Team Associated is entering the street stock dirt oval racing class with its SR10 Dirt Oval RTR. Often overlooked in the mainstream, dirt track racing is one of the most exciting forms of tire-scorching car racing action.

Add to that a Reedy metal-gear digital high-torque servo and a water-resistant enclosed receiver box. All of this packaged together in a factory-finished body with integrated rear spoiler. And to keep you sticking to the terrain, this SR10 beast will keep you cornering with the included high-grip street stock-inspired treaded tires and lightweight wheels.

Two new items from JConcepts, the Twin Pins 2wd rear pre-mounted tire and the Swagger pre-mounted 2wd front tire, both in pink compound. The Twin Pins feature a dual spike which is connected together to form a mini-mountain like silhouette. The Twins are rotated throughout the design to form a solid, pin rich environment so surface area is maximised. The tire carcass itself has been refined, slammed to low-profile, pre-mounted on #3348W or #3348Y wheels refined for high-speed standards and slimmed out to reduce weight in all possible areas. The centre section of the tire is connected at the base by an ultra-low, winding ‘river walk’ which strengthens pins near the base. The ‘river walk’ can also extend the longevity of the tire once the pins are gone, the ‘walk’ retains some height for emergency long distance main events. The outside of a tire can make or break side-bite, too much pin and the tire can be somewhat tippy, while not enough yields a squirrely vehicle. The very outside of the Twin Pins have legs which extend out to micro pins giving the racer all-important support turning high-speed corners.
Reedy’s new RC4020A HV Digital Competition crawler servo has been trail-tested and engineered for use in competition-level trail trucks, crawlers, and monster trucks. A powerful motor creates incredible torque without sacrificing speed, while an advanced microprocessor provides precision steering control. An all-metal gear set is designed for strength and durability while a CNC-machined full-aluminium case reduces operating temperatures for fade-free operation. Because the RC4020A features HV 8.4V compatibility, external BEC units can be utilised to create an incredible 50 kg-cm (695 in-oz) of torque.

JConcepts is pleased to announce a new partnership with USA-1 4×4 and owner Everett Jasmer on the creation of a new decal package for the 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition body. One of the most iconic names in the Monster Truck industry remains USA-1. The original built by Jasmer in the early 1980’s is a classic and features several notable items added to the legacy Chevy build that provides its stance, looks and branding package. With all the experience and expertise, the JConcepts decal set needed to be solid and after receiving all the photo assets of the vehicle, the JConcepts design team went to work recreating an icon. The body arrives clear in package with Chevrolet and JConcepts decal sheet along with window mask for ease of painting. Separately, the set also includes USA-1 4×4 decal sheet for the 1970 shell custom made and licensed through Everett Jasmer.
