JConcepts RC10B7 Alu Option Parts

JConcepts has just dropped a number of new option parts for Team Associated RC10 2WD Buggy.  The parts include a new motor plate which they have intentionally kept rather beefy due to the evolution of racetracks on which high flying jumps are becoming the normal obstacle.  They have recessed the depth for the motor mount screws slightly and added a traditional chamfer highlight to the edge. Countersunk locations for the standard kit hardware make mounting this item very simple.  Featuring the JC logo for brand authenticity, the motor plate is available in blue and black anodised colours, like all the new releases.  On its new rear ball-stud mount, JConcepts say security and precision are the best ways to describe it.  The rear ball-stud mount is under a tremendous amount of stress in today’s racing atmosphere with this CNC-machined aluminium mount ready to drop into place using the standard kit hardware.  Tuning locations remain consistent with the factory performance.  Staying at the rear of the buggy they have also released new rear hub link mounts.  Adding a bit of JConcepts to the rear hub carrier assembly with the all-aluminium construction, they feature stock geometry mounting positions.  On the outside of the part, a recess has been added to reduce weight, and an added silver chamfer adds to the overall fit and finish to any vehicle.  Other items included in the release are a 12.3-gram aluminium electronics plate and a black aluminium 6-gram servo weight plate.

JConcepts F2 | S2 released for Losi Micro B

With Losi’s Micro B 1:24 2WD Buggy proving hugely popular for the American brand, Florida based JConcepts has decided to shrink its popular competition spec F2 and S2 buggy bodies and offer them for this little buggy.  For the Micro class vehicle, JConcepts took the time to produce a scaled down version of the originals. JConcepts has also released a micro version of their carpet | turf | dirt rear wing, which has also been downsized and provides downforce in a variety of conditions on the racing circuit. After driving the Micro, the JConcepts team decided to add a little additional size to this wing to provide even more aero benefits over the stock component.

Team Associated RC10 4WD Kit

After all the various edition RC10 kit releases comes something new from Team Associated with the release of the RC10 4WD Buggy.  The iconic RC10 is now available as a 4WD race buggy with everything included in one box.  Build a high-performance race buggy from the 90s that is meant to be raced, using the latest electronics of your choice.  At the inaugural IFMAR Off Road World Championships, Jay Halsey took first place with his RC10 in the 2WD class but he also took second place in 4WD with a prototype 4WD.  Team Associated never advanced that prototype 4WD and instead focused on 2WD.  Now however the AE engineers have taken the iconic RC10, the knowledge of 4WD racing from the B74, and created the RC10 4WD.  The kit includes clear polycarbonate ProTech body with driver figure, 5.5” high-downforce wing, full ball bearings, CVA driveshafts, vintage front and rear 4WD spike tires, all on the classic gold anodised 6061-T6 monocoque tub chassis.
