Some new brass options for the Team Associated DR10 from JConcepts with a new front suspension bracket and servo mount bracket. Setting the trim on any RC car is crucial but perhaps even more critical is for the trim to remain consistent throughout a race. JConcepts introduces the servo mount bracket for the DR10 line of vehicles. Constructed of brass to add weight this unique part offers benefits over the stock mount configuration. Most drag racers like to add weight to the front-end of the vehicles to maintain balance which allows the vehicle to stay on 4 wheels and move forward more efficiently. The mount fits snug inside the chassis servo mounting area increasing the support while the 2 screw mounting locations are beefy in design and zeroed in for a direct mount to the chassis. The bracket has locations on each side for included 3x6mm set screws to help align and maintain servo position during racing conditions, crashes and hard hits. The set screws are intended to touch-off against the servo case and provide additional support keeping the servo in the intended position which helps maintain consistent steering trim.
