Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a FWD chassis conversion kit for the Xray T4 touring car. Developed for the use with 2019 down to 2013 variants of the ultra-popular touring car, the conversion includes a new single-piece machined aluminium motor and servo mount with integrated flex adjustments, an ultra-precise stainless steel main shaft, a new servo bridge for optimised servo positioning, a newly developed slider steering assembly, and two types of battery mounts for easy balance adjusting. Also included are the machined spur gear mount and centre pulley, and a unique rear body stay mount that utilises Xray X1 caster inserts to allow for easy body height adjustments. The conversion kit is available including a carbon fibre or Rebellion-RC’s signature CrossFlex aluminium chassis, the latter allows for easy weight balance and torsional flex adjustments using optional brass inserts.

JConcepts RC10T Team truck body

JConcepts have announced the release of their Team Associated RC10T Team truck body. When Team Associated decided to pull the trigger and build a 1/10th Stadium truck, they went all-the-way. In the process, a class was ignited and the RC10T was born. One of the most sought-after looks in the vintage RC community is the look of a stadium truck from the 1990’s and racers love the 10T. There might have been no better look than the RC10T and RC10GT during the golden age of stadium truck and the body design had a lot to do with it. JConcepts, with approval from Team Associated, have reintroduced the genuine RC10T Team Truck body shell to the masses. This allows the faithful to recreate, rebuild and race with authentically styled bodies from the heyday of competitive stadium truck racing. A lot of work went into making this project a reality and thankfully, Team Associated preserved the iconic mould from the 1993 calendar year. JConcepts was able to restore older generation construction and with a blend of today’s materials, the RC10T body is back out on the market. Everyone knows the iconic style, the front hood-scoop which is forged over the front shock geometry along with dead-panned front headlights and grille. The neutral cab design with built-in number plates and roll-bar stand-out which gave enthusiasts their first memory of racing stadium trucks. The quarter round wheel well flares added a bit of realism to the design while the lengthy rear spoiler provided some much-needed rear downforce for slippery race conditions. The body comes with window masks but no decal sheet.
