RC10L series • 1:10 scale • electric powered • pan car
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.
The
RC10L2 is our third generation road and oval car design. For this car we
kept many of the proven features from the RC10LS & RC10LSO, but added the
new features that were used to win both the 1996 1:12 and 1:10 on road World
Championships such as the new high tech composite material used for the
front suspension and a new front suspension brace. Our new symmetrical T-bar
design and T-bar pivot brace gives the L2/L2O the smoothest handling of past
cars. Our Team drivers say it makes the cars easier to drive and tune. We
moved the dampener post location, designed a new rear chassis brace and
added removable dampener roll stop inserts to make the rear pod action more
consistent and quicker to respond. The entire rear pod was redesigned. We
started with a new composite left bulkhead which is cut away for better
motor access. The new motor bulkhead lowers the motor in the car and the new
cutaway dampener top plate makes it easier to solder in the motor wires. All
of this creates a car that is easy to drive and has more traction and better
handling on rough tracks. At the same time the car is aggressive, yet offers
many simple but quick tuning options. These and other features make this car
a Championship winning car. |
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.
R/C 2-channel surface frequency radio system.
Battery pack (6 cell).
Battery charger.
Electronic speed control.
R/C electric motor.
Pinion gear, 48 pitch.
1:10 scale body.
