ARC R10 2015 touring car kit

ARC introduce the R10 2015 1/10th 4WD touring car kit. Using feedback collected from drivers at all levels around the world, ARC have further refined the chassis with the main objectives to give more steering, more mechanical grip and maximum side bite to maintain higher corner speeds, with the goal to improve lap times of club and international level racers alike. First up is a new upper deck that offers less screw holes for durability while the new shape of the front of the top deck allows more flex towards the front of the chassis promoting more steering. An added benefit of the short split front is added clearance for the latest generation of Lipo batteries using 5mm plugs.

JConcepts B5M Finnisher bodyshell

After releasing a whole load of Silencer design bodyshells JConcepts now comes back to the popular Finnisher body that soon will become available for Team Associated’s B5M buggy. The Finnisher sports a smoother high-speed transition with increased flow past the side-pods that lends itself perfect to high-speed circuits. As track conditions have advanced through additives, treatments and maintenance, the ultimate aero package flows through the turns, produces traction and jumps with consistency. The body is capped off with a centre roof channel for high speed tracking stability, increased roof stiffness and dual side window treatment. Included with the body come two 6.5″ Hi-Clearance rear wings.
