Associated RC10T4 Team Kit # 7020 *SOLD *




RC10T4 Team Kit

The new T4 truck borrows the distinctive forward-swept front end and rear-mounted shock configuration featured on the RC10B4 buggy, optimized with the new co-planar steering geometry. This new suspension design provides maximum front-end clearance and minimizes bump-steer while maintaining desired Ackermann angles. Trailing front axle or optional inline steering blocks can be used to adjust steering response. The suspension arm design features a “captured” hinge pin design so that no E-clips are used. The T4 also features a heavy-duty design front hinge-pin brace and bumper for increased durability.
The transmission has also been optimized into an ultra-compact package, and now uses the same 2.6:1 higher torque-capacity differential as the RC10GT. A double-sided slipper assembly (first prototyped by Team Associated in 1989) has been designed with higher torque capacity, easier assembly, and lower rotating mass than comparable double-sided slippers. This provides a finer adjustment range and more efficient slipper operation.






The T4 chassis provides a super-low center of gravity by lowering the motor, battery, and shock mounting positions, enabling Associated’s R&D team to design a sleeker, more realistic low-profile body, greatly reducing the large, unaerodynamic "humps" over the rear shocks as seen on older-design trucks. The T4 also comes equipped with strong, dish-style wheels and high-traction Pro-Line tires.

• Angled bellcrank steering minimizes bump steer to maintain constant steering angles throughout the full range of suspension travel.
• Trailing front axle or optional inline steering blocks can be used to tune steering response.
• Front shocks are mounted behind the shock towers. All four suspension arms utilize a "captured" hinge pin design that uses no e-clips.
• The "forward-swept" front end design provides maximum front end ground clearance. Chassis underside is contoured for maximum clearance when cornering, and minimal ground contact area on hard landings.
• New 2.6:1 laydown transmission now uses the higher torque capacity differential from the RC10GT. Ultra-compact, efficient, low-CG design.
• Longer CVDs dogbones and axles have been designed into the rear suspension to push the T4 out to maximum legal width for more traction.
• High torque capacity, double-sided slipper provides finer adjustment, easier assembly, and lower rotating mass than comparable double-sided slippers.
• Impact-resistant rear motor guard and body mounts. Lower motor, battery, shock and body mounting positions give the T4 a lower CG for higher cornering speeds and greater stability.
