The new Factory Team RC10R5 is Team AssociatedΆs entry into the
fast-growing 1:10 scale World GT onroad racing class. With Team
AssociatedΆs twenty-five years of 1:12 and 1:10 scale onroad racing
history, we are very excited to offer the Factory Team RC10R5 to this
new emerging class!
Starting with the highly successful RC12R5 platform, the designers in
Area-51 built the bigger RC10R5 on a 2.5mm woven carbon fiber chassis
that utilizes a pivot-ball link rear suspension that allows for
independent adjustments for chassis roll, bump and alignment. Having
the ability to make these chassis adjustments independently gives the
RC10R5 greater potential to get the best possible handling from the car
and the track surface. While testing, the pivot
ball-link chassis has proven to be more durable in high speed impacts and much better in bumpy track conditions.
The RC10R5 features new shocks that have a through-shaft design, making
for equalized damping throughout the full stroke of the shock in both
directions, without any unwanted rebound. The center shock tower has
four mounting positions that split the spring rates for even finer
adjustments. The new center shock also controls the chassis droop and
can be adjusted on the car with a turnbuckle wrench, making it easier
and quicker to get dialed in.
Spec Check
- Width: 197mm
- Length: 14.5 inches
- Weight: 1.98 lbs.
- Wheelbase: 255mm
- Power: Electric
- Drive: 2WD/RWD
- Scale: 1/10th
The RC10R5Άs ΅Active StrutΆ front end has been optimized, featuring
symmetric components with adjustable caster and track width, as well as
a new front axle with wheel nut. Factory Team blue aluminum servo
mounts position the servo flat on the chassis for a lower center of
gravity and include Ackermann adjustment spacers. The foam front bumper
helps protect body and chassis during impacts.
The RC10R5 features a wide rear pod optimized and balanced for
brushless, woven carbon fiber top plate, and Factory Team blue aluminum
machined motor mount and left-side bulkhead. The woven carbon fiber top
plate attaches to the motor mount and leftside bulkhead at four points,
making the RC10R5Άs rear pod more rigid and durable.
The RC10R5 uses 90% of the same parts as the RC12R5, making it easier
than ever for current 1:12 scale racers to jump into the fun of bigger
cars with scale bodies that is the World GT class.
