RC10B64D Team Kit
#90015, $430

It all started with a 1-2-3 sweep

In 2007, the RC10B44 swept the podium at the I.F.M.A.R. World Championships. Since then, Team Associated's first 1:10 scale 4WD buggy has held a dominant place at the front of the field. The B44 platform has gone on to win numerous National and International titles and added two more I.F.M.A.R. World Championships to its legacy in 2011 and 2013.

Speed, grip, and durability

Designed to take advantage of today's faster-than-ever tracks, the RC10B64D Team Kit offers increased durability, all new suspension geometry, a wider tuning window, improved weight distribution, and easy maintenance. Excelling on high-traction surfaces, the B64D's adjustable axle height and roll centers result in a stable yet nimble platform. With a new and improved center differential, the B64D rewards the driver with maximum drive out of all four wheels on dirt and clay surfaces.

Notice the 'D' at the end of the model name? Does it look familiar? The 2WD B6D buggy contained parts specifically designed to race on dirt...which totally leaves the door open for a carpet-specific version of the B64D. In fact, there's a preview of it at the end of the brochure ad for the car in the gallery below. Don't be surprised if that shows up soon, too!
