ARC A10 competition EP touring car

The A10 is ARC’s latest generation 1/10 electric touring car and it’s ready to hit the track. Built on a completely new platform, the A10 was developed with some key goals in mind – a lower centre of gravity, increased mechanical grip, easy maintenance & setup and full adjustability. The car features a new one-piece upper deck, helping the A10 to be super easy to drive out-of-the-box and suiting a wide range of track conditions. An optional two-piece design is available to independently tune the front and rear flex for racers looking to get the most out of their A10. The new one-piece motor bulkhead caters for both upper deck designs, allowing different flex options via both the chassis and top decks. The bottom of the motor bulkhead now also features a 3mm centre alignment pin to better locate the chassis when less chassis screws are used. This allows extra chassis flex to be dialled in with less likelihood of tweaking. The brand-new lower arms of the A10 are made from 3mm thick, high-quality carbon fibre plate and are stronger and lighter than traditional composite arms. The design of the new lower arms allows the arms to be moved further inboard for an even longer arm than the R12. Back-to-back testing has confirmed this new design to be even easier to drive while achieving greater corner speed.

JConcepts Slash & Rustler 4×4 motor plate & fan mount

The JConcepts team has designed a new motor plate and fan mount set for the Slash 4×4 and Rustler 4×4. First, the motor plate is machined from billet aluminium, has added honeycomb machining and is a durable update option over standard parts. Black anodising comes standard with silver chamfered high-lighted edging. Attaching to the motor mount, the fan mount is just as important with billet aluminium construction with lightweight and lower open design, angular mounting geometry, black anodised with silver chamfered high-lighted edging. The included hardware pieces the item together and provides an incredible platform for included fan. The included 30x30x10 aluminium housed fan has a medium-length wire with industry standard JST plug that can plug into many receiver combinations. Depending on the location of the receiver, a JST extension wire might need to be used (not included).

Carten T410FWD competition 1/10 electric TC kit

The Carten T410FWD competition 1/10 electric touring car kit is based on their T410R touring car but developed for competitive FWD racing. This chassis uses a front motor layout to get the best weight distribution and the shaft drive enables a very low friction drive train. This is supported by ball bearings in every part of the drive. Ball differentials ensure that a perfect set-up is possible for all track conditions.

JConcepts B6.4 Fin titanium stand-offs

Strength, performance and luster runs deep with the titanium stand-offs from JConcepts. The Fin Titanium items replace the standard parts and feature a light-weight design and with built-in threads are more easily adjustable than their counterparts. The 7mm hex based design allows adjustment with the most popular wrench in the RC arsenal but also tapers down featuring the Fin treatment found on the JConcepts turnbuckles. Included with the stand-offs, the white in colour Delrin pivot bushings are top-notch. The bushings are precision machined to slide on and off the titanium and allow the shocks floating freedom and just the correct amount of fore and aft movement. The 2-piece set includes two 3x8mm BHCS to secure the stand-offs to the shock tower and a standard 3mm locknut is used to finalise the assembly and secure the shock into position. This “medium” stand-off is a direct bolt-on part to the Team Associated B6.4 rear shock tower and also fits the B74.1 vehicle on the front and rear.

Rêve D Type TK suspension mount

Rêve D have introduced the new ‘Type TK’ for the rear (RF) in their lightweight and highly rigid aluminium suspension mount series. ‘Type TK’, which was developed by Takahiro Kawakami and the team, has two rod end ball mounting holes on the upper surface of the suspension mount. By attaching the upper arm to the suspension mount, a direct feeling is created in the movement of the rear suspension, and traction performance and control performance are dramatically improved. There are two types, #6 (57.2-60.4mm) and #7 (60.8-64.0mm), which can be used not only for MC-1 but also for YD-2 series.

JConcepts RM2 1/8th insert bands & tire bands

Two new items from the JConcepts RM2 brand with the release of new 1/8th buggy & truck tire bands and new red hot tire bands. The new RM2 buggy and truck insert bands are designed to fit in to the slots on inserts and resist insert expansion and shifting which leads to tire expansion. The band’s material construction is undersized and dimensioned to hold inserts firmly to the wheel and can be placed in any location on the insert that falls or locks into an existing groove. Next up, JConcepts together with Ryan Maifield have adapted a new style tire band to the arsenal for simplicity, purpose, and a tidy pit area. The moulded rubber bands feature some of the design details and construction and made the Satellite rubber bands so successful. For the RM2 version, the diameter has been tightened and handles removed to reduce storage space and increase snap for a variety of tires. The RM2 logo is embossed on the design, rotated about the centre and appear in Red Hot colouring.
