Team Associated RC10 Graphite Edition 1/10 2WD RC Buggy Kit 6030

The Team Associated RC10 Graphite brings back one of the most significant competition versions of the legendary RC10. Based on the RC10 Graphite originally released in 1989, this 1/10 scale 2WD electric buggy kit combines classic Team Associated racing heritage with the distinctive lightweight graphite chassis and competition-developed components that separated the Graphite from the standard RC10.

At the heart of the RC10 Graphite is a 2.5mm carbon-fibre graphite chassis engineered to provide high rigidity while reducing weight. Fully adjustable four-wheel independent suspension, long-travel aluminium oil-filled shocks, a sealed six-gear transmission, VariLok adjustable ball differential and universal driveshafts provide the classic competition-focused RC10 driving experience.

This 6030 kit also includes a full set of metal ball bearings, racing wheels with Team Associated TQ tyres and a clear ProTech II body and wing. The chassis accommodates suitable modern 6-cell NiMH and 2S LiPo battery packs, allowing enthusiasts to build the vintage-inspired buggy with contemporary electronics while retaining its classic character.
