Associated 90042 1/10 RC10B7D 2WD Off-Road Competition Buggy Kit

Champions by Design

Team Associated has been at the leading edge of 1:10 scale 2WD off road for the last 40 years starting with the original RC10 and are proud to introduce this next generation to the world--the RC10B7. 40 years has seen a lot of development and changes, with each generation being a step forward from the last. The RC10B7 is no exception, boasting new long-arm suspension geometry, weight-centralized electronics layout, KPI adjustable steering blocks, and increased tunability throughout the whole chassis. These innovations have increased the potential for grip and corner speed, which leads to faster lap times and an overall easier-to-drive feel than the previous generation.

The RC10B7D is the recommended starting kit for those who plan to race on dirt, clay, and some low-grip AstroTurf
R
 tracks. This kit comes equipped with a ball differential and an optimized setup which includes softer springs and lower pack pistons. As with previous generations, the RC10B7D and RC10B7 feature fully interchangeable parts between the two kits, which allows the user to pick and choose what configuration they want to use depending on track conditions. Both versions come with the same durability, speed, and lineage of a champion that is found in any Team Associated race platform.
