RC10 1989 Stealth Car Protector 1/10 Buggy Body (Clear) W/5.5 Wi

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 1980s 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.
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.
Traditionally, the rear overhang of the body is what makes a vintage buggy stand out vs later model vehicles. The rise over the rear shock tower has tower protection and an outlining detail around the shocks. The rear cover continues with edged detail to add rigidity and profile around the gear cover plug. The roofline is center channeled with a slight lip upfront which provides plenty of windshield visibility and clearance. The side windows are sized for coverage and to add low-profile looks.
The Protector pays homage to a selection of high-performance bodies from the late 80s and early 90s 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.
