JConcepts introduces a stylish, durable, and lightweight alternative Titanium turnbuckle kit for the popular original Team Associated RC10 and RC10 Classic vehicles in black colour. The base of the shafts design is centred around a .143” titanium hex size which gradually tapers down into a 3mm thread base design which accepts standard AE ball-cup configurations. The focus of the styling surrounds the lengthened adjustment hex area and the ‘fin’ cuts that rotate about the centre. The Fin turnbuckles are lightweight, and the original design brings out the glamour and quality that makes titanium one of the most sought, after exotic materials in the world. The JConcepts turnbuckles are produced with left- and right-hand threads with the left being conveniently marked for easy orientation. There are two sets, both include 8 pieces, which covers a complete RC10 & RC10 Classic or RC10 Championship Edition, Team car & Worlds car, including servo to steering turnbuckle and centre link between driving and idler bell crank.

From Exotek comes another heavy duty machined 7075 alloy differential case, this time for the TLR 5.0 G2 diff. Perfect machined roundness makes for a free spinning transmission and a must have for high powered drag racing applications and extra internal machining allows for extra fluid to be added for increased fluid capacity and life. This is much stronger than the stock plastic diff gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life.

JConcepts likes to lean on its roots, and dating back, there hasn’t been an RC monster truck version of the Ford Bronco available, until now. Starting with the F-150 and F-250 body shells already in the line-up, the JConcepts team dug into the Bronco project with some knowledge of the game. The 1989 Ford Bronco body built and fit for RC monster truck lovers offers first class styling and its exterior is accentuated with a smooth and molded front bumper. The 1989 Bronco carries over the same body style from the previous generation yet sports a new rounded front clip that improves vehicle aerodynamics over its predecessors. The softened body lines around the cab which transition to the Bronco’s rear roof seem very seamlessly and full of vintage grunt. Large fender flares around the wheel wells provide the scale monster truck look and clearance for JConcepts Racing Tires.

Team Associated’s RC10B6.4 platform continues the trend of offering two kit configurations. Both kits include the next generation 13mm diameter big-bore shocks and springs to provide the ultimate in damping and stability. The larger diameter shocks reduce pressure inside the shock and minimise the effects of the shaft displacement. This allows the buggy to feel like it’s riding on an invisible cloud when you hit harsh jumps and landings. The chassis, front end, and steering system is optimised for running reduced caster and kickup, which excels on high speed, high grip surfaces. An updated steering system with adjustable height bellcranks helps racers minimise bumpsteer. In addition, the front suspension is equipped with new -1mm kingpin offset steering and caster blocks for smooth and predictable front end feel through the entire throw. The -1mm design pushes the steering pivot closer the centre of the front tire, keeping the front end flat through the entire steering throw.
