TC series • 1:10 scale • electric powered • 4WD touring car Team Associated Factory Team TC5 Touring Car Team Associated's Area 51 is proud to announce the release of the Factory Team TC5. The TC5 is Area-51’s answer to the most competitive onroad touring car field in history. Starting with a blank sheet of paper, many decades of race winning experience and new ideas, the designers built the TC5 from the ground up producing an entirely new platform. The result is the TC5, an electric touring car that offers the performance and durability to stand up to the highest demands of touring car racing. The TC5 starts with a full ball bearing, dual belt-drive system that transfers all the power from the motor smoothly and efficiently. With today’s motors and batteries delivering more power than ever before, the belt-drive system gives the TC5 a very predictable throttle response and feel, making it easier to drive fast and carry more speed through the corners. The newly designed composite ball differentials are super light for reduced rotational mass. Reducing the weight of the diffs lets the TC5 accelerate harder out of the corners. The new diffs are also quick and easy to maintain, and are strong featuring blue aluminum outdrive-saver rings. Hardened-steel CVAs with cross-pin retaining clips and blue aluminum clamping wheel hexes offer reliable service getting all the power to the wheels. The TC5 has also received an updated, fully adjustable and more durable suspension package. The rugged new A-arms pivot on 3mm inner hinge-pins and 2.5mm outer hinge pins, making it easier than ever to drive away from some of the most severe mishaps. Fully adjustable roll-centers and hinge-pin angles (anti & pro-squat) help you to squeeze every last ounce of handling potential out of the TC5. The steering is handled by a mono-bellcrank with adjustable Ackerman for more precision and less play. An integrated adjustable servo-saver releases only when you need it to and not before. Front and rear anti-roll bars are included. A VCS2 shock package is included and features hard anodized threaded shock bodies and are very quick and easy to rebuild thanks to the silicone shock bladders. Weight-bias is a very important part of tuning any race car and to accommodate this, the stiff 3mm carbon fiber shock towers are indexed with center-holes to assist in balancing the TC5 side-to-side. The TC5’s 2.5mm carbon fiber chassis and top plate together with the blue aluminum bulkheads makes for a very rigid chassis assembly. This chassis rigidity gives the TC5 a broad sweet-spot making it easier than ever to get dialed in for high grip carpet racing or for low traction parking lot racing and all the conditions in between. Team Associated's Area 51 has produced a touring car that racers have been talking about for many months and now the time has come to set the record straight. Team AE is the winningest race team in the business and the Factory TC5 will show everyone how we got there.

The TC3’s race-proven shaft-drive design captured many national and international championships in the past few years, and has spawned numerous imitations. Now the Team is proud to introduce the next generation RC10TC4 Touring Car… the refinement of the proven TC3 racing platform, optimized with more precise tuning features, better balance, and greater durability. The TC4’s chassis has been designed with the batteries moved closer to the centerline of the car… a favorite TC3 modification of many Factory Team drivers. This “mass centralization” allows quicker directional transitions, and the narrower chassis provides more side-to-side roll clearance. The inline motor mounting system features an all-new machined aluminum motor mount which not only provides greater motor stability, but also functions as an integral heat sink to draw heat away from today’s hotter modified motors. An optional “Factory Team” TC4 chassis forced air duct system provides even greater airflow to the motor. Of course, the TC4 is supported by a full line of “Factory Team” performance parts, including blue titanium turnbuckles, optional radial heatsinks, a forced air-duct system, and the entire range of graphite chassis components. Factory Team TC4 Team Associated’s new Factory Team TC4 already has a big win before the kits had been boxed. Team Associated’s U.K. driving star Craig Drescher won the prestigious invitational Touring Car class at the 2005 Reedy International Race of Champions. Craig beat the world’s best drivers, chassis, and motor builders in the industry to take the overall win. This was Associated's first race with the Factory Team TC4 and the entire team was impressed with the level of performance and adjustability provided by the new chassis design, and Craig winning the event was truly, “icing on the cake”! The FT TC4 marks a milestone in electric touring car development by allowing maximum chassis stiffness adjustability without replacing the main chassis. It features a double deck 2.5mm woven carbon fiber chassis that incorporates an adjustable carbon fiber spine plate. The chassis spine plate allows an extremely wide range of chassis stiffness adjustment in small increments. This allows the chassis to be dialed in for high grip carpet racing or for low grip parking lot racing and everything in between. In addition to the spine plate, there are four blue aluminum chassis brace standoffs that allow even more chassis stiffness adjustment. Racers around the world will appreciate that they do not need to disassemble their entire car or shell out more cash in order to change the chassis stiffness of the Factory Team TC4. Just make the adjustments to the chassis spine plate or standoffs and you’re dialed. If all these tuning options were not enough, we included two, three-piece anti-roll bar kits for the front and rear of the FT TC4. Another major tuning option included in the FT TC4 is that you can choose between two types of differentials, based on the class of racing you participate in. The lightweight composite diffs provide increased acceleration in 19 turn or stock class racing. The lightened, steel differentials easily tolerate the very high demands for strength which modified racing requires.

