Team Associated RC10 4WD Factory Team Kit Now Available for Pre-Order

Quick Answer

The legendary Team Associated RC10 returns with the new RC10 4WD Factory Team Kit, combining more than 40 years of racing heritage with modern Factory Team engineering. It is available to pre-order through Campbelltown Hobbies with a $50 deposit.

A New Chapter for an RC Legend

Few names in radio-controlled racing carry the history and reputation of the RC10. For more than four decades, Team Associated has produced championship-winning off-road buggies that have become favourites among racers and collectors around the world.

The new RC10 4WD Factory Team Kit builds on that legacy with a modern 1/10 scale four-wheel-drive platform developed by Team Associated’s AREA 51 engineering team.

It brings together the character of the original RC10 name with current Factory Team materials, components and race-focused design.

Whether you race at club level, compete seriously or simply appreciate high-quality RC engineering, this release is one of the most exciting additions to the RC10 family.

Factory Team Performance

The RC10 4WD Factory Team Kit includes a strong list of premium components, including:

• Bronze anodised 6061-T6 aluminium monocoque chassis
• Kashima-coated 13 mm Factory Team Big Bore shocks
• Stealth front and rear transmissions
• Factory Team V2 Slipper Clutch
• Carbon fibre shock towers
• Carbon fibre steering plates
• Mirage Pro body
• B7 rear wing
• Premium Factory Team components throughout

These parts have been selected to support durability, handling and competition performance while maintaining the precision expected from a Factory Team vehicle.

Bronze Anodised Aluminium Monocoque Chassis

One of the standout features is the bronze anodised 6061-T6 aluminium monocoque chassis.

This design gives the buggy a distinctive appearance while providing a strong and rigid platform for the drivetrain, suspension and electronics. The aluminium construction also reflects the premium Factory Team positioning of the kit.

Kashima-Coated 13 mm Big Bore Shocks

The kit includes Kashima-coated 13 mm Factory Team Big Bore shocks.

Big Bore shocks are designed to provide consistent damping and improved control over rough track surfaces, jumps and changing grip conditions. The Kashima coating helps reduce friction and supports smoother shock operation.

For racers, this gives another level of adjustment and refinement when setting the buggy up for different tracks.

Stealth Front and Rear Transmissions

The RC10 4WD Factory Team Kit uses Stealth front and rear transmissions.

These assemblies form a key part of the four-wheel-drive system and help deliver power to both ends of the buggy. Their inclusion reinforces the kit’s competition focus and gives builders a drivetrain developed around Team Associated’s racing experience.

Factory Team V2 Slipper Clutch

The Factory Team V2 Slipper Clutch helps manage power delivery through the drivetrain.

A properly adjusted slipper clutch can help reduce wheelspin, protect drivetrain components and improve how the buggy puts power down on different track surfaces.

This is especially useful when moving between high-grip and lower-grip conditions.

Carbon Fibre Components

The kit includes carbon fibre shock towers and steering plates.

Carbon fibre is widely used in competition RC vehicles because it provides a strong, lightweight and rigid structure. These components help reduce unnecessary weight while maintaining accurate suspension and steering geometry.

Mirage Pro Body and B7 Rear Wing

The included Mirage Pro body and B7 rear wing complete the buggy’s race-ready appearance.

The body gives the vehicle a modern competition profile, while the rear wing helps manage airflow and rear stability.

Builders can finish the clear body with their own paint scheme and race livery.

The RC10 4WD Factory Team Kit is aimed at hobbyists looking for a premium competition platform with high-quality materials and race-focused engineering.
