JConcepts RC10 Classic carbon options

The RC10, the most classic design in R/C history has been reintroduced to the public and available options parts are in high demand. JConcepts is spot on with the release of the new vehicle with Carbon Fiber options for the front and rear shock towers as well as the transmission brace. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry; however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength and appearance that Carbon Fiber can provide. The new towers maintain the stock geometry and are reinforced with the rear tower offering additional adjustment holes while the new brace creates a more rigid assembly in each direction giving the racers a more solid feel in rear suspension and also resists chassis rear-end tweak and bending issues.
