Team Associated RC10DR Desert Edition Brushless - RTR

The Team Associated RC10DR Desert Edition Brushless RTR (AS90052) is a highly detailed Dakar rally-inspired buggy that arrives fully assembled and ready to drive. Based on Associated’s championship-winning short course platform, it blends robust engineering with tunable geometry for confident handling across desert tracks and mixed off-road terrain.

A lightweight aluminium top shaft, rugged steel turnbuckles and rear CVA drive shafts deliver dependable drivetrain performance. The low centre-of-gravity moulded composite chassis promotes stability, while aluminium 12 mm big-bore coil-over shocks and impact-absorbing bumpers help the RC10DR soak up ruts and bumps. Vertical ball ends and adjustable suspension geometry provide multiple roll centre and alignment options to fine-tune handling for varying surfaces.
