Hot on the heels of the acclaimed RC10B4 buggy comes the RC10T4, Team Associated’s new state-of-the-art electric racing truck.
The T4 features a longer wheelbase, a full 1/2 inch wider than the previous generation T3 truck, putting the T4 at the maximum ROAR legal dimensions for higher cornering speeds and stability during jumping and through bumpy sections of the track.
The result is a truck with a tremendous range of tuneability for everything from loose, dusty tracks to high-bite, blue-groove conditions. The T4 provides the more stable, predictable driving feel that serious racers expect.

"If you're a seasoned racer or just someone looking for the best truck for the buck, this is the truck for you."--Steve Trebing
Team Associated announces the new Factory Team RC10T4 Truck kit ... the truck won the ROAR Off Road National Championship! Now you can get your own, full-option "Factory" ride truck complete with over $190 worth of Factory Team upgrades!
The Team's standard threaded, hard-anodized PTFE-coated shocks with Unobtainium shafts handle the damping on all four corners. A complete set of 14 PTFE-sealed bearings are included to ensure smooth, efficient operation. Lightweight outdrives are included, as well as a new clear injection-molded gear cover. To get the power to the ground, the T4 Factory Team comes with Pro-Line M3 "Holeshot T" rear tires and M3 compound "Edge" front tires on white Pro-Line dish wheels.
The T4 Factory Team features all molded carbon components including the chassis, front and rear shock towers, front and rear A-Arms, chassis brace, and top plate. The battery strap is made of woven carbon fiber, and comes with a chrome/black "AE Factory Team" sticker.
No Factory Team kit would be complete without a full array of "Factory Blue" components, so the T4 includes blue titanium turnbuckles, aluminum servo mounts, wheel spacers, front hinge pin brace, body clips, and a lightweight milled blue aluminum motor mounting plate.
If you're serious about racing, get the same truck used to win the ROAR Off Road National Championship .. Team Associated's Factory Team T4. Radio Control Car Action Reader's Choice 2005 winner for Electric Buggy!
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.
2.6:1 laydown transmission now uses the higher torque capacity differential from the RC10GT. Ultra-compact, efficient, low-CG design.
Long CVD dog bones 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.

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.
