Team Associated RC10 Retro 80's Ultra Champ Kit - ASC6050

The RC10 that started everything, rebuilt from the ground up with authentic 80's style and genuine aluminum bones.

The RC10 Retro 80's Ultra Champ is Associated Electrics' full-on tribute to the buggy that rewrote competitive off-road racing. Built on a true RC10 platform, this 1:10 scale 2WD electric competition kit brings back the forged aluminum trailing arm rear suspension, the iconic Stealth A.T.C. sealed 3-gear transmission, and a gold anodized shock package, wrapped in retro-period graphics and white dyeable plastics. This is not a nostalgia cash-in. The engineering is legitimate, and the build will feel immediately familiar to anyone who has ever wrenched on a classic AE platform.

Condition note: The outer box has been opened. The inner parts bags appear factory sealed, and Bag J with its weight and QC label is visible and intact. The kit includes the gold RC10 Retro 80's commemorative coin in its clear display case. The box carries the holographic AE Heritage Club sticker. Photos in this listing are our own shelf shots of the actual box on hand.

Why You'll Love It

• Forged aluminum trailing arms: The rear suspension geometry is the real deal, with new CNC rear arm mounts, aluminum rear arm mount plates, and hardened rear driveshafts that hold up under serious track abuse.
• Stealth A.T.C. transmission with ball diff: The sealed 3-gear Stealth transmission keeps dirt out and power going to the rear wheels, and the high-torque ball differential gives you tunable traction without the drama of a spool.
• Long-travel anodized aluminum coil-overs: Gold anodized, fluid-filled, fiberglass-towered shocks deliver the kind of compliance that makes a 2WD buggy feel planted lap after lap.
• White dyeable plastics and Protech body: The new molded front bumper, side guards, and rear bulkheads come in white so you can color-match to any scheme, and the clear Protech body includes cutout templates to make body prep straightforward.
