Associated website gets a reboot

Our site sponsors Team Associated have launched their new web site, created to better meet the needs of their customers and the general RC community. The new version of the web site has been completely retooled from the ground up without losing any of its speed and reliability.

We’ve tuned it up with more videos and wallpapers, new visual design, more choices, easier navigation, tighter security—all performance hopups for a leaner and meaner site. We’ve added more action-packed videos of our kits and more choices of screen resolutions for wallpapers of your favorite Team Associated kits and RTRs. You’ll have more choices for printing, searching and finding the information you’re looking for. The tighter integration of Team Associated, Factory Team, Reedy, XP Digital, and LRP products will streamline your navigation. Tighter backend security will work hard to keep out today’s malicious Internet pests and keep you safe. We’ve been hard at work bolting on new features, such as integrating awesome product enlargements of our kit and RTR features, videos that automatically detect your bandwidth and play accordingly, and mini profiles of our partners and sponsored athletes.
