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.
Yeah Racing’s recently introduced aluminium wheel well marker is now also available in a black and gold colour variant. The tool helps marking wheel wells for easy cutting, and beside highlighting the actual wheel wells, owners can also mark the lower body cut line at 8mm, 9mm and 10mm height, ensuring consistency when prepping new body shells for carpet or asphalt racing. A machined centre section ensures good view of the wheel axle and besides offering a 65mm wheel well marking the tool also sports an inner 56mm section for M-chassis body shells.
JConcepts have introduced their next generation Aero S-Type 7” wide rear wing for 1/10th buggies. The wing includes options not yet seen before on a 1/10th off-road rear wing. An extended rear gurney lip makes tuning that much better for more grip on the loose surfaces while running the latest generation in off-road. The base of the wing design is built on the popular Aero wing but with new additions which make the wing more durable, more adjustable and ultimately a great tuning piece. The S-Type wing is a direct bolt-on piece for most 1/10th scale 2WD and 4WD off-road buggies. It features a long chord construction with revised section to incorporate some reinforced ribbing in the vertical plane below the over-hanging gurney. Cut-lines and dimpled locations are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options. The new 7” variant of the S-Type wing was used in competition during the 2019 IFMAR Worlds in Trencin, Slovakia for increased rear traction and it comes as a 2-piece set.
Coming from Pro-Line are the new 2020 Ram Rebel 1500 body shells for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 and Arrma Kraton 6S monster trucks. The Ram body is perfect for giving the popular monster truck a tough and modern Ram Rebel look while allowing the owner to paint and recreate its favourite full-size Ram Rebel or Big Horn edition truck since Pro-Line includes two different grill and headlight trim options along with other detailed graphics on the sticker sheet. The bodies come pre-cut and made to fit the E-Revo 2.0 with extended body mounts while the Kraton 6S body is a direct fit.
Coming soon from Pro-Line is their new pre-cut Air Force 2 HD 6.5” 1/10th buggy rear wing. The wing was designed with the latest in CAD technology to meet extreme performance and durability specifications. Huge radiuses on the wing corners prevent cracks from starting and allow air to flow smoothly over the wing for incredible performance. The wing is made from medium thickness polycarbonate for maximum strength while still being lightweight. Extra tyre clearance has been built into the wing to reduce tyre rub as much as possible during racing. The AF2 HD wing comes pre-cut, allowing for instant use after drilling the required mounting holes.
