Check out this video shot by DVS shoes featuring the 10th anniversary celebration of Kerry Getz’s Nocturnal Skate Shop. After Kerry gets pummeled with thousands of water balloons thrown by the neighborhood kids, they head over to Bam Margolin’s house where Kerry busts out his SC10 to hit some ‘gnarly’ skate ramps. Not to mention there is awesome skating throughout the whole video.

Team Associated’s SC10 RS (Race-Spec) is a Ready-To-Run R/C replica of the trucks driven in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. After winning the 2010 ROAR National Championships the SC10RS has received some major upgrades including the water-resistant high-power XP SC700 Brushless Speed Control and a water-resistant enclosed receiver box. The suspension also received an upgrade with the addition of adjustable blue anodized aluminum V2 coil-over shocks. The 2.6:1 ratio gearbox includes a sealed gear differential with new heavy-duty internal gears and the externally adjustable V2 slipper clutch.

RPM SC8 front & rear A-arms

RPM front and rear A-arms for the Associated SC8 & RC8B are tough as nails and designed to take some serious punishment. Every aspect of the design on these arms is there to either improve strength or durability. Additionally, they’ve cleared the A-arms in areas known to rub on the stock A-arms, allowing extra droop for more suspension travel over rough terrain or big jumps. Both sets of arms feature molded-in shock mounts which means no more lost screws or extra weight from those screws on the arms. To help reduce slop in the suspension, they discarded the stock shock mount pin and setscrew in favor of a new 5-40 screw, which eliminates .004” of slop in the pivot and improves suspension accuracy. Leading and trailing 30-degree edges on the a-arms help the vehicle transition up and over objects too tall for the suspension to clear and, as a side benefit, those angles improve suspension aerodynamics.

JConcepts Rulux wheel for SC10 & XXX-SCT

By popular demand JConcepts is bringing the Rulux 12mm hex design to the SC10, SC10 4×4, XXX-SCT and similar wheel offset applications. Rulux wheels are 1:1 inspired and no detail has been missed with these beauties as the Rulux wheel incorporates a lug nut and spoke affect that emulates the real thing. Wheel profile, interior and exterior ribbing and spoke design were all areas of focus while creating the combination of durability, clearance, functionality and appearance. To use the 12mm hex wheel on the SC10 or XXX-SCT it requires an inboard hub conversion for the front and JConcepts new hex adapter at the rear. Precision machined and blue anodised aluminium features a clamping style design that combines durability and functionality.

Toy Fair 2011 – Short Course round-up

Having covered the toy fair in depth for Red RC we decided to bring together all the short course related releases for an easy overview, beginning with Durango. On display at their German distributors stand, the Durango DESC410R was making its public debut. Having written in depth about the car here, its basically a longer and wider version of the successful DEX410, with the chassis is made from a sandwich of materials that creates a strong and very stiff backbone for the car, something that could not have been achieved with the aluminium side skirts used on the 1/10th buggy.
