AE90035
Champions by design
Since the introduction of the RC10 in 1984, the 1/10th scale electric off-road 2WD class has been Team Associated's flagship. With the RC10 series buggies, Team Associated has won 13 of the 18 I.F.M.A.R. World Championships to date, and yet we are not resting on our laurels. Just as tires, motors, batteries and race tracks continue to evolve, Team Associated continues to improve and adapt the RC10 to the state of the art with each release. For the RC10B6.4 project, the developers' goals were to improve jumping and landing behavior, modify steering characteristics to make the car "easy to drive fast" and increase cornering speed on grippy carpet and clay tracks.
As before, the RC10B6.4 platform is offered in two configurations. Both kits include new-generation 13mm Big Bore shocks and springs to provide the best possible damping and ride stability. The larger diameter of the shocks reduces the pressure inside the body and minimizes the effects of volume change caused by the plunging piston rod. As a result, the buggy rides like on clouds, even over rough ground or after jumps. The chassis, front axle and steering assembly have been optimized for use with lower caster values, which provide advantages on fast and grippy tracks. The arms of the revised steering system are height-adjustable to minimize wheel deflection during compression. Also new on the front axle:
- Steering and caster blocks with 1 mm offset for smooth and predictable steering response throughout the steering angle. The -1 mm design moves the pivot axis further toward the center of the front wheel, reducing front-end tilt during steering. Both buggies feature a new chassis with electronic weights that allow the electronics to be mounted directly behind the steering servo and a more forward battery position compared to its predecessor. The new options for adjusting the weight distribution increase driving stability and steering willingness under load on loose surfaces.
The list of highlights is long, e.g. easily accessible differential, new wide aluminum rear wishbone mounts for use with the 73 mm long wishbones and 69 mm CVA drive bones, and revised 4 mm thick carbon shock towers with protective plastic cover. Setups and tuning parts are interchangeable between the RC10B6.4 and RC10B6.4D configurations. Both versions feature speed, robustness and the pedigree you'd expect from a true champion. Choose the configuration that's right for your track and put the competition in their place!
The AE90034 RC10B6.4 Team Kit is the top choice for grippy carpet or artificial turf tracks and features a new +3mm chassis, 11mm Octalock LCF slipper, steel weights for the controller and servo, and front and rear stabilizers . The AE90035 RC10B6.4D Team Kit includes a new clay optimized chassis, 19mm Octalock LCF slipper, aluminum weight for the controller, layback transmission housing and clay tuned car setup.
Team Associated RC10B6.4D features:
- New 13mm Big Bore threaded shocks with aluminum housing, machined piston plates and springs for better handling on bumps and jumps
- New clay-optimized aluminum chassis with 22.5° kick-up angle due to new front axle geometry and with new shaping for less ground contact
- 20°/22.5° and 25° plastic bulkheads included for extensive caster and kick-up adjustment options
- New height-adjustable steering arms for reduced front wheel deflection on compression regardless of ground clearance and caster angle
- Steering and caster blocks with 1 mm offset for smooth and predictable steering response throughout the steering angle
- New RC10B6.4 electronic steel weight with larger footprint for mounting electronics further forward
- New upper control arm bracket, new top plate and new front wing bracket due to the new kick-up angle
- New chassis side panels with 3 different fan mounting positions depending on chassis length and gear case used
- New thrust bearing with cage for the ball differential
- New RC10B6.4 cab-forward body available in standard thickness (included) and thinner lightweight version (optional)
Proven features from Team Associated RC10B6.3D:
- Steel servo weight for low center of gravity
- Front and rear stabilizers included
- Front and rear shock towers made of 4 mm carbon fiber with molded protective covers
- Aluminum servo mount with brackets directly attached to the chassis and injection molded strut with transponder holder
- Octalock main gear and 11mm Octalock LCF pads
- Aluminum wishbone blocks with wide pivot point for use with 73-mm control arms and 69-mm CVA bones provide improved traction and easier rear end feel. Also compatible with optional 75mm arms when using the narrowest insert settings
- Symmetrical control arms with improved geometry and stiffness that can be reversed to allow a "split" mounting position for the shock. Arms are available in 73mm and 75mm lengths (73mm included).
- 2-piece rear wheel carriers with vertical ball heads and axle height adjustment with inserts for precise roll center adjustment
- outer rear control arm pins with bolt head and lock nut for increased durability
- Cable clips included for motor and ESC cables
- +1 carbon fiber steering arms
- Serrated black steel LP wheel nuts
- 69mm CVA bones for reduced minimized friction on drive pin
- Clear body and wings included
- Front wing mount and front wing included
- 5mm aluminum hex wheel driver
- Bevel gear differential
- Adjustable differential height for driveshaft alignment in all ride and axle height configurations
- Shock absorber with X-rings for low friction mounting
- Aluminum three-position ball-head rear mount for maximum adjustability and added strength
- Lightweight, one-piece aluminum upper shaft and gears
- Factory Team ball bearing set with 24 precision ball bearings, now oiled instead of greased for a more efficient drivetrain
