Team Associated RC10R5.1 Factory Team Kit

The new Team Associated RC10R5.1 Factory Team Kit takes the next evolutionary step into the growing 1:10 scale World GT on-road racing class. With 35 years of 1:12 and 1:10 scale on-road racing experience, Team Associated’s 10R5.1 comes from a long line of high-performance pan car chassis’ with a race-winning pedigree. Taking the design cues and revisions from the highly successful RC12R5.2 platform, the 10R5.1 has incorporated these improvements, based around the World Championship-winning Dynamic Strut front end with adjustable caster and track width, and updated lower control arms with more accurate mounting for a more precise build every time. The 10R5.1 now employs the wide three-point rear pod that has been optimized for brushless motors. The rear blue aluminium bulkheads are tied together with a carbon fibre motor mount cross brace to gain further rear end rigidity and durability. The backbone of the 10R5.1 consists of an ultra-rigid 2.5mm thick carbon fibre chassis with integrated chassis-stiffening rails. The chassis-stiffening rails provide a centralised LiPo battery mounting position that fits both 3.7V and 7.4V LiPo battery packs and easily facilitates front-to-rear weight bias adjustments. The 10R5.1 also shares the rear suspension that has been proven on the 12R5.2. The centre shock uses the through-shaft design, giving equalized damping throughout the full stroke of the shock in both directions without any unwanted rebound. Roll is controlled with the new side damper tubes that offer smoother rear pod movement and easier maintenance.
