Factory Team B74.2 Decoupled Slipper Clutch Kit

New from Factory Team for the Team Associated RC10B74.2 4WD Buggy is this Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit which decouples the front drivetrain from the rear drivetrain when off power. Having the front driveline spinning freely when off power, and on the brakes, greatly reduces the front tire binding and scrubbing on the track surface through a corner. This allows for more off-power steering without affecting the on-power feel and acceleration that four-wheel drive provides. The conversion kit comes with everything needed to run the decoupled slipper with spare parts for common wear items are available as well.

Team Associated RC10B7 2WD Buggy

Team Associated has released its latest incarnation of the legendary RC10 1:10 2WD Buggy with the new B7 Team Kit. Starting with the original RC10, Team Associated has been at the leading edge of 1:10 scale 2WD off road for the last 40 years and are proud to introduce this next generation RC10 to the world—the RC10B7. 40 years has seen a lot of development and changes, with each generation being a step forward from the last. The RC10B7 is no exception, boasting new long-arm suspension geometry, weight-centralised electronics layout, KPI adjustable steering blocks, and increased tunability throughout the whole chassis. These innovations have increased the potential for grip and corner speed, which leads to faster lap times and an overall easier-to-drive feel than the previous generation. The RC10B7 is the recommended starting kit for those who plan to race on carpet, astroturf, and some high-grip sealed clay tracks. This kit comes equipped with an all-new gear differential, front and rear anti-roll bars, and an optimised high-grip setup which includes stiffer springs and higher pack shock pistons. As with previous generations, the RC10B7 and RC10B7D feature fully interchangeable parts between the two kits, which allows the user to pick and choose what configuration they want to use depending on track conditions. Both versions come with the same durability, speed, and lineage of a champion that is found in any Team Associated race platform.
