Team Associated TC8 - Steel Spec Team Kit
Brand: Associated
Part No: AS30142
In Stock: Usually ships same day
The Team Associated TC8 – Steel Spec Team Kit (AS30142) is a ground-up, competition-focused 1:10 scale 4WD electric touring car chassis. Also known as the RC10TC8, it debuts all-new geometry and a low centre of gravity steel-spec chassis aimed at high-grip tracks. Long-arm pivot ball suspension, centralised ultra-short shocks, balanced weight distribution and adjustable KPI steering deliver a planted yet highly responsive feel with exceptional tuning range.
A mid-motor layout with symmetrical belts promotes efficient, balanced power delivery, while the split top deck lets you fine-tune chassis flex. The floating one-piece servo and bell crank mount preserves steering precision without compromising flex characteristics. A high-volume rear differential, DCV drive shafts front and rear, and a flexible TPU front bumper combine consistency, efficiency and durability. The horizontal rear body mount is optimised for modern lightweight polycarbonate shells. Assembly and painting are required; electronics, body, wheels and tyres are not included.

TEAM ASSOCIATED TC8 STEEL SPEC TEAM KIT
The RC10TC8: A champion by design, ushering in a new era of on-road dominance.
A revolutionary 1:10th scale 4WD electric touring car from Team Associated. This isn’t an evolution; it’s a complete reimagining of on-road performance. Built from the ground up, the RC10TC8 is a platform engineered to conquer the ever-intensifying world of competitive touring car racing. Area-51’s engineers have redefined what’s possible, packing this chassis with groundbreaking features and refinements.
The TC8’s entirely new geometry represents a paradigm shift in on-road performance. Whether you’re conquering high-grip tracks with the low CG steel chassis (optional) or maximizing flex on lower-grip surfaces with the TC8 Graphite-Spec carbon fiber chassis (optional), the TC8 provides a winning foundation.
Long arm pivot ball suspension, meticulously balanced weight distribution, and an ultra-low center of gravity combined to create a touring car that’s both planted and incredibly responsive. This is the core of the TC8’s vision for the future of touring cars, offering unprecedented tuning capabilities.
From the high-capacity differential to the ultra-short shocks, every component works in harmony. The one-piece servo mount and bell crank assembly deliver laser-like steering precision, while adjustable KPI ensures an unparalleled connection to the track, regardless of conditions. It delivers the performance you need to win, without sacrificing durability, ease of maintenance, or affordability.
Please Note: Vehicle shown equipped with items NOT included in kit: Body, Reedy motor, battery, ESC, servo, receiver, wheels, tyres, body, and pinion gear. Assembly and painting required.
