Team Associated RC10 Masami Edition ’89 Stealth Car Kit

At the 1989 IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Australia, a certain Masami Hirosaka drove the then groundbreaking RC10 “Stealth” car to victory and now in its latest re-release series Team Associated are giving fans & collectors the chance to own one.  The 1989 Team Associated Stealth Car prototype was a radical evolution of the RC10 platform, purpose-built for top-tier competition at the IFMAR World Championships.  Designed in secrecy, it featured several innovative elements that set a new benchmark in 2WD offroad buggy performance.  Most notably, it introduced the Stealth transmission—a compact, three-gear unit with an internal slipper clutch.  Unlike the bulkier six-gear design of the original RC10, the Stealth transmission offered smoother, more efficient power transfer and a lower centre of gravity.

JConcepts RC10 4WD Carbon Fibre Shock Towers

With option parts in high demand for the recently released RC10 4WD from Team Associated, JConcepts has released Carbon Fibre front and rear shock towers.  The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry but lacks the strength that Carbon Fibre can provide.  The new JC front shock tower includes only the wide-track front suspension geometry and is designed specifically for drivers upgrading to the longer front A-arm version of the RC10.  The rear shock tower maintains the RC10 4WD geometry but also includes more adjustment holes including holes found on the race inspired RC10 Worlds car.  Both towers include detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response.

JConcepts RC10B7 Silent Speed spur gears

JConcepts has introduced the Silent Speed line of spur gears for the RC10B7 2WD Buggy from Team Associated.  Silent Speed spur gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more ‘silence’ on the racetrack.  The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance.  The gears are marked for size, so they are identifiable unassembled.  Silent Speed spur gears are also branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity.  The 48P Silent Speed spur gears are available in 70, 72, 75, 78, and 81T.

Kyosho Inferno MP11 1:8 Buggy

Following the showing of a ‘Prototype’ Inferno MP11 at the recent 25th anniversary of the Kyosho Masters, the Japanese manufacturer has released official images of their new 1:8 Buggy kit offering.  The first full model change since the MP10 launched in January 2019, while continuous updates have kept the MP10 updated, the MP11 takes a leap forward with an all-new design.  Key changes include a newly developed main chassis, revised suspension and drivetrain systems, and an all-new body — all engineered for elite racing performance.  One of the most significant changes is the revised front/rear weight distribution. With a more front-biased balance compared to the MP10, the MP11 delivers remarkably smooth handling that reduces driver stress.  Coupled with optimised suspension geometry, the MP11 also achieves higher cornering speeds.  The range of adjustable settings has been greatly expanded, and workability has been significantly improved — critical advantages for adapting to different track sizes and surfaces around the world.  The MP11 also debuts a completely redesigned body and a new rear wing with matching wing stays, offering high-level aerodynamic performance perfectly tuned to the chassis.

R1 Wurks B7 Ultra-Light Pro Slipper Eliminator System

R1 Wurks has released its latest iteration of their slipper eliminator system for the Team Associated B7 platform.  The focus of the Ultra-Lightweight Pro Slipper Eliminator System is on significant weight reduction, particularly in areas affecting rotational inertia, resulting in faster drivetrain spool-up, improved acceleration, and enhanced overall efficiency.  This was achieved by eliminating traditional gear-mounting screws and replacing them with a single lightweight aluminium nut, which not only reduces rotational mass but also ensures a secure, warp-free gear mount.  The Ultra lightweight comes in at just 3.4 grams (excluding gear weight) and comes with lightweight R1 Wurks titanium top shaft screw, an aluminum Lock nut, and is compatible with most aftermarket gears, including Kimbrough (gear not included).  The system comes complete with its own 8mm wrench.
