Team Associated RC10 Classic 40th Anniversary Kit

With 2024 marking the 40th anniversary of the RC10, Team Associated are proud to offer this special limited edition 40th Anniversary kit.  On December 5, 1984, the All-American-designed Team Associated RC10 was introduced to the RC world.  Being the first to take home the gold in both the ROAR National and IFMAR 2WD World Championships, the RC10 secured its place as a legend in RC car history.  Staying true to the original, this anniversary kit features the same race car technology introduced in the 80s.  It’s that innovation that has kept Team Associated on top of the RC car racing world for the past 40 years.

IFMAR ISTC World C/Ship Motor & Battery homologation

IFMAR has published details of its approval process for motor and battery manufacturers wishing for their products to be used at this 1:10 Electric Touring Car World Championships which will be hosted by Finishline RC Raceway in Bakersfield, California, in November.  At last year’s IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Arizona, a number of drivers were forced to switch motors and battery brands as their sponsor’s products while ROAR/EFRA approved had not completed the approval process with the World Federation.  The most high profile case of this was 2WD World Champion elect Tater Sontag who while at the time sponsored by Fantom, had to use a motor from Hobbywing and batteries from Protek.  Manufacturers with previous IFMAR approved batteries and motors do not need to re-apply for homologation once the product remains unchanged but with the Spec class moving to 17.5T this year all motors will need to go through the approval process.  All applications must be made between March 25th and July 5th, 2024.
