JConcepts RC10GT rear shock tower

The most classic nitro stadium truck design in RC history, JConcepts has released a Carbon Fibre Rear Shock Tower option for the Team Associated RC10GT.  The stock vehicle comes standard with a fiberglass unit which carries all the original geometry; however, it lacks the pizzazz, strength, optional holes and appearance that 3.0mm Carbon Fibre can provide.  The new rear shock tower includes the Factory Team Truck geometry as well as the original for the best handling characteristics from that era.  The tower includes detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the rear-end.

RC-Project 1:8 Brushless Motor Mount

Italy’s RC-Project has released a new fan mount designed for 1:8 brushless motors with diameters ranging from 39 to 41.5mm.  Also compatible with 30mm and 40mm fans, it is made from a single piece of Ergal 7075 T6 offering high structural rigidity and lightweight properties and ensuring resistance to vibrations and stability during operation.  The surface treatment enhances corrosion and wear resistance.  The asymmetric design optimises airflow directed towards the motor, promoting more effective heat dissipation compared to competing solutions, this configuration allows for superior thermal management, reducing the risk of overheating and improving the motor’s operational efficiency and longevity.  An ideal choice for high performance even under demanding conditions.

Schumacher Azami 1:10 Offroad Tyre

Schumacher has added another new tyre to it’s 1:10 Offroad line-up, this time with the release of the Azami.  With the demands of carpet racing pushing tyres to the limit the British manufacturer is happy to give an alternative to the popular Cactus tyre by bringing out the Azami.  Their R&D team have developed a high density centre pin formation for durability and grip on CRC/EOS type carpets.  The outer pin formations give the car good side bite but without a compromise to the car’s steering.  The Azami can also work well on used carpet for an improved club driving experience.
