JConcepts Protector - RC10 1989 Stealth Car Body 0725
 
Debuted at the 2025 Team Associated Vintage Championship, the Protector body for the RC10 1989 Stealth car was a hit in the hands of Ryan Maifield. As the name suggests, the new body shares some styling cues from the original days of the RC10 and one of the most popular kit bodies of all-time. This is a CAD design body shell but has its roots set in the 1980’s with rear biased cab, large rear transmission over-hanging section, and large rear windows. The body fits around the 1989 Stealth chassis with careful considerations to the angles, height, and transitions.
 
The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard thickness. 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. The product is designed and formed in the U.S.A. and always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style. Look for reputable dealers and distributors and demand authentic products – choose JConcepts.
 
Certainly, one of the most retro bodies in the JConcepts fleet, the Protector has very simple side-pods and efficiently covers the chassis. Multiple side windows, including the vintage back window, stand out as class leading details. The front nose piece of the body is feathered on the sides and chamfered to fit between the shock tower and slides just inside and over the top deck. A small, flared section near the front provides clearance around the steering bell cranks and servo link.

The Protector pays homage to a selection of high-performance bodies from the late 80’s and early 90’s with a clean, cut to the chase desert buggy design and appeal. Included in each package is a 5.5” wing that is designed to sit flat on the geometry of the body and sits down and hugs the back of the body. A simple, yet detailed wing design provides plenty of “sling” clearance for dirt and debris from the rear tires. A full selection of gurney options on the rear of the wing gives racers a selection of heights to trim to, depending on the level of traction. The wing side-dams are finished off with a little inspiration from today with the leading edge angled and already in attack mode.
