What is it now Team Associated?!

[morrisey0]

So, all three axles are the same? And the front rear must be pass through, so maybe they are identical and the front and rear rear are just "capped?" If they are all the same, and can all be steerable, this leaves the door open to all kinds of imaginative builds.

I'm so torn on this one. It is objectively ridiculous, but I love the idea of the gold and white chassis shortened into a rally car platform.

What is in the blue circle? I would say it is a waterproof RX box, but the RX is mounted over the servo.

I still get a kick out of this photo. The two are related how? Even a gold and white B7 would have more in common.

The two are related how?

The same way an ice Mustang and an EV mustang are related- by name

Hey. That's not fair.


The Mustang EV identifies as a Mustang. You just need to accept that and stop being so damned biased just because it was really born an Escort

Wouldn't it have made sense to release a touring car first and then stack another gearbox to the rear in a follow-up release? Maybe they think they can sell more product by releasing the semi first. To me, though, all I see is a pretty interesting budget touring car chassis coming later in the year. All they have to do then is to price it like a budget touring car. Fat chance...

They already did. Its just the Associated Apex 2 chassis, with a longer alloy chassis plate to add the extra gearbox and the plastics moulded in white instead of black. Even the wheels are just chrome versions of the white ones on the Apex 2 Hoonicorn.

Okay, okay. So after a release like this, surely the next one will be the graphite kit, right? Maybe a fluoro powder coated chassis team car for easter? I know they did well with the 4wd rc10 so they can kind of cruise by with this one, but I'm expecting the next release to be another big one.

I’m not going to hold my breath. I have pretty much given up hope for the Graphite Kit.

Wish they'd Drop RC10ls & 12ls.... I'd fill a wardrobe

[templeofspeed]

Well, I preordered the kit along with the apex2 rally conversion, the flat chassis and a set of black arms. I think a worlds-esque look on the apex won't look too bad. I'm also kitbashing the rc10 4x4 with a rere worlds car, thanks to factory works making the shock towers. Yes, I'm still around. Life got real serious there for a few years.

[GoMachV]

Welcome back!

[templeofspeed]

I mean...

Black chassis, CF shock towers, hard anodized shocks, black arms...

[JosephS]

Ok I take it back. If this is what happens when AE comes up with their own ideas, I see why they stole , appropriated, the ten4 design.
