Associated B5M Factory Lite - World Champion DNA, World Champion performance
Team Associated's B5M Factory Lite Mid-Motor 2WD Competition Electric Buggy Kit has gained success at both the club level and at major racing events around the world. Team Associated Area 51 engineers took it upon themselves to make the best RC10 to date even better by creating a B5M that has been optimized to excel in classes requiring spec motors and in track conditions that allow the racer to take full advantage of the performance offered from reduced weight.
The RC10B5M Factory Lite Kit sheds over 75 grams of weight, includes a 3-gear transmission for lower rotational mass, a lightened hard-anodized aluminum chassis, titanium turnbuckles, aluminum front axles, and more. Combine this with the other standard B5M features and you have a car that is ready for competition out of the box.

This is the car to beat, get one and you won't be sorry with the level of performance and off-track support.
I really wanted to try a different brand this time around.
I went with the Losi, then the Serpent SRX2, then the Yokomo YZ2 and ended up back here. For me, this was the best of the bunch.
It really is ready to go out the box.
who needs to pay more for an updated version of the same
version that Rocks out of the Boxxxxxxxxxx!! StOCKK set up
this car can compete with all the newer models! Im glad I bought this
I save money and can compete and even triumph over the newer models. Very tunable, tons of up grades and can take crashes all day! Haven't broke anything
since I first bought this kit.
