The 2nd round of the 2026 JConcepts Outdoor National Series is in the rear view mirror. Despite some difficult weather conditions leading up to the event, the Adrenaline Raceway track crew put in an epic layout and mother nature allowed the race to go off without any issues.
Round 2 reset the entry count for the first year of the series upping the record to 220 entries. On top of that, with the recent release of the Reactor Monster Truck, the indoor circuit at Adrenaline raceway held 2 rounds of the new Reactor Cup events.
The ONS Series features a full day of practice on Thursday, with Friday holding 3 rounds of qualifying followed by the Triple Mains for modified and pro stock classes, Double Mains for the other electric classes, and a 20 minute nitro class main. Best 2/3 qual-points is the qualifying format to set the grid for the main events.

JConcepts Showed up with a host of new items on hand for the vintage crowd and outdoor racers alike.
Tires:
- Kosmos – Kosmos have long since been around in 1/8th scale racing and now racers can run them as a 2.2″ buggy rear tire. Get through the roughest most loamy terrain on any day of the week.
- X-Bites – The X-Bites take everything learned from the Dirt Bite and throw it back old school with a pin style from the past. You can run these as 2.2″ rear buggy tires, 2.2″ 4wd fronts, and 2.0″ front and rear buggy options.
Accessories:
- RC10 Aluminum Steering Bellcranks – One of the best updates you can make to the RC10 platform is adding strength and precision to the steering assembly, this updated kit allows you to disassemble and assemble from the top making it much easier to work on!
- RC10 1989 Aluminum Steering Bellcranks: JConcepts also brought out an aluminum setup for the 1989 stealth car with the same styling and design as the RC10 setup but with the steering geometry of the 1989 stealth car.
- RC10 Transverse Battery Box – With the RC10 Factory Team Kit coming with a sideways battery setup, if you want to run the battery transverse again, JConcepts has you covered.
- 1989 Stealth Forged Carbon Battery Brace – Not much looks cooler than Forged Carbon and now you can keep your battery in place with it on your 1989 Stealth RC10.
- Pioneer +3.5mm Axle Extension: Pair these hex extenders with your Pioneer RC10 2.2″ rear wheels to get a similar track width as the popular mono wheels and a wider stance than the normal wheel offers out of the package.
