JConcepts J21 Javelin F6 formula body shell

Following a somewhat unofficial introduction of their first ever touring car body shell at the recent CETC round in Shanghai, JConcepts have now officially announced the J21 Javelin formula body for the Team Associated F6 1/10th formula car. The concentration of design aspects include a tight fit around the front suspension and main chassis shape. The J21 fits like a top-shelf race body including coverage over the motor and rear axle. The bottom-plate is inventive and helps rear down force in a way that lends itself to a 2017 design. The driver compartment is low-profile with the driver tucked away for the quickest stance possible. The driver helmet is formed separately providing a light-weight alternative to heavy injected moulded plastic used on other models. The design allows for easy painting and detailing of the helmet while the cockpit is accessible enough for decals. Behind the drivers helmet stands the upper cooling engine scoop which transforms into a large stabilising fin for added tracking ability. The side-pods feature under-cutting and recessed areas for vent cut-outs or adding included decals. The entire body packs one of the most sleek looks in class while bolstering a super low-profile design making it highly attractive as a racer and most comparable to the full-scale counterparts. A complete J21 Javelin decal sheet is included for maximum exposure and detailing for the ultimate in show and go.

JConcepts B6 front camber link mount bulkhead

JConcepts have introduced their new 2-piece front camber link mount bulkhead for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies. The 2-piece design incorporates durable material, looks and tuning into a single package. The front camber link mount sports all three popular mounting locations and features a blended design which connects to the front bulkhead forming a unique, stout package. The bulkhead itself has all the tricks. Starting from a small square of a aluminium, the part has been mastered into a pocketed, threaded and high-performance unit complete with 3mm threaded holes, anodising and laser etching. Joining the two pieces together blends the parts and creates the valley for the sway-bar location. The sway-bar area is compatible with standard AE hardware and optional sway bar kit. The aluminium camber link mount and bulkhead combined with the plastic AE suspension mount weigh in at about 28.5g without hardware making it a tuning adjustment and it can be mixed and matched with AE and JC parts to create a load of different weight bias settings.

Team Associated B64 Factory Team option parts

Team Associated have introduced a range of new Factory Team option parts for the B64 range of 1/10th 4WD buggies. First up are aluminium rear hubs in blue or black colour. The uprights are of a symmetrical design, they allow for axle height adjustment and the vertical camber link ball stud mounting helps to achieve finer roller centre adjustments. Also new are +2 FT steering arm blocks. Laser-etched for easy identification, the parts add more Ackermann than the stock plates which results in smoother steering response. Last but not least comes the FT LRC arm mount B made of heavy brass material. A direct fit for the standard LRC arm mount B, the part adds weight to the front of the buggy, it lowers the centre of gravity and improves front end consistence through high speed corners.
