Team Associated DC10 Drift Car Kit
Having teased a new kit release last week, Team Associated has announced its entry into competitive RC Drifting with the release of its new DC10 RWD 1:10 Drift Chassis. Since 1964, Team Associated has proven to be the leader in competition racing. With its roots in onroad racing, although it exited the competitive Touring Car racing scene at number of years ago, the American brand said it made sense that their Area 51 engineers would develop the ultimate RC drift car with the DC10. In RC drifting, vehicle balance is key and with the many suspension and chassis tuning options on the DC10, drivers can set up their car with precision. The DC10 allows changes in camber, caster, and kingpin inclination (KPI), as well as motor and battery position.
