BEYOND THE ICONIC 2WD RC10
The RC10 started as the vision of Team Associated’s founder Roger Curtis (RC) and became one of the most iconic RC cars in history.
At the inaugural IFMAR Off Road World Championships, Jay Halsey took first place with his RC10 in the 2WD class, but did you know he also raced a prototype 4WD RC10 in the 4WD class and took second place?
Team Associated never advanced that prototype 4WD and instead focused on 2WD. But what if Team Associated had developed a 4WD RC10? You’d get the RC10 4WD off road buggy!
Our team of engineers took the iconic RC10, the knowledge of 4WD racing from the B74, and created the RC10 4WD. No more having to buy an RC10 kit, a conversion kit, and random parts. Now you can have a genuine Team Associated RC10 4WD that is meant to be raced, with all the parts in one box. All you need to do is add electronics and hit the track!
Front and rear Stealth® transmissions with adjustable ball differentials, race proven V2 slipper clutch system, CVA driveshafts and durable low-friction center belt tension system.
The smooth undercarriage of the RC10’s aluminum monocoque tub and special gearboxes provide maximum ground clearance.
Independent suspension with hard anodized coil-over shocks help smooth out the bumps. Precision molded; nylon suspension components can be easily custom color dyed. Long front A-Arm/Ball Joint design permits static camber, camber rise, caster, ride height and spring rate tuning to suit every type of track.
IT STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING!
Going all the way back to 1985 at the very first IFMAR Off Road World Championships, Team Associated had always been interested in entering the 4WD buggy market. That’s why at that race, in Del Mar, California, Jay Halsey drove a prototype 4WD RC10. After taking first place in the 2WD Stock class earlier that day, Jay was poised to take first in the 4WD class as well. As fate would have it though, Jay finished a close second driving that prototype 4WD RC10 buggy. It wouldn’t be until many years later that Team Associated would finally produce a 4WD off road kit, the B44. To fill in the gap between that first IFMAR Off Road Worlds and the release of the B44, many aftermarket companies designed and produced their own RC10 4WD conversion kits. With the release of the Team Associated RC10 4WD kit you no longer have to piece a 4WD buggy together and hope everything fits. With our genuine Team Associated parts, everything you need to assemble a 4WD kit comes in one box!
