RC-Project RC8B4.1 30g Rear Chassis Weight

New from Italian option parts brand RC-Project comes this 30-gram Rear Chassis Weight for the Team Associated RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy.  The latest weight features a redesigned structure that centralises mass distribution compared to the previous version.  This update provides improved stability in high-speed corners and better responsiveness during direction changes.  Unlike the previous model with a fixed position, the new version allows for forward weight adjustment, enabling fine-tuning of the mass distribution according to the driver’s specific needs.  Additionally, the lower geometry has been revised to ensure a mount that minimises contact surface with the chassis, significantly enhancing the chassis torsion.

Xray X4 CFF Front/Rear Lower Arms

Xray has released new CFF (Carbon Fibre Fusion) lower arms for its X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  The lower suspension arms feature optimised flexing under dampening and with the shock being mounted in the middle of the arm, the load is evenly distributed onto the suspension arm, which increases the mechanical traction, and response of the car.  Graphite hardness of the lower suspension arms is recommended for carpet tracks and even for some high traction asphalt conditions.  These will provide the most consistent handling and will make the car more free in corners compared to when H or M arms are used.

JConcepts JCI RC10T bodies

New from JConcepts comes these two JCI RC10T bodies, the 1991 Winter Champs Wide and 1993 Winter Champs Narrow examples.  The Florida based company has re-created the classic stadium truck body (grey painted scheme) used during the release of the RC10T at the 1991 Winter Championships in Lutz, Florida.  The original styled design is wide and carries a unique look, fit, and includes a spoiler look that is secured to the tailgate area giving it a tremendous racing look.  During the early months of 1993, the Associated team fought back at the Winter Championships with updated and revised parts, along with a narrower body covered many of the team driver’s vehicles during this event. This marked a new movement for drivers looking for the slim style design, hugging the chassis a little closer, more room for adjustment on the front shock tower, and a spoiler which mounts on top of the bed in the rear of the shell.  The JConcepts body captures the look and provides a gap against the chassis to give racers the Stadium Truck look popular in the 90’s. JConcepts, once sold the original RC10T body in the narrow configuration, so, in order to renew and complete the line-up, the JConcepts team took on the task of re-creating the original “wide” and “narrow” configurations for the fans of the #gojconcepts materials, packaging, window mask and decal sheet.
