New Product from JConcepts:
 
JConcepts - RC10B5 | B5M, Titanium knurl tip front axle
Part # - 2346T
UPC Code - 845937011763
Retail price - $35.00
(Fits - RC10B5 | RC10B5M vehicles)
 
One of the best upgrades you can make to any R/C vehicle is to reduce
weight. JConcepts has been on top of weight saving items since the
beginning and now are making those items available to the Team Associated B5
vehicles. A critical point of the axle weight revolves around the front
axle itself along with surrounding geometry, hexes and pins. Within the
steering block the space is very tight and especially between the 2 front
bearings where the front axles rests. The cleverly designed JConcepts axle
is quite simple, straight-forward and eliminates ~38% weight over a stock
steel replacement axle.
 
 
 
The JConcepts front axle design is based around high-quality Titanium
construction, and a knurled axle tip for finger control and access. Finger
control gives the mechanic a grippy place to rest a finger so the front tire
doesn't rotate easily during changes making the process quicker and with
less frustration. The design also eliminates screws and other items which
are hard to inspect for issues which limit performance and add additional
weight. The light-weight, free spinning design includes axle roll-pins to
allow easy assembly of a necessary but (not included) clamping hex adaptor.
 
 
 
Assembly - 
Assembly is built from the inside out. Slide the axle through bearings
and install included roll-pin and center on the axle. Complete by
installing (not included) JC #2347-1 (blue) or 2347-2 (black) or AE #91409
clamping hex adaptor. For added security use (available separately)
#2341-1 (blue) or #2341-2 (black) JConcepts large flange serrated wheel
nuts.
