The 2026 JConcepts Dirt Oval National Series headed to Auburn RC this past weekend for the Summer Dirt Oval Nationals. The super fast, high bite track is a popular stop on the west coast and an attendance record was hit for the round at just over 150 entries.
Racers were treated to 3 rounds of qualifying with a qual-points best 2/3 format. The top 5 drivers would qualify directly to the main event with 2 bump ups.
The facility also had a host of upgrades including a new hobby shop building, new off-road track layout going in, and extended covered pit area!
The following drivers would take TQ in each of the 10 classes:
A project from the man himself has now appeared as an option for 13mm shocks. The BK piston, machined in low friction Delrin material has opened a can of goodness racers have only heard about, until now. The prototype slotted piston, machined by BK using equipment purchased exclusively for the master of all RC trades, was for sure a late-night project. During 2016, finding grip with newly released mid-motor vehicles was a vicious hunt for low-traction dirt conditions.
As track conditions advanced, finding grip wasn’t necessarily as high a priority, hence the delay in the BK piston introduction. However, as the hands of time move forward, vehicles are once again looking for an edge in grip handling due to their advanced corning abilities. The all-precision machined item has the makings of the latest winner from the JConcepts Speed Laboratory and can be tuned by the user. The latest BK pistons arrive with plenty of pre-drilled combinations.
Notes from the team: Test drivers have reported increased vehicle grip while utilizing the exclusive design. The BK channel in the piston increases the volume of oil in the shock body acting as another chamber in the shock body to add consistency to the mechanism. During compression and rebound, a lot of disturbance is created inside the working area of the shock. The action of a traditional piston is very top to bottom with pass-through only allowed through dedicated holes and around the perimeter due to blow-by. With this design, the piston is passing fluid through 2 separate channeled sections while the entire disturbance area rests in oil which helps compartmentalize all activity.
In testing, this has translated into consistent handling, more overall grip, while the vehicle seems to act more with the track surface, rather than against it. Driving with a lower ride-height always helps cornering ability and stability, however, the adverse effect is handling over uneven terrain. With the BK piston the vehicle seems to perform better at low ride-height while still handling individual bumps and deflections that vehicles undergo during hard sweep cornering.

React – Carpet Rear Insert
JConcepts introduces new performance inserts for carpet and turf racing. With additional compounds now in the market, new and updated carpet, and office carpet conditions, now is the time for tire tuning with inserts. With new compounds such as brown and purple in the JConcepts line-up, shoring up the carcass is advantageous when the correct surface presents itself. The React inserts provide a small layer of cushion between wheel and the inner carcass of the tire.
Although JConcepts rear tires arrive with standard open cell inserts, having adjustments help achieve the next level. Available in 2 different densities, the soft is most often used in the traditional pink and new brown compound. The medium density insert is used more for purple compound or when the grip of the surface has reached its highest potential. Rear tires in the normal configuration typically arrive with a standard insert and as built as wide as the rear tire / wheel combination. The React inserts are produced a bit narrower for more lateral deflection and sidewall cushion.
Being prepared is always the top priority when racing and while trying to reach the top step on the podium. 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 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.
Features:
• Slim fit and finish
• Dark grey colors for recognition

JConcepts – RC10B7.1 Titanium Top Hat Screw Set, Upper
Titanium is a racers best friend with the introduction of the Top Hat titanium screw sets from JConcepts. An easy way to trim weight, the screw set starts with high-quality titanium material machined to tight tolerances making them durable, easy to use, and one of the most glamorous items to add to a racing vehicle. The JConcepts team wanted a design that wasn’t the usual or simply picked from a catalog, it was necessary to change the button head and cap head style into something unique. The top hat name was given for the look of the hex head appearing rather formal and once combined with available burnt blue or stealth black colors, looks extraordinary.
The 91-piece screw set contains many top hat screws in various sizes as well as anodized and titanium flat head screws which are used in several areas throughout the upper side of the build. The top hat screw, designed during the 2021 racing season went through many tests over the course of time and have made it to famous builds by Ryan Maifield, Spencer Rivkin, Paul Wynn, and Jason Ruona. The set of JConcepts screws includes a additional screws for changes in setup, front wing setup, and miscellaneous others to help your build or maintenance.
The items are separated by size for the user to match up against stock screws for location direction. On the RC10B7.1, it is recommended to only use the kit steel M3x16mm SHCS when installing the steering bell-cranks to the front bulkhead. No screw has been included for this due to impact strength and location benefits of using a standard SHCS screw. Using high-quality wrench sets like the JConcepts #2457 or MIP metric hex drivers will prolong the life of screws and make racing life much simpler in the long run.
The product is always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported, and developed by professionals with style and authenticity. Look for reputable dealers and distributors and demand authentic and licensed products – choose JConcepts.

The 32-piece screw set contains many flat head screws in various sizes which are used in several areas throughout the lower side of the build.
Screws are anodized in either burnt blue or stealth black colors and range in length to satisfy the vehicle.
