Race Report
Team Associated's TC3
World's Fastest Touring Car
70.67mph!!
 Dominguez Hills, California--On October 24, 1999, at
NORCCA's annual Oktoberfest oval race, Daryl Silva's Team Associated shaft-drive RC10TC3
made R/C Touring Car history with a 70.67 mph lap of the 1300-foot Cal State Dominguez
Hills Velodrome. This is the fastest speed over officially recorded for a 1:10 4WD
electric Touring Car. Prepared
by Duane Silva, Daryl's brother and oval racing teammate, the TC3 Team Kit was essentially
stock, with the addition of a custom-made zero-degree toe-in rear arm mount, and
extra-heavy springs all around. The TC3 was powered by ten Reedy 2000 Zappers cells and a
Reedy Tri-Sonic 11 Double drag motor built by Mike Reedy with Cobalt magnets.
 The tires were over-the-counter Pro-Line Jaco
capped touring car tires. An LRP V6 electronic speed control was also
used, with the addition of a small receiver pack
 Congratulations to Daryl and Duane on setting this new world
record, officially establishing the TC3 as the World's Fastest Touring Car!
