Oregon based offroad aftermarket parts producer Vision Racing has released two new carbon fibre chassis for the marketing leading RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy from Team Associated. Offered in standard length and in a -4mm option, they feature a fully integrated billet aluminium front clip with bearing mounted sway bar mount and carbon fibre front camber link mount.
T-Works has updated their range of steel chassis skid protectors to include the Xray XB4’25 1:10 4WD buggy. Made from stainless steel, the plates are designed to provide protection for the buggy’s chassis against scratches which are part of the wear & tear that comes with offroad racing. Offered in a front plate or rear plate, each option comes supplied as a pack of two plates.
JConcepts has added to its line-up of accessories for the RC10B7 from Team Associated with these aluminium C and D mount blocks. Available in blue and black colours, the precision machined mounts are carefully crafted to accept the standard Team Associated pill inserts. The suspension mounts are a critical piece of any vehicle providing the base for adjustments such as toe-in, anti-squat and wheel base so a stout suspension mount can go a long way to assuring your vehicle is technically correct and up to specification. At 3.8 grams, the C mount is lightweight enough for the weight conscious racer but beefy enough to stand-up to the rigors of high-end modified buggy racing. It is designed as a -1 degree mount so it’s possible to realize alternate adjustments compared to the stock suspension mount. The D mount weighs in at 3.3 grams. Both mounts feature chamfer highlighted edging which improve the curb appeal and bring out the luster in any show or race ride. JConcepts logos and identification markings are located throughout to show brand loyalty and authenticity.

JConcepts have gone retro with its latest body shell creation with the release of the Protector body for the Team Associated RC10B7. The buggy that started it all in 1984 is always in style and JConcepts appreciates a stroll down memory lane and revisits the golden years of RC Racing. The new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10, and RC10B4 as some of the most popular kit bodies of all-time. This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s, 1990’s, and early 2000’s with rear biased cab, smooth hood, and progressive appearing sidepods. The front nose piece is feathered on the sides and chamfered to fit between the top deck and slides under the shock tower. The roofline is centre channeled with a slight lip upfront which provides plenty of windshield visibility and clearance. The side windows are sized for coverage and to add low-profile looks. The Protector pays homage to a selection of high-performance bodies from the golden years which featured cut to the chase desert buggy design and appeal. Included in each package are two of the popular Carpet | Turf | Dirt wings that are designed to mount to the standard RC10B7 rear wing mounts and geometry.
New from Factory Pro RC is this conversion kit for the recently released Schumacher Neon Mini Touring Car. The conversion kit allows you to change the wheelbase from the kit standard 225mm to 210mm resulting in a greater body shell choice for the 4WD Neon. The kit includes a 2.25mm Carbon Fibre Main Chassis, a 2.0mm Upper Deck and 2 Drive Belts.
