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.
