For 1990 Team Associated offered racers the Team Car, their second update to the RC10, just a year after they released the RC10 Graphite to compete with the Team Losi JRX2. The Team Car came in two models, a black anodized version of the original aluminum tub chassis or the Graphite's carbon fiber chassis. Improvements from the Graphite were carried over on both chassis including the wider front arms fitted with turnbuckle links connected to inline axles and steering blocks. Out back the universal joint style driveshafts and adjustable turnbuckles from the Graphite were matched with new arm mounts and hub carriers that increased anti-squat and toe in. The Graphite's fiberglass shock towers were used front and rear however they supported redesigned hard anodized oil-filled coil-over Team shocks that were longer with improved seals and a finer cap thread. The most highly lauded change however came with the inclusion of the new 48 pitch three gear Stealth transmission replacing the original 32 pitch six gear trans. Single piece TQ 2-1/8 in. front wheels with ribbed tires and single piece TQ 2 in. rear wheels with knobby tires were included as was a new Viper polycarbonate body. Both kits were sold with full bearings less radio and electronics:
Do you notice any handling differences between the RC10 graphite team car and the RC10 team car with tub chassis (both fitted with white nylon parts throughout)?
I haven't driven either yet. Been a while...greetings all :)

I would say the tub chassis has more flex and probably a lot bigger sweet spot for setup
I was practicing airbrushing and figured I'd do a couple extra, they are in BST. The blue viper team car body has a very small blemish on the nose. Whatcha think?
Here is the nose blemish:
Here is a better pic of the Red Graphite...

Rick today is your lucky day mate- :mrgreen: Just found you not one but two Cougar95 shells on ebay in the U.K.

Picked up this very neglected,but 100% complete Team Car last week.
Lots of hydrogen peroxide therapy and a healthy stash of new parts later,it came up pretty good.
I had to use Andy's front arms-it came with one stock white arm on the left and an...

Looks like you've done a lovely job on cleaning up the RC10... looks practically new now!
They say the color yellow and vintage rc makes you crazy. Well, I have both going on :lol:
I have been patiently waiting for a decent black chassis and nose for a long while. Yellow B2 fronts and ??? rears in the parts bin, the only plans in my...

A few updates... I finally got around to painting a body. I swapped out the Novak 410 for a Novak Tempest. I picked up the Novak NIB on epay for a song a couple of years ago. The seller was near the space coast of Cape Canaveral. They were selling...
I haven't even had a chance to clean it up yet but I wanted to post up pics to get some idea what I have. I used to know everything he had done to this car but that was a long time ago and I am just curious as to what is there.

I got the car in a running shape and took it to the track today. I ran the first two heats with it for fun and got lots of positive feedback. I just had a 15 turn in it with a 4000 mah lipo and was nowhere near pace with it as I have not done...
