AKA Impact Evo 1/10 buggy tyres

AKA Impact Evo 1/10 buggy tyres

Available now from AKA is the Impact Evo tyre range for 1/10 off-road buggies. Designed to fit AKA’s Evo wheels the tyre features a dense small square lug pattern with offset lug rows in the centre of the tyre to deliver maximum forward traction and good wear characteristics. The two outer rows of lugs are parallel to create a circumferential groove at the edge of the tire to give the tyre very predicable side bite. This allows the car to rotate in the centre of the turn while still feeling very stable and predictable entering and exiting the turn. Available in soft and super soft compounds as tyre with red insert or as pre-mounts on white or yellow Evo wheels.

Available soon from JConcepts are these Finnisher wing buttons for the RC10 buggy. Wing mounts, typically a plastic unit, can strip easily while trying to tighten the assembly. With the Finnisher aluminium wing buttons and threaded 4-40 holes, bearing down on the set-screw is easier and helps maintain a more standardised position during racing. The buttons, built in a familiar pattern for JConcepts, include a pass-through hole with chamfered edges on the hole exit for a smoother build with the wing wire. Available in blue and black colour options the buttons also fit other (vintage) buggies with wire-type wing mount.

JConcepts RC10 Classic aluminium rear motor plate

JConcepts RC10 Classic aluminium rear motor plate

The latest JConcepts option part of the Team Associated RC10 Classic is this aluminium rear motor plate. Resembling the original plate combined with modern day design cues such as the milled-out honeycomb sections the motor mount is light of weight but very rigid at the same time, making for a sturdy platform for brushed and brushless motors. The original “raised” heatsink shield is slightly modified for improved looks and to lower the weight while still being strong. The motor mounting slots are built in a radius to smoothly rotate the motor to the desired position while the silver chamfered edges give the hole part a “2013” apperance. The plate comes in blue and black colour and fitsthe RC10 Classic as well as all original RC10 and RC10T.
