On December 5, 1984, the All-American-designed Team Associated RC10 was introduced to the RC world. Being the first to take home the gold in both the ROAR National and IFMAR 2WD World Championships, the RC10 secured its place as a legend in RC car history. 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the RC10 and we are proud to offer this special limited edition 40th Anniversary kit. Staying true to the original, this anniversary kit features the same race car technology introduced in the 80s. It’s that innovation that has kept Team Associated on top of the RC car racing world for the past 40 years.

A Race Car, Not a Toy

Sure, you've heard that before. But Team Associated designs and engineers model RACE cars. The RC10 Classic features fully adjustable four-wheel independent suspension, an aluminum alloy monocoque tub and race-proven hardware throughout. Strength and durability are standard equipment.

Race-Winning Engineering

For maximum traction, the RC10 suspension is damped by long throw, fluid filled racing shocks, using machined alloy cylinders and drill blank shafts for silky smooth action. Rugged, yet light, the suspension gives you all the adjustability of full-size race buggies. The A-arm/ Ball joint design allos precise camber, caster, ride height, and spring rate tuning. Even the adjustable VariLok differential is included, and the updated chassis fits 6-cell MiMH and 2S LiPo battery packs. Exceptional ground clearance and low center of gravity also contribute to the superb balance and performance of the RC10 over all types of terrain.
