JConcepts introduce new B74 & B6.1 optionals

JConcepts have announced the release of new option parts for the Team Associated B74 and B6.1 off-road kits. First up is a set of carbon fibre steering arms for the B74. They are precision machined from 2.5mm carbon fibre material to better outfit and shed some weight from the Team Associated B74 vehicle. The design team has pin-pointed the exact geometry locations of the steering arms and created them in the durable and lightweight material. The arms are symmetric so they can be used on either side of the vehicle and can be neatly installed with the standard kit hardware.

JConcepts RC10T Team truck body

JConcepts have announced the release of their Team Associated RC10T Team truck body. When Team Associated decided to pull the trigger and build a 1/10th Stadium truck, they went all-the-way. In the process, a class was ignited and the RC10T was born. One of the most sought-after looks in the vintage RC community is the look of a stadium truck from the 1990’s and racers love the 10T. There might have been no better look than the RC10T and RC10GT during the golden age of stadium truck and the body design had a lot to do with it. JConcepts, with approval from Team Associated, have reintroduced the genuine RC10T Team Truck body shell to the masses. This allows the faithful to recreate, rebuild and race with authentically styled bodies from the heyday of competitive stadium truck racing. A lot of work went into making this project a reality and thankfully, Team Associated preserved the iconic mould from the 1993 calendar year. JConcepts was able to restore older generation construction and with a blend of today’s materials, the RC10T body is back out on the market. Everyone knows the iconic style, the front hood-scoop which is forged over the front shock geometry along with dead-panned front headlights and grille. The neutral cab design with built-in number plates and roll-bar stand-out which gave enthusiasts their first memory of racing stadium trucks. The quarter round wheel well flares added a bit of realism to the design while the lengthy rear spoiler provided some much-needed rear downforce for slippery race conditions. The body comes with window masks but no decal sheet.

JConcepts have introduced their S15 body shell for the popular Team Associated RC8B3.1 1/8th scale buggy. The S15 blends performance features of the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean and a deep rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape.
