Rc10 1989 Stealth Alloy Bellcrank Set - Blue

One of the best hop-ups that can be made to the RC10 1989 Stealth is to update the steering bellcranks with a more durable design. JConcepts has evaluated the options and built an all-aluminum design bringing the driving bell-crank into a one-piece and solid design, increasing steering response and feel. The idler bellcrank sports a beefy and similar design giving the vehicle a symmetrical feel. The parts are available in blue or black anodizing and feature silver chamfered edged highlighting and laser-etched JC logo for brand authenticity.

The bellcranks are bearing supported with heavy-duty flanged bearings and include threaded standoffs. The threaded standoffs attach to the chassis first utilizing the included JConcepts 8/32” x 1/4” titanium screws and the rest of the assembly install and secure over the standoffs. An aluminum washer is included to secure the top end of the assembly with 4-40 x 5/16” FHCS. JConcepts also includes 5.5 x 4mm titanium ball-studs for each location on the aluminum steering hole locations.

Ryan Maifeld tested and debuted the new steering system during the Team Associated Off-Road Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada. The JConcepts team builds, tests, and travels the world to support the brand and gathers valuable driver feedback in search of the best appearing and performance items on the market.
