RC10T4 RSRTR

Team Associated's RC10T4 racing truck wasted no time in proving itself in world-class competition, with the T4 sweeping the ROAR Modified Nationals Truck title with the Reedy-powered T4 just a few weeks after the truck's initial release. Team Associated is proud to offer the National Championship-winning T4 truck in a Ready-to-Run package, now upgraded to "Race-Spec" standards with a Reedy Radon 17-turn motor, the latest LRP "Ai" digital speed control, and a Team Associated XP2 radio system.

"If you're looking to get into 1/10 electric truck racing but don't have a huge chunk of cash, give the T4 RS a look. Its performance and value will impress you, and you can always upgrade it to Factory Team spec as your budget allows." -- Stephen Bess, RC Car

The T4 RTR 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 suspension design provides maximum front-end clearance and minimizes bump-steer while maintaining desired Ackermann angles. Trailing front axle or optional inline steering blocks and axles can be used to adjust steering response. The suspension arms feature a "captured" hinge pin design so that no e-clips are used. In addition, the T4 includes the heavy-duty front hinge-pin brace and bumper for increased durability.

The transmission 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 higher torque capacity, easier assembly, and lower rotating mass than comparable double-sided slippers.

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 Ready-to-Run comes equipped with strong, dish-style wheels and high-traction racing-compound tires.

The T4RS Ready-to-Run is the Team's state-of-the-art competition truck, and uses all the same, readily-available AE chassis components as our race-proven T4 kits. The T4RS RTR can also be upgraded as your budget and skills allow with the full line of Factory Team T4 hop-ups.

Features

  • Reedy Radon 17-turn electric motor, installed
  • Team Associated XP2 radio system
  • Blue aluminum shocks
  • Your choice of two repainted body color schemes, red or blue
  • Trailing front axle or optional inline steering blocks can be used to tune steering response
  • Angled bellcrank steering minimizes bump steer to maintain constant steering angles throughout the full range of suspension travel
  • Front shocks are mounted behind the shock tower. All four suspension arms utilize a captured hinge pin design that uses no E-clips
  • New 2.6:1 laydown transmission now uses the higher torque capacity differential from the RC10GT. Ultra-compact, efficient, low-CG design.
  • Longer dogbones 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.
