Team Associated RC10B5M Team Kit 1/10th Scale 2WD Electric Mid-Motor Off-Road Competition Buggy. 1:10 scale 2WD off road has been Team AssociatedΆs signature racing
class since the release of the original RC10 in 1984. The Team
Associated RC10 buggy series has won eleven I.F.M.A.R. World
Championships since the class began in 1985.
Use the right tool for the job.
The engineers in Team AssociatedΆs Area 51 designed the RC10B5M to
specifically address the demands of racing on high-speed, high-grip
tracks where the mid-motor chassis is at its best. The new suspension
and chassis adjustments allow the platform to be tuned for both dirt and
multi-surface while maintaining the forgiving driving style racers have
become accustomed to with Team Associated vehicles.
No-compromise design.
The RC10B5M Team Kit utilizes a dedicated mid-motor chassis
configuration, but still shares nearly 90% of the same parts as the
rear-motor B5 Team Kit. The aluminum, hard-anodized chassis, gull wing
front suspension arm geometry, Factory Team V2 threaded shocks, and
Factory Team VTS slipper clutch are all standard features and give the
RC10B5M the ultimate in performance.
The RC10B5M has all the makings of a champion, and with the proven
performance from Team Associated, youΆre assured of support no matter
where you go. If high-speed, high-grip tracks are your game, the B5M has
what it takes to give you the winning advantage.
