JConcepts RC10T nose piece, bellcrank & nose brace

JConcepts have released three new option parts for the classic Team Associated RC10T. One of the primary differences between an RC10 and an RC10T is the aluminium front nose piece. Made for a longer suspension arm setup, the RC10T nose piece is significantly narrower to accommodate truck specific geometry. Re-creating the masterful item was no easy task given the number of bends and changes in positioning throughout the part. The team at JConcepts took on the challenge for vintage enthusiasts to give new life to a resting generation of Team Associated stadium trucks.

Associated B74.1 & T6.2 options

Two new items from Team Associated for the RC10B74.1 and the RC10T6.2. The new HT 0 carbon fibre steering block arms for the RC10B74.1 help make the steering less aggressive off centre with a smoother turn-in feel, which helps improve drivability in high-traction conditions. For the RC10T6.2, the new longer length CVA bone allows for the use of RC10B6.3 Wide Arm Mounts C and D on T6.2 and SC6.2 trucks. The longer driveshaft and wider arm mount give the truck more grip and stability on all surfaces.

JConcepts titanium 5.5 x 6mm ball studs

A sought-after piece in the RC world is the 5.5 x 6mm ball-ends which seemingly attach to just about every corner of the Team Associated line of vehicles and JConcepts Regulator behind axle steering assembly. Previously, the kit versions were very heavy steel items which is a lot of unnecessary weight. With the JConcepts Titanium pieces, the application is smooth and simple with a 2mm wrench while the lightweight material screws together very easily.
