About The 40th Anniversary Kit


History and Legacy of the RC10

The Team Associated RC10 holds a storied place in the history of RC off-road racing, revolutionizing the sport when it was introduced on December 5, 1984. Not only was it the first to clinch victories in both the ROAR National and IFMAR 2WD World Championships, but it also set a standard for performance and innovation that has endured for four decades. Its legacy is marked by numerous championships and accolades, cementing its status as a legend in RC car history. From Jay Halsey's groundbreaking win at the inaugural IFMAR Off-Road World Championship in 1985 to its feature film debut in The Dead Pool, starring Clint Eastwood, the RC10's impact on the RC world is undeniable. Its induction into the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2015 further solidified its place in the annals of motorsport history.

Chassis, Suspension and Drivetrain

The chassis, suspension, and drivetrain of the RC10 are a testament to its race-winning engineering and enduring performance. The original aluminum monocoque tub chassis provides strength and durability, while the long-throw fluid-filled limited edition aluminum shocks ensure smooth and consistent performance on any terrain. The full race rear suspension, four-wheel independent suspension with coil-over shocks, and low profile gearbox with VariLok adjustable differential contribute to exceptional handling and control. Precision-molded nylon suspension components and A-Arm/Ball joint design allow for precise tuning of camber, caster, ride height, and spring rate, ensuring optimal performance on every type of track. With its combination of innovation, durability, and performance, the RC10 continues to be a force to be reckoned with on the RC off-road racing circuit.

The box is beautiful. I feel like I'm 14 years old again. It will definitely be a nostalgic build for me.

The RC10 is truly an icon. I got one after having a Superchamp back in the 80s and starting racing after. Over a few years I tried every mod from drilling the chassis out and then a graphite chassis with A&L trailing arm suspension!
The build is very easy and quick with great updated instructions. The new online instruction manual is a game changer, although it would be fun to use the original for nostalgia.

Can't wait to get this thing dirty! If vintage racing picked up in my area I might even start racing again.

This RC-10 re-re is amazing. One of my friends had a gold pan when I was a kid and I was a bit jealous. I still have my black pan Team Car that I still use to this day. I can't wait to build this beauty and add it to the line-up. I was taken back to my childhood opening the box and just seeing the kit. Thank you AMain Hobbies!
