Team Associated RC10L3T

Touring cars have taken the RC world by storm, and Team Associated’s 10L3 Touring is a new high-performance, low-cost alternative to the more expensive and complex 4WD touring cars on the market today. Based on the race-proven Associated 10L-series technology, the L3 Touring is tailored to fit most standard 190mm-width touring sedan and GT-1 style bodies and includes some components as standard features that are usually only available as expensive optional equipment. The result is a touring car that can outperform most 4WD sedans, especially on high-traction, indoor carpet tracks.

The 10L3 Touring is available in two versions, a Sport kit that includes a composite chassis and bushings, and a Team version with a graphite chassis, ball bearings and specially-selected compound Jaco tires mounted on their lightweight composite wheels. Team Associated’s exclusive VCS Macro Shock handles the front-to-rear dampening and suspension, and two VCS Micro Shocks handle the side-to-side dampening and allow easy tweak adjustments on the Team version.
For racers seeking an extra performance edge, Associated also offers many optional hop-ups, including a carbon-fiber left bulkhead, a lightweight machined magnesium motor mounting bulkhead, and a full "Factory Blue" aluminum screw kit. Fast on asphalt... ballistic on carpet... the RC10L3 Touring offers the highest performance value for the dollar of any touring car kit in the world.

With the combination of the RC10L3 Touring's wide range of tunability, "Factory Team" components, and Associated's winning history behind it, the 10L3 Touring will be your best choice to conquer any on road track.

Features

The rear suspension of the Team version is three-shock design. Two of Team Associated's super-smooth VCS Micro Shocks handle the side-to-side dampening and tweak, eliminating the need for tweak screws. The larger center shock is the new VCS Macro Shock, a lightweight, full-composite shock with Team Associated's exclusive Volume Compensating System for the smoothest possible, most consistent dampening. A full assortment of different springs are available for both the VCS Micro and Macro Shocks for greater tuning options. The Sport Kit version uses tweak screws instead of side shocks.

The left wheel hub in both kits has a new "clamping" design, and both rear hubs have been redesigned and milled out for substantial weight savings. There's no need to buy expensive, aftermarket hubs anymore-- these new hubs are unsurpassed for the tightest manufacturing tolerances and concentricity, and are made of the lightest, strongest aircraft-quality T-6 aluminum available.

Team Associated’s new featherweight (approx. 1/5 oz.), high-density foam bumper protects and supports the front of your car’s body, and provides excellent chassis protection from the high-speed impacts of oval racing. It comes in both kit versions with the body post holes already in place.

Jaco tires are the choice of many world-class on road racers, and due to an exclusive agreement with Pro-Line Racing, Team Associated is able to offer the 10L3 Touring with specially-selected compound Jaco tires mounted on their lightweight composite wheels at no extra cost.

Associated's new, improved "Factory Team" rear axle is also included in the Team kit, and its graphite-thru construction makes it the most concentric, strongest, and lightest rear axle design on the market today.

The RC10L3 Touring utilizes Team Associated's Dynamic Strut Front Suspension with fully adjustable caster, camber and toe-in. A set of Team Associated's new "Factory Team" blue titanium turnbuckles are included in the Team kit for their light weight and outstanding strength.

For those racers seeking an extra performance edge, Associated also offers several aftermarket hop-ups, including a carbon-fiber left bulkhead, a lightweight machined magnesium right motor mounting bulkhead, and a full "Factory Blue" aluminum screw kit. The Sport version includes Associated wheels and tires.

Team Associated RC10L2

Associated’s on road foray began with the RC12e 1:12 scale electric car, which went on to win numerous National Championships. It was later followed by the RC12i, which won the very first 1:12 World Championships in Anaheim, California, and then the next World Championships in Denmark. The 12L followed this winning tradition by taking 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th at the World Championships in Las Vegas.

This winning 1:12 design was the basis for the RC10L 1:10 scale car.
The RC10L proved itself on both road courses and flat oval tracks. For the growing popularity of high banked oval tracks we developed a Super Speedway version. This car had a narrower chassis and body for higher top speeds, reduced battery current draw and longer run times. In 1993 we released the RC10LS and RC10LSO, which included our new Dynamic Strut Front Suspension and new shock with PTFE piston and assembly parts.

1996 saw Associated’s RC10L2 win the IFMAR World Championships and a modified version of the L2O set a new world speed record of 87.29mph!

Dynamic Strut front suspension, for adjustable caster, camber and toe-in.
Symmetrical T-bar design and T-bar pivot brace gives the L2/L2O the smooth handling.
Removable dampener roll stop inserts to make the rear pod action more consistent and quicker to respond.
Composite left bulkhead, cut away for better motor access.

10L2 Oval (discontinued)

The RC10L2 Oval edition has the same features as above, but also offers a new chassis design. This chassis has wider battery slots which allows the driver to move the batteries in or out to adjust the weight bias to their preference. The chassis is already set up to accept a 5th body mount to support the hood on a NASCAR style body.
