The latest JConcepts option part of the Team Associated RC10 Classic is this aluminium rear motor plate. Resembling the original plate combined with modern day design cues such as the milled-out honeycomb sections the motor mount is light of weight but very rigid at the same time, making for a sturdy platform for brushed and brushless motors. The original “raised” heatsink shield is slightly modified for improved looks and to lower the weight while still being strong. The motor mounting slots are built in a radius to smoothly rotate the motor to the desired position while the silver chamfered edges give the hole part a “2013” apperance. The plate comes in blue and black colour and fitsthe RC10 Classic as well as all original RC10 and RC10T.

The annual Fall Brawl was held at the Badlands R/C facility in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The event had nearly 300 entries, but mother nature wasn’t too friendly. The weather for practice on Friday was beautiful but Saturday and Sunday was a different story with rain off and on and much cooler temperatures. The Badlands crew worked on the track between the rain storms and got all the racing in, but had to shorten qualifying and main events. In the 1/8th Nitro Truck class TLR’s Adam Drake TQ’ed and won while he finished second in 1/8th Nitro Buggy behind Team Durango’s Ryan Lutz.
