Team Associated 1/10 RC10 4x4 Team Kit
The RC10 4x4 Team Kit brings to life a piece of RC history that never was — until now. Born from the legacy of Team Associated’s founder, Roger Curtis (RC), and inspired by the original RC10 that revolutionized off-road racing, this 4WD evolution answers the question: what if Team Associated had continued the development of their prototype 4WD buggy from the first IFMAR World Championships? At that event, Jay Halsey not only won the 2WD class with his RC10 but also piloted a 4WD prototype to an impressive second place. Now, that vision becomes a modern reality with the official RC10 4WD Team Kit.
Team Associated’s engineers combined the iconic DNA of the original RC10 with cutting-edge 4WD technology from the championship-winning B74 platform. The result is a fully integrated, competition-ready 4WD buggy that blends vintage style with modern performance and durability. No more piecing together conversion kits or aftermarket parts — the RC10 4x4 Team Kit includes everything you need to build a true, race-proven 4WD RC10 straight from the box. Simply add your preferred electronics, paint your body, and hit the track.
