The all new Magma tire by JConcepts is an all-around performer for 1/8th drivers looking to conquer the toughest terrain while being incredibly stable at high-speeds. Designed with extreme abuse and speed in-mind, the Magma tire has giant horizontal tread which is bridge shaped and constructed for massive forward-bite. The tire carcass is built on race winning single contour geometry with inner radial ribs for expansion control. The low-profile design makes high-speed runs and turns possible and the race enhanced compound grips to just about any bashing or dirt surface imaginable. The tall tread provides a lot of life in multiple conditions and the detail in the tread with horizontal cuts, diagonal reliefs and outer receptors help the side-wall of the tire. The pre-mounted Magma tire includes closed cell inserts inside the tire and glued to 83mm (#3395) Cheetah wheels in either white or black. Using the included hardware, bolt-on either a 12mm or 17mm adaptor which suits the vehicle at hand and secure the hubs. The dish cover options bolt to the wheel from the inside out giving a legendary salt flat look of 1:1 speedsters.

New from Team Associated, the RC10B6.3D and B6.3 continues the trend of refinement and reliable performance set forth by its predecessors. With an all-new wide-pivot rear end and chassis-mounted servo mount, the RC10B6.3D and B6.3 is unmatched in stability and confidence. Performance isn’t the only category that has been improved for this generation, durability has also taken a step forward by resolving issues such as bending wing mounts, steering bellcrank screw breakage and excessive steering linkage play. Additional new features designed with the racer in mind include an integrated transponder mount, +4mm shock rod ends, tie-rod battery brace hardware and linkage are included, 2-wire and 3-wire containing clips, rear shock tower guards and a redesigned smooth front shock tower guard to cover the exposed screw heads so they won’t pack with dirt.

The RC10B6.3D is the clay/dirt variant which includes both 3-gear layback and laydown stealth transmissions for tuning weight bias, 19mm Octalock slipper pad (premium LCF pad material included in kit), standard length chassis, aluminium chassis weight for under the ESC and their tried-and-true ball differential. The kit setup has been optimised so you can have a competitive race car straight out of the box.

The #90029 RC10B6.3 is the carpet/astroturf variant boasting an all-new HD slipper spring assembly which uses the 11mm Octalock slipper pads (premium LCF pad material included in the kit) for smoother engagement on high-traction surfaces, +3mm chassis for added stability, steel chassis weights for tuning weight bias, front and rear anti-roll bars, and a gear differential. The kit setup has been optimised so that you can have a competitive race car straight out of the box.

New Features:
– New wide pivot rear aluminium arm mounts for use with 73mm arms and 69mm CVA bones gives more predictable rear traction and an easy-to-drive rear-end feel
– New servo mounting system with aluminium chassis mounts and moulded brace is much easier to assemble and has an integrated transponder mount
– New moulded front and rear tower covers and attachment system for a smooth surface, covered mount screws to stop them from packing with dirt, and protects the edges of the carbon fibre from damage and from damaging the track surface
– Octalock spur gear and 19mm Octalock LCF pads for smooth and consistent clutch performance
– Tie-rod battery brace parts and hardware included in kit for tuning additional chassis flex
– moulded wire clips included for motor and ESC wires to keep your wiring organised

Updated Features:
– Updated carbon fibre front and rear shock towers with finer hole spacing adjustment
– Updated standard-length chassis and side rails for use with new direct-to-chassis servo mount that gives a more direct steering feel and predictable chassis twist going into and out of corners
– Updated top plate that keys to a new steering bellcrank brace for increased durability
– Updated rear wing mounts for more durability and less bending
– Set screw and flanged nut rear bottom shock mounting hardware for quick-and-easy shock removal
– +1 carbon fibre steering arms
