JConcepts RC10T nose piece, bellcrank & nose brace

JConcepts have released three new option parts for the classic Team Associated RC10T. One of the primary differences between an RC10 and an RC10T is the aluminium front nose piece. Made for a longer suspension arm setup, the RC10T nose piece is significantly narrower to accommodate truck specific geometry. Re-creating the masterful item was no easy task given the number of bends and changes in positioning throughout the part. The team at JConcepts took on the challenge for vintage enthusiasts to give new life to a resting generation of Team Associated stadium trucks.

JConcepts pre-mounted Pin Swag & Fuzz Bites

JConcepts now offer their latest carpet tires, the Fuzz Bite front and rear as well as the Pin Swag rear as pre mounts on either white or yellow Mono rims. The Fuzz Bite lands on a low-profile carcass carried over from tires such as the Twin Pin. The low stance provides quick transition at high-speed and minimises side-wall deflection and roll. The pin is specially built in a reverse “water tower” shape planting the larger base at the bottom and narrowing at the top for precision. The pins are placed in a radius and repeated about for a healthy nest of pins to dig deep into matting in office carpet or tight knit CRC carpeting. The Swag is split down the centre to give a little individual control to contort to surfaces. In between, a stagger section with angular front is placed just behind a vertical rib to complete the design. The tight spacing of the Pin and Swag bite together and minimise wear across the carcass. An already low-profile carcass rolls through the turns and transitions well at high and low speeds.

From Exotek Racing for the Losi 22S Drag racing car come two new options, the first being this heavy duty pro style rear body mount. Constructed of stiffer 3mm carbon fibre plate that attaches to an alloy mounting base that matches the stock geometry when assembled.

Also new are these heavy duty alloy suspension arm mounts with adjustable toe and anti squat for the Losi 22S Drag car. By using TLR 22 5.0 pivot inserts (not included) in the rear mount you are able to adjust the rear toe in from 0° to 4° as well as the anti squat. True pro racer features with heavy duty construction along with tuning adjustability makes this a must have item.

O.S. Speed B21 Ongaro Edition

Davide Ongaro has his first Ongaro Edition O.S. Speed B21, having joined the Japanese brand at the start of 2021. Modified according to his own feelings, it is based on the latest O.S. Speed B2104 off-road engine. The crankshaft has been changed to a counter web shape and uses of single tungsten weight specially made for this engine to suit his driving style. The inner head also has a specially designed combustion chamber, and the synergistic effect of these gives a smooth feeling and more powerful top end. In addition, the outer head adopts a standard round type, and sports Ongaro’s original logo mark. A new size φ5.8mm / φ6.3mm black anodised restrictor is also used for the carburettor to create an “Engine that can win big races” that matches his requirements. They will also have a combo set that includes the TB02 (also known as T-2090) EFRA 2089 tuned silencer with MB01-75 (75mm) manifold.
