Team Associated SC5M Team Kit short course truck

Team Associated have introduced the all-new SC5M Team Kit 1/10th scale 2WD short course truck. Based on Team Associated’s B5M platform, the truck shares closes ties with the of the B5M and T5M to design the ultimate short course truck chassis that utilises all the advantages that come with a mid-motor configuration. The kit features a high performance, no-compromise dedicated mid-motor designed chassis, configured specifically for short course and it shares nearly 90 percent of the parts as the B5M and T5M Team Kits, making it easier than ever to run multiple classes at the same time. From the aluminium hard anodised chassis, to the Factory Team V2 threaded shocks, to the Factory Team VTS slipper clutch, the SC5M Team Kit comes with all of these features and many more. The kit will become available in July.
