Team Associated TC7.1 Factory Team

Team Associated have announced the release of the TC7.1 Factory Team, the latest in their line of 1:10th scale 4WD electric touring car kits. An evolution of its successful predecessor, the TC7 FT, the primary focus for the TC7.1 FT was to allow for a lower center of mass to take advantage of the higher grip levels. Starting with the ultra-smooth short FOX shocks with Genuine Kashima Coat mounted low on the chassis, and rounding out with DCV drive shafts for the front end, no corners were left untouched to make the smoothest power delivery and optimal load transfer. Other key features include a narrow chassis with optimized flex characteristics, one-piece motor mount, floating servo mount, and rear gear diff for maximum performance and minimal maintenance.
