Team Associated RC10 4WD KIT 6040
Experience the Evolution of an Icon – The Ultimate 4WD Race Buggy
Overview
Step into racing history with the iconic RC10—now fully transformed into a high-performance 4WD off-road buggy. Born from the vision of Team Associated founder Roger Curtis and refined with decades of racing expertise, this kit delivers everything you need in one complete package. Simply add your preferred electronics, and you’re set to dominate the track!
A Legacy Reimagined
Heritage in Racing:
Originally a 2WD legend, the RC10 made its mark at the inaugural IFMAR Off Road World Championships. Racing ace Jay Halsey clinched first place in the 2WD class and nearly swept the 4WD class driving a prototype version in Del Mar, California.
Innovation Inspired by History:
Although Team Associated focused on 2WD for years, the desire for a true 4WD experience lived on. Leveraging insights from the B74 and that groundbreaking prototype, our engineers have created an authentic 4WD RC10—ending the need for conversion kits or mismatched parts.
