JConcepts RC10B7 Steering Kit

JConcepts has introduced a new steering bellcrank system for the Team Associated RC10B7 2WD Buggy.  Available in blue or black anodised finish, it allows the driver to adjust the height of the steering rack ball-stud instead of the bellcrank system.  A quicker adjustment for the racer and less disassembly required each time, the steering rack features a steel insert that can be oriented in an upper or lower position mimicking the standard adjustment of moving the bellcranks up or down.  The all-metal and machined parts combine to form a solid package capable of being tuned quickly.

Another option provided on the parts, is a new pick-up point for the steering arm.  The steering arm which comes from the servo of the vehicle to the bellcranks, can now be moved to a position which has more mechanical hold or power.  JConcepts has included a tall ball-stud and button head screw which allows placement of a new point directly above the rack.  To use this position, it is necessary to remove some top-deck material for full steering throw and use a 0 offset servo horn to locate the ball-stud further back.  In addition, the stock position is also designed into the assembly to use standard hardware to assemble like stock components.  For this build, its necessary to use the AE kit included bearings for the steering bellcranks and steering rack. This includes also using the AE kit supplied steering hat bushing from the bottom to assist the new JConcepts assembly.