TC4 Team Kit R/C Car, February 2005 "The TC4 is the next generation, incorporating all that Associated has learned during the four years since the TC3 was first released. With its more centralized mass, the TC4 makes lightning fast directional changes, and thanks to myriad other changes, the car is both more durable and more adjustable." Up front, the TC4 features the double-decked impact-resistant plastic and lightweight foam bumper system adopted from the Nitro TC3. The shock towers have also been redesigned for greater strength, and now have four upper shock mounting hole options. The rear body mounts have also been relocated outward on the shock tower to give wider support to the body. The drive train of the TC4 has received many refinements, including a new design 6061 T6 blue anodized aluminum drive shaft that fits in stronger, beefed-up composite drive cups. The included genuine Kimbrough 72-tooth spur gear mounts on a more secure, 3-bolt hub with 6 mounting positions to fit most any spur gear. The blue aluminum MIP CVD’s have also been upgraded from the previous-generation TC3, and are now thicker and 3 times stronger for maximum resistance to bending. The molded composite wheel hex drives now feature a “star drive” shape which allows more exact manufacturing tolerances, and a more precise fit with most standard touring car wheels. The TC4 comes standard with blue anodized aluminum threaded shock bodies, a feature previously included only on the Factory Team level kits. The TC4’s all-new suspension components spent many months of development in Area 51, resulting in major improvements in adjustability, precision, and strength. The inner arm hinge pins are now larger-diameter, 40% stronger, and are captured in the arm mounts by pivot balls to provide consistently free, non-binding movement. This floating hinge pin system allowed us to develop an all-new anti-dive, anti-squat suspension adjustment shim system front and rear. The wheelbase is now adjustable .090” at the inboard suspension hinge pins, providing, total of .180 adjustment. Both the front and rear suspension links feature vertical ballstud adjustment for making precise changes in your chassis’ roll-center. The steering system has also been optimized, and now features a new dual-bellcrank/rack configuration similar to the Nitro TC3. This ball-bearing supported system is less susceptible to capturing track debris that could bind up the rack’s movement, and also features an integral spring-loaded servo saver and Ackerman adjustments using the optional ballstud spacers.

In the beginning, it was known as "Project Roswell." And although we don’t claim to have designed the new TC3 with the help of any "alien technology," we did venture into design and manufacturing techniques far beyond where we’d ever gone before.
We started with a clean slate, designing the TC3 from the ground up specifically as a touring car, not a converted 4WD buggy. An all new, computer-optimized shaft drive system proved to be the most efficient, durable, and serviceable drive train possible, and eliminated the design compromises inherent in belt-drive systems. The TC3 uses our race-proven, carbide-ball equipped Associated differentials and MIP CVD’s both front and rear for a smooth transfer of power. Pro-Line’s new spoke design, standard hex-mount wheels with their V-Rage tires enable the TC3 to hook up on most any track. Kimbrough gears are used in all kit TC3s.
The TC3 Team kit includes "Factory Team" blue titanium turnbuckles, PTFE-sealed and rubber-sealed ball bearings, blue-anodized aluminum-bodied VCS Macro Shocks, Kimbrough spur gears, and blue-anodized MIP CVD’s. If you want to both go fast and look good, this kit is it!
The TC3 Factory Team kit is loaded with the most sought-after killer performance hop-ups ever assembled in one kit! Over $370.00 worth of Factory Team parts included! Our Factory Team graphite, blue aluminum and titanium parts give unparalleled setup and tuning possibilities out of the box. Your favorite optional tires, wheels, body and electronics coupled to the TC3 shaft-drive engineering can transform an already-formidable contender into a flag-grabbing winner!
Built for the serious sedan racer, the new RC10TC3 is simply the most technologically-advanced touring car on the market today. And yes, it is rocket science.
The chassis has been computer-optimized for maximum rigidity and minimal torsional flex.
Droop screws help adjust front and rear suspension arm droop with the included droop gauge.
Kimbrough spur gears are included in all kits.
2-piece aluminum motor mount features a built-in heat sink.
