Toy Fair 2009 – Team Associated

Team Associated are present alongside their parent company Thunder Tiger and taking pride of place on the stand is their all new SC10. Based on the T4 truck platform, and so contains many interchangeable parts, it has been built ver close to scale when compared agains the real CORR series trucks. Expected to come in at a very reasonable price, the car uses some cost effective systems to keep things within budget but what Associated have created is a very capable and very realistic looking car.

Team Associated SC10 2wd Race Truck Kit

So we’ve been drip feeding you news about Associated’s SC10, but now we have the full press release and pictures. Based on a lengthened version of the 6-time ROAR National Championship-winning RC10T4, the engineers behind the doors in Area-51 made the SC10 both all show and all go. The result is the SC10 kit, an authentic scale racing experience, which comes ready to assemble with a clear short course race-truck body, KMC style wheels, aggressive tread multi-terrain tires, all which have been designed to look just like the full-size race trucks that run in short course off-road series around the country. The world of high-performance 1:10 scale electric R/C has never before seen this level of scale accuracy.

Normally you would have to buy the gas buggy and eConversion separately, which would see you left with parts you don’t need, like the fuel tank and clutch. With this kit, that’s not the case.
