Factory Team RC10B84 74mm Front DCV Set

AE’s option parts brand Factory Team has introduced this new 74mm Front DCV Set for the RC10B84 1:10 4WD Buggy.  The DCV system is a great tuning feature to achieve handling characteristics that cannot be easily replicated through other tuning features on the buggy. The set comes with everything needed to assemble and install on your vehicle.  Assembly is made simple by installing the two pins and using a retaining clip to hold the pins in place. The bones come with a black coat and visible laser etch to confirm you have the correct size.

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.

Avid RC B7 MachLite Idler Gear

New from Avid Racing Concepts comes the MachLite Idler Gear for the Team Associated RC10B7 Buggy.  It has been produced for stock and spec racers for whom every gram counts when it comes to the drivetrain.  They have lightened the design and narrowed the gear face from 10mm to just 6mm.  The result is a 3.34 gram gear that is 24% lighter than the kit gear with less rotating mass and inertia for quicker drivetrain response. They also machined it perfectly true to give you smooth and consistent rotation and the larger 54T design means there is still plenty of strength for Modified racing.

Factory Team RC10B7 Caged Thrust Bearing Slipper Conversion | 3-pad Slipper Hubs

Under its Factory Team option parts & accessories line, the Team Associated has released this caged thrust bearing slipper conversion and 3-pad slipper hubs for the RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy.  The caged thrust slipper greatly reduces the chances of your slipper nut loosening over the course of your run.  The 3-pad slipper is more consistent as well due to its better heat dissipation over the traditional 2-pad system.  Using the bigger diameter spring adapters allows everything to fit properly due to the spring having a shorter length and the three slipper hubs taking up more space than the typical two slipper hubs

R1 Wurks R1B Optional -4 mm Chassis

As now is pretty standard in the buggy market, R1 Wurks has released this optional -4 mm chassis for their R1B 1:10 2WD Buggy.  Made from high strength 7075 T6 aluminium and finished with a durable black hard anodised coating, it moves the rearward portion of the chassis and weight distribution forward by 4 mm, shortening the wheelbase and resulting in a more nimble, quicker-rotating handling feel.  It is best suited for track conditions where quicker rotation and faster direction changes are needed and drivers looking for a more responsive and aggressive handling feel.  When using the -4 mm chassis, some of the rearmost battery mounting options may no longer be available.  Availability is also dependent on the electronics form factor being used.
