Team Associated ProSC10 RJ/Rockstar & AE Team RTR

Coming from Team Associated are the ProSC10 RJ/Rockstar and AE Team 1/10th 2WD RTR short course trucks. The truck features a rear motor short-course chassis that utilises many of the same parts from the widely successful RC10SC5M platform. Adjustable aluminium big bore coil-over shocks, a sealed-gear differential, and heavy-duty CVA driveshafts are all features that come standard. A powerful water-resistant Reedy electronic speed controller and 3300Kv electric motor power the ProSC10 for high-speed fun. To handle the power, the truck comes equipped with realistic wheels and multi-terrain tyres specifically made to handle any off-road condition. A 2.4GHz 2-channel radio system featuring a DVC (Dynamic Vehicle Control) receiver also comes standard. Protected by the water-resistant enclosed receiver box, the DVC system improves stability in all terrain conditions by automatically counter-steering when the vehicle starts to slide. With a metal-gear high-torque Reedy servo rounding out the electronics package, the ProSC10 is nothing short of a success in RC off-road racing. The truck is available in two body shell variants, one resembles RJ Anderson’s RJ/Rockstar truck while the other comes in the AE Team livery. Both will become available by March as RTR and also as full RTR combo variants including a Reedy Compact Balance charger and Reedy 7.4V LiPo battery.
