Team Associated’s RC10 Classic JConcepts introduce the Detonator body shell. The spirit of the Detonator lives in the 1980’s, starting with the rear biased, over rear tower, hung cab, large window detail and roll-bar treatment outlining the stout individual pillars. The side-pods are simple, yet effectively cover the aluminium tub chassis and multiple side windows, including the vintage back window, stand out as class leading details. Included in each Detonator package is a 5.5” wing that is designed to sit flat on the geometry of the body and sits down and hugs the back of the body. A full selection of gurney options on the rear of the wing gives racers a selection of heights to trim to, depending on the level of traction. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode. The body comes clear and includes the 5.5″ wing, window masks and decals.
