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.

JConcepts pre-mounted Pin Swag & Fuzz Bites

JConcepts now offer their latest carpet tires, the Fuzz Bite front and rear as well as the Pin Swag rear as pre mounts on either white or yellow Mono rims. The Fuzz Bite lands on a low-profile carcass carried over from tires such as the Twin Pin. The low stance provides quick transition at high-speed and minimises side-wall deflection and roll. The pin is specially built in a reverse “water tower” shape planting the larger base at the bottom and narrowing at the top for precision. The pins are placed in a radius and repeated about for a healthy nest of pins to dig deep into matting in office carpet or tight knit CRC carpeting. The Swag is split down the centre to give a little individual control to contort to surfaces. In between, a stagger section with angular front is placed just behind a vertical rib to complete the design. The tight spacing of the Pin and Swag bite together and minimise wear across the carcass. An already low-profile carcass rolls through the turns and transitions well at high and low speeds.
