Team Associated ‘crystal clear’ RC10

With Team Associated attending this year’s famous SEMA Show, the leading automotive aftermarket trade fair for the United States, and using that as the starting point for the pending 60th Anniversary of Associated Electrics (1964) and 40th Anniversary of the RC10 (1984) they have created some a little special. To pay homage to the RC10, they decided to make a special display piece, and since AE know its racers love the SLA prototype race cars they have shown over the years, they decided to make an RC10 version the same way. Utilising the RC10 Classic SolidWorks models, they were able to produce crystal clear parts. They have also kept the chassis, nose plate, motor plates, and shocks silver to give that prototype feel and awesome wow factor.
