Hara Factory Build RC10 Brian Kinwald Edition

While we have become used to weekly RC10 ‘Special Edition’ releases from Team Associated, with the upcoming Team Associated Vintage Championships is Las Vegas, RC Legend Atsushi Hara has built his very own ‘Hara Purple’ Brian Kinwald Edition for the race.  In recent years the onroad and offroad World Champion, who is now a brand ambassador for Team Cayote, has leveraged his ‘Hara Purple’ with a number of product deals and limited edition kit releases.  Along with his Yeah Racing Momentum signature tool series, the Japanese driver has endorsed Hara Edition Touring Car kits with Australian touring car manufacturer RC Maker and Hong Kong’s RC Xpress to coincide with representing these brands at legendary TITC race in Bangkok, Thailand.  He also raced a Schumacher Mi9 at the 2025 Electric Singapore International Challenge (eSIC) which had received the ‘Hara Edition’ treatment.  This is all possible as Hara has a friend in the anodising industry who is able to get his trademark purple done on very limited numbers of parts.  The 2026 Team Associated Vintage Championships takes place from September 2-7th at the The Orleans Hotel and Casino.
