Tested and debuted by Ryan Maifeld at the Team Associated Off-Road Championships in Las Vegas, JConcepts has released this Aluminium Steering Bellcrank set for the RC10 1989 Stealth.

The parts are available in blue or black anodising and feature silver chamfered edged highlighting and laser-etched JC logo for brand authenticity. The bellcranks are bearing supported with heavy-duty flanged bearings and include threaded standoffs.

JConcepts RC10B7.1 | B84 Striker Body

Introducing its latest 1:10 offroad racing body, JConcepts has released the new Striker for both the RC10B7.1 2WD Buggy and B84 4WD Buggy from Team Associated. Inspired by one of the fastest closed-wheel racing vehicles in the world, the LMP, the standout feature is the wrap-around cab with sunglass style window treatment. During the 2010’s, Brian Kinwald sported this style window design on some of his off-road race cars and JConcepts used a combination of his inspiration with theirs to form the new pod style cab. Over the rear-end, a newly built stabilising fin rises in height toward the rear of the shell to provide P2 style and performance characteristics. The front of the ramping feature blends into a tiny roof scoop reminiscent of the BJ4 Worlds Edition and provides a small finishing touch to the centre section of the body. The sidepods are the simplest yet from JConcepts, rolling shapes, radius edges with variable blended heights float over trouble spots in the chassis geometry and inner electronic concerns. Available in standard and lightweight thickness polycarbonate, the rear portion of the 2WD body includes features to cover spur gear shroud while still appearing as an intergraded component into the overall concept. The rear portion of the 4WD body includes features to cover the rear of the vehicle while still appearing as an intergraded component into the overall concept.
