New Team Associated RC10T7 Stadium Truck Kit

Press Release From Team Associated:

Based on Team Associated’s RC10B7 platform, the RC10T7 Team Kit is the next iteration of the successful truck platform. Design goals were to lower CG, add durability, and incorporate the RC10B7 adjustability and performance. Engineers inside Team Associated’s Area 51 first priority was the design of the new 3-gear laydown transmission to reduce drag and transfer all of the power to the larger truck tires.

Champions by Design. The RC10T7 shares key components with the RC10B7 and RC10B7D Team Kits, making it easier than ever to run multiple classes at the same time. The primary suspension update is to lower the CG with shorter 25mm long front and 31mm long rear 13mm big bore shocks. The new chassis design is a stronger truck version of the RC10B7 buggy design and gets a new truck specific gull wing long arm suspension to improve grip and predictability in all conditions. On top of that, the kit includes updated zero KPI steering blocks and updated caster blocks, along with the legacy B7 features for tuning the front end feel. The new steel front inner hinge pin brace and updated B7 V2 caster block add to front end durability. The new RC10T7 offers the same mounting locations along with anti-roll bar hardware as the RC10B7 while pairing nicely with wide mount anti-roll bars that fit the new suspension arms.

The RC10T7 updated specs give racers an edge over the competition.
