PerfTec GraviDisk Tungsten balance weights

Dutch company PerfTec have introduced their new GraviDisk Tungsten balance weights. Designed for the use with pretty much every on-road and off-road car, the weights are of a very compact design that could be achieved by using high-density Tungsten metal, a material that offers about double the density of bronze and 2.5-times the density of steel, meaning at the same weight of a bronze or steel weight, Tungsten weights are significantly smaller, allowing for easier placement and less wasted chassis space. The basic disc design was chosen to simplify production of the unique metal in order to keep the discs affordable for racers of all levels. The weight discs have an outside diameter of 13mm and are available in two heights: 2.5mm, weighing 6g and 4.0mm, weighing in at 9.5g a piece. The stackable weights feature an inner 3mm hole, making attachment to chassis plates using spare chassis holes a breeze. The GraviDisk weights come as 2-piece sets of the same dimension/weight or as 4-piece set containing two of each weight. The set also includes stainless steel M3 mounting hardware in the form of countersunk screws and self-locking nuts – all packed in a handy stackable box that can be re-used for storing all sorts of RC hardware.

Team Associated RC10T3 authentic body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new authentic body shell for the Team Associated RC10T3 truck. One of the most sought-after looks in the vintage RC community is the look of a stadium truck from the 1990’s and racers love the T3. JConcepts, with approval from Team Associated, have reintroduced the genuine RC10T3 body shell to the masses. This allows the faithful to recreate, rebuild and race with authentically styled bodies from the heyday of competitive stadium truck racing. A lot of work went into making this project a reality and thankfully, Team Associated preserved the iconic mould from the 1997 calendar year. JConcepts was able to restore the older generation construction and with a blend of today’s materials, the RC10T3 body is back out on the market. Everyone knows the iconic RC10T styles, the front hood-scoop which is forged over the front shock geometry along with dead-panned front headlights and grille. The neutral cab design with built-in number plates and roll-bar stand-out which enthusiasts know as Team Associated stadium trucks. The T3 body shape was overall much softer than the previous generations which was more durable and fit well into the 90’s racing scene. The lengthy rear spoiler provided some much-needed rear downforce for slippery race conditions. Each package includes window mask, and clear polycarbonate body with rear spoiler but no decal sheet.
