RC10B6.1 Factory Lite

Shedding over 45 grams of weight from the original B6.1D, the Factory Lite was designed to excel in classes requiring Spec motors.

Champions by design. 1:10 scale 2WD off road has been Team Associated's signature class since the release of the RC10 in 1984. The Team Associated RC10 buggy series has won 12 of the 17 I.F.M.A.R. World Championships contested since the racing class began. In fact, Team Associated has won more 2WD I.F.M.A.R World Championships than all other manufacturers combined!

The engineering continues. Team Associated's RC10B6.1 has been met with wild success by racers across the globe. As good as that may be, the engineers of Team Associated's Area 51 became aware of the advantages that could be gained in certain track conditions by racing a lighter-weight B6.1.

Enter the RC10B6.1 Factory Lite. Shedding over 45 grams of weight from the original B6.1D, the Factory Lite was designed to excel in classes requiring Spec motors, allowing the racer to take full advantage of the performance offered by the reduced weight. The Factory Lite sheds 30 of the 45 grams in rotational mass alone.

Parts used to achieve the weight savings include the MIP Pucks(TM) system, MIP Pucks(TM) 7075-T6 aluminum outdrives, MIP Pucks(TM) Bi-Metal(TM) lightweight R-CVD bones (67mm), Factory Team direct drive system, and a lightweight body.

These were the Reedy Power items used in the Factory Lite to WIN the recent 17.5 2WD Buggy National Title!
