JConcepts B74.1 S2 bodyshell

JConcepts have adapted one of their most popular bodies to fit the new B74.1 from Team Associated. Dubbed the S2, the new shell rocks some familiar features but rolled together with a low-profile stance it is a performer straight out of the package and includes the S-type rear wing to help deliver results on any racing circuit. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Coming supplied with two of S-type rear wings, the S2 is available in regular and lightweight versions.

JConcepts RC10B2 carbon fibre front shock tower

The RC10B2, one of the most popular RC vehicles in the mid 1990’s has a new carbon fibre shock tower courtesy of JConcepts. The stock vehicle comes standard with a twin up-right unit which carries all the original geometry, however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength, and appearance that the JConcepts tower can provide. The new front shock tower features a connected tower design with X centre giving that all important strength. It also includes detailed and reinforced areas in the large pocketed area, adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the front-end.

Factory Team RC8B3 4-shoe steel flywheel

Team Associated now offer a new optional Factory Team 4-shoe steel flywheel for the RC8B3. A direct replacement for the standard aluminium version (12 grams), the steel flywheel (36 grams) is heavier and therefore increases the overall rotating mass of the clutch assembly. This offers a more stable engine idle and a smoother bottom end throttle feel.
