Team Associated RC10 F6 Classic Edition Kit

Falling short of what 1:10 Formula racing fans might have been hoping for after their F1 teaser, Team Associated has announced the release of the RC10 F6 Classic Edition. While we can still hope for a fully modern competition spec Formula car from the US manufacturer given they re-released the TC7.2 Factory Team Kit before we eventually got the brand new TC8, AE say their engineers have assembled a modern re-imagining of the classic RC10F6 FT Kit, introducing fresh elements into a race-proven design, ushering the platform into a new era. Featuring an anodised gold chassis, a feature of its RC10 Buggy re-releases, the F6 FT Classic comes with a full cast of setting options, an ultra-low centre of mass, and sleek styling, which they claim will put you at the front of the Formula grid.

’25 1:8 Elec. Offroad World C/ship Chassis Focus Index

2025 will go down in the history books as the year that IFMAR staged the inaugural 1:8 Electric Offroad World Championship with 116 drivers from around the world travelling to Portugal last week for 5 days of action at the Barcelos Buggy Arena track located in the north of the country. While 1:8 Nitro Buggy is the established blue ribbon category of offroad racing, 19 World Champions having been crowned so far, eBuggy is a hugely important market for the industry for both chassis and electronics manufacturers. Many manufacturers were very open about how eBuggy kits generate more main stream sales than nitro, all thanks to its plug & play and no mechanic required simplicity. Now the category has its first World Champion and a very worthy one at that in Danish talent Marcus Kaerup, the 17-year-old’s win bringing Team Associated’s tally of IFMAR World titles to an impressive 34!! While not achieving the same size entry as nitro, which enjoys capacity 180 entries, the first eBuggy Worlds was successfully executed and set a strong foundation for future editions, the United States the stage for the next eBuggy Worlds in 2027 (P.S. IFMAR can you please allow trackside commentary next time so everyone can experience an atmosphere that a World Championship deserves!). During our coverage, which was made possible thanks to electronics manufacturer Team Cayote, we managed to photograph buggies from 8 different manufacturers for our ‘Chassis Focus’. Interestingly, such was the desire to become the first ever 1:8 Electric Buggy World Champions, and have an edge on their rivals, two manufacturers only allowed their cars to be photographed after the event was complete on Saturday evening. With 13 drivers lining up for the triple A-Main, buggies from 7 different manufacturers added great variety with Team Associated, Xray and Sworkz sharing the honour of most cars in the final with 3 each. We have compiled the 8 buggies we got our hands on in our latest Chassis Focus Index.

Team Associated tease return to 1:10 Formula

Having made a widely welcomed returned to Electric Touring Car last year at the World Championships in California and recently announced its entry into the 1:28 pan car category, Team Associated continues its onroad return with a teaser that hints at an upcoming 1:10 Formula kit release. Once a major player in the competition electric onroad market but then departing the market and solely focusing on offroad, the American manufacturer appears to be returning in force after the release of the TC8 Touring Car. Teasing its newest project with the quote “I am an artist. The track is my canvas, and my car is my brush” from Formula 1 legend Graham Hill, it is over 8-years since AE first entered the Formula class with the release of the RC10F6. Using the hastag #WhatsNext in the social media post it added, ‘Considered the pinnacle of motorsport due to its combination of cutting-edge technology, exceptional driver skill, and global reach, representing the highest class of international single-seater racing.’
