RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

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:
