The Associated RC10B7D Team Kit (AS90042) brings the next generation of 1:10 scale 2WD off-road performance from Team Associated. Building on 40 years of RC10 heritage, the B7D introduces long-arm suspension geometry, KPI-adjustable steering blocks and a weight-centralised electronics layout for enhanced grip, corner speed and a more forgiving, race-ready feel on dirt, clay and low-grip AstroTurf.
Optimised for lower-grip tracks, the RC10B7D includes a ball differential, softer springs and lower-pack pistons to widen the tuning window and make pace easier to access. A 5-gear laydown transmission and low-profile motor mount move mass toward the centreline, while an updated 7075-T6 aluminium chassis and highly adjustable battery holder help fine-tune weight bias. This is a kit that requires assembly; electronics, wheels/tyres and finishing items are required (see Required To Complete).

TEAM ASSOCIATED RC10B7D TEAM KIT
Champions By Design
Team Associated has been at the leading edge of 1:10 scale 2WD off road for the last 40 years starting with the original RC10 and are proud to introduce this next generation to the world--the RC10B7. 40 years has seen a lot of development and changes, with each generation being a step forward from the last. The RC10B7 is no exception, boasting new long-arm suspension geometry, weight-centralized electronics layout, KPI adjustable steering blocks, and increased tunability throughout the whole chassis. These innovations have increased the potential for grip and corner speed, which leads to faster lap times and an overall easier-to-drive feel than the previous generation.
The RC10B7D is the recommended starting kit for those who plan to race on dirt, clay, and some low-grip AstroTurf ® tracks. This kit comes equipped with a ball differential and an optimized setup which includes softer springs and lower pack pistons. As with previous generations, the RC10B7D and RC10B7 feature fully interchangeable parts between the two kits, which allows the user to pick and choose what configuration they want to use depending on track conditions. Both versions come with the same durability, speed, and lineage of a champion that is found in any Team Associated race platform.
