Team Associated RC18 Late Model RTR

Now you can enjoy Team Associated’s world-class performance with true scale authenticity in a 1:18 scale late model oval racer. Team Associated have introduced the RC18 Late Model, a 1:18 scale RTR (Ready-To-Run) electric 4WD late model oval racer. The RC18 Late Model features a newly designed chassis with a fully enclosed, 2-belt, drive train system that is capable of handling the extreme amount of power that today’s brushless motors and LiPo batteries can dish out. Along with durability, the drive train is sealed to help keep rocks and dirt away from all the gears and pulleys. The RC18 Late Model comes fully assembled with a painted and decaled late model race body, chrome late model style wheels, aggressive checkerboard tread scale tires, all designed to look just like the full-size race cars that run in dirt oval series around the country.

Factory Team SC10 lightweight ball differential

Team Associated have announced the introduction of the Factory Team ball differential specifically designed for the SC10. Once built, the differential fits directly into the stock SC10 transmission case without any modifications. Racers have long enjoyed the handling benefits that a ball differential offers. For nearly 30 years, competition electric off-road cars have been equipped with them, and for good reason, ball differentials improve handling consistency over bumpy surfaces while increasing cornering capabilities. Each outdrive is machined from hardened steel for exceptional durability, then lightened to reduce rotating mass. The outdrives are also available separately so that current T4 and B4 differentials can be upgraded for use in the SC10.
