The 1:10 scale, electric-powered RC10 buggy has proven itself to be the car to beat for the last 15 years. It won the first ever IFMAR 1:10 Off Road World Championship title in 1984-85, as well as four of the five IFMAR 1:10 Off Road World Championships it competed in.
The Associated transmission’s contribution to the success of the RC10 is shown by the fact that three of the four IFMAR 1:10 Off Road World Championship titles, held by the RC10, have been won using the Associated transmission.
The RC10 during its eleven years was updated through various models and has compiled the most successful win record in our hobby.
The B2, the second generation RC10, won the 1995 IFMAR 1:10 World Championships held at Yatabe Arena in Japan, giving us our fifth Worlds title. It took five out of ten places in the A-main.
The new B3 adds to its arsenal a new Quadra-symmetric suspension for exceptionally well-balanced, stable chassis for even better handling on rough tracks. The Associated tranny’s completely redesigned, larger-diameter slipper clutch handles higher torque demands more efficiently.
The B3 continued the Associated winning streak by TQ'ing two IFMAR Worlds back-to-back and winning the 1999 Worlds in Finland!
