JConcepts B4 T4 & SC10 aluminium accessories

JConcepts has released a number of new aftermarket parts to their line with the release of the steering system on the B4.1, T4.1 and SC10. This servo saver-less blue anodised aluminium steering system is CNC-machined and replaces the stock plastic bell-cranks providing a more rigid steering system with increased steering feel and response. The fit of the new bell-cranks has been improved by the positioning of the bearings to help eliminate binding when assembled. Also new is a beefed up aluminium rear wing / body mount for the rear of the B4 and T4. CNC-machined and available in blue or black, these mounts are designed in a creative but functional way to add rigidity to a high-impact area. Finally there is a pair of aluminium battery hold down thumb / wrench nuts available in blue and black.

JConcepts T4.1 Finnisher & Pressure Points

Seen in pre production guise previously, JConcepts have released their Finnisher 1/10th truck body for the T4.1 racing truck. The slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight. Also new for 1/10th truck is the Pressure Points in blue, green and gold compounds. They are the latest low-height tread option specifically designed to tame high-speed courses with either wet or blue groove traction conditions. The design starts as an angular, low pin design as a carryover from the successful Bar Codes front tire line-up. The small “points” combined with “lower case” Y elements developed on the original Bar Codes V1 rear tire provide the ultimate in surface area “pressure” penetration and tack.
