Team Associated RC10 2025 Metallic Edition Kit

Team Associated continue the roll out of special editions of its RC10 with the release of yet another ‘colour’ option of the iconic 1:10 2WD buggy.  The story behind the RC10 2025 Metallic Edition Kit goes that ‘on December 5th, 1984 the All-American designed Team Associated RC10 was introduced to the RC world. Being the first to take home the gold in both the ROAR National and IFMAR 2WD World Championships, the RC10 secured its place as a legend in RC car history. This year (2025) marks the 41st anniversary of the RC10 and we are proud to offer this special limited 2025 Metallic Edition kit. Staying true to the original, this anniversary kit features the same race car technology introduced in the 80s.’

JConcepts XB8’25 P2 Body

JConcepts has released its P2 body shell for the Xray XB8’25 1:8 Buggy platform with new Xray team signing and JConcepts team driver Dakotah Phend having tested the body at the Southern Indoor Championships.  The P2 design debuted in 1:8 at the last year’s Mugen Challenge and was then used at IFMAR 1:8 Offroad World Championship in Spain, having originally been created for the 1:10 racing.  Key features of the P2 design are a tall stabilising fin on the rear of the body as well as a small mini fin placed behind the rear of the cab that does not interfere with the engine head.  In the rear, the ramping feature that is so popular on the P2, creeps up behind the cab and engine head to create extra force and stability.  The P2 is offered in both standard and lightweight options and each arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film.
