Hard to believe that we are three months into 2020 already! We have released a ton of new products for many different segments of RC including electric and nitro off-road, dirt oval, drag racing, rock crawling and more! So to get you caught up on what’s new from the JC crew, please take a look at the Winter 2020 edition of the Product Rewind!
Clear Body For The Team Associated RC10B3
Kicking off 2020 was a body straight out of a 1997 time capsule. With approval from Team Associated, JConcepts is now offering the classic RC10B3 clear body shell to multi-generational drivers. This body uses the same feature designs as the original production body that ended up being used by legendary drivers like Masami Hirosaka and Mark Pavidis to just name a few. This body is a perfect drop fit for the 3rd generation RC10 and will be a hit for any vintage racer or a collector try to restore a shelf queen build.
The Sprinter tire was released in 2019 and was an instant hit in the Dirt Oval scene. Now this winning tire design is available in the industry standard 3.0″ x 2.2″ dimensions for short course truck based vehicles. They still features the same winning details like angled outer sidewall pins and square horizontal traction bars.
A new year means new threads for JConcepts fans everywhere, so let’s take a quick look at each item.
This black, short-sleeve t-shirt features the latest version of the JConcepts lightning bolt shield logo on the front with a smaller rendition of it located on the neck area on the backside.
If t-shirts aren’t your thing, then check out the latest hoodie from JConcepts. This sweatshirt features the same JConcepts lightning bolt shield logo on the front with a larger squarely planted on the backside. A metal zipper runs the entire length of the front with pockets located on each side for easy access.
For this year JConcepts is not offering 1, nor 2 hat options, but instead 3 different lids of your choice! Each one features a brown, leather version of the JConcepts lightning bolt shield logo on the front with an adjustable snapback in the rear. All 3 hats use a “trucker hat” design with a black, mesh covering the back half of the hat. The all black hats are available in either a rounded or flat-bill configuration while the gray version is currently only available as a flat-bill.
Finishing off the Destination line for early 2020 is the Destination Knit Beanie Cap. This one size, fit most cap will keep your dome warm when traveling to and from the track, or when are you marshaling those long 45 minute nitro mains in cold conditions. It features an official leather etched version of the JConcepts lightning bolt shield logo and is manufactured from durable material.
What good is a body if you don’t have a way to secure it right? As usual JConcepts has you covered with the new compact, angled body clips. Available in either silver or black color options, these clips are sold in packs of 10 and feature a small bend on the “ring” side to aid you with the removal from the body. They fit a variety of popular vehicles out on the market today from such companies as Team Associated, TLR, Axial, and Traxxas.
These scissors are comprised of two stainless steel blades with a slight curve to them. Etched into one of the blades is an authenticate JConcepts logo and the blades are wrapped in black ergonomic handles. The curved blades will come in handy when trimming out lexan bodies especially in the wheel wells, but they can also be used to cut soft plastic, soft rubber, fabric & thin paper products. You can cut into harder materials but this will shorten the life of the blades.
