About the RC10 4WD Team Car Kit
Born from Racing History
The RC10 name carries the legacy of Team Associated’s groundbreaking innovation that revolutionized off-road RC racing. First introduced in the 1980s and crowned by Jay Halsey’s World Championship win, the RC10 quickly became a symbol of precision, durability, and performance. While the original never saw a full 4WD production version, that dream has finally been realized with the RC10 4WD Team Car — a faithful continuation of the RC10’s racing heritage, built with the same passion that made it legendary.
True 4WD Evolution
This reimagined version of the RC10 transforms the iconic 2WD platform into a full-fledged 4WD race machine. Drawing inspiration from modern Team Associated engineering — like the B74 series — it delivers smooth power transfer, improved traction, and balanced handling across any off-road surface. With genuine Team Associated components throughout, it’s a complete 4WD kit straight out of the box — no conversion kits or aftermarket parts required.
Modernized Vintage Engineering
Beneath the classic styling lies updated technology for modern performance. The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum monocoque chassis, carbon fiber rear brace, and precision ball bearings ensure strength and smoothness, while the new 4WD-specific drivetrain with CVA shafts and a center belt system maximizes efficiency. Fully adjustable suspension and race-proven Stealth™ transmissions give today’s racers vintage style with cutting-edge performance.
