Team Associated RC10T Factory Team Kit – 1/10 2WD Stadium Truck

The Team Associated RC10T Factory Team Kit brings one of the most iconic stadium trucks in R/C racing history into the modern era. Based on the legendary RC10T platform, this special Factory Team version combines classic RC10T architecture with a carefully selected collection of modern performance upgrades developed by Team Associated's AREA 51 engineers.

Rather than simply recreating the original truck, Team Associated has developed the RC10T Factory Team around the way its Factory Team drivers prepare their vintage RC10Ts for racing today. The result is a unique combination of unmistakable old-school RC10 character and modern competition-focused components.

The original RC10T made its debut in the early 1990s and quickly established itself as one of the defining vehicles of the emerging stadium truck racing class. Developed from Team Associated's championship-winning RC10 heritage, the RC10T went on to achieve numerous major race victories and helped shape 1/10 scale truck racing for years to come.

At the centre of the new Factory Team version is the classic aluminium monocoque tub chassis, but this edition receives an exclusive bronze-colour anodised finish. The chassis, nose plate and motor plate all receive the matching treatment, giving the Factory Team model a distinctive appearance that immediately separates it from the standard RC10T Classic.

One of the most significant upgrades is the suspension package. The RC10T Factory Team receives 13mm Factory Team big-bore shocks with Kashima-coated shock bodies, bringing modern damping technology to the vintage platform.

The larger-volume shocks provide smooth and consistent suspension action and are supported by newly designed Factory Team carbon-fibre front and rear shock towers specifically engineered to accommodate the big-bore shock package.

Team Associated has also upgraded the suspension mounting system with Factory Team captured hinge pins throughout. This provides a more secure and modern arrangement while maintaining the suspension geometry and character that make the RC10T such a distinctive truck to drive.

RC10 T2 suspension arms are included as part of the Factory Team specification, providing a proven suspension setup suited to modern vintage racing.

The steering and wheel mounting system has also received a major update. New Factory Team 12mm hex front steering blocks, front axles and rear CVA driveshafts allow the RC10T to use the modern 12mm hex wheel standard.

A set of 12mm hex T7 stadium truck wheels is included, making modern tyre selection and wheel changes considerably easier than with the original vintage wheel mounting system.

Heavy-duty metric ball studs are fitted throughout the suspension and steering system, while heavy-duty ball cups and 3.5mm adjustable turnbuckles provide strong and precise suspension adjustment.

A modern B7-style servo mount is also included, providing a more contemporary and secure installation for today's steering servos.

The drivetrain retains the character of the classic RC10T while incorporating selected modern upgrades. A carbon-fibre transmission brace adds rigidity around the transmission assembly, helping maintain accurate gear alignment under load.

Team Associated's V2 slipper system is supplied as standard, providing improved adjustment of power delivery and drivetrain protection. This is particularly useful when combining the vintage RC10T platform with today's considerably more powerful brushless motors and LiPo batteries.

A complete set of ball bearings is included throughout the truck, reducing drivetrain resistance and improving efficiency compared with traditional bushing-equipped vintage configurations.

The Factory Team treatment continues visually with all-black moulded components, complementing the bronze anodised aluminium chassis and carbon-fibre components. A new Factory Team RC10T decal sheet completes the distinctive appearance.

The combination of the bronze chassis, black plastics, carbon-fibre shock towers and Kashima-coated shocks gives the RC10T Factory Team a completely different character from a standard vintage reproduction while still retaining the unmistakable silhouette of Team Associated's legendary stadium truck.

Extensive adjustment remains available throughout the suspension. Camber, toe, ride height, shock position and other geometry settings can be tuned to suit different racing surfaces and driving styles.

The RC10T Factory Team is particularly well suited to today's growing vintage racing scene, where racers want the character and driving experience of a classic R/C platform while still benefiting from modern shock technology, wheels, tyres and electronics.

Supplied as a competition assembly kit, the RC10T Factory Team allows the builder to select their preferred motor, ESC, servo, radio equipment and battery package.

Whether purchased to compete in modern vintage stadium truck racing or simply as a special addition to a Team Associated collection, the RC10T Factory Team is a unique interpretation of one of the most important trucks in R/C racing history.
