TC8 Steel-Spec Team Kit

TC8 Graphite-Spec Team Kit

A revolutionary 1:10th scale 4WD electric touring car from Team Associated. This isn’t an evolution; it’s a complete reimagining of on-road performance. Built from the ground up, the RC10TC8 is a platform engineered to conquer the ever-intensifying world of competitive touring car racing. Area-51’s engineers have redefined what’s possible, packing this chassis with groundbreaking features and refinements.

The TC8’s entirely new geometry represents a paradigm shift in on-road performance. Whether you’re conquering high-grip tracks with the low CG steel chassis (optional),or maximizing flex on lower-grip surfaces with the TC8 Graphite-Spec carbon fiber chassis (optional), the TC8 provides a winning foundation.

Long arm pivot ball suspension, meticulously balanced weight distribution, and an ultra-low center of gravity combined to create a touring car that’s both planted and incredibly responsive. This is the core of the TC8’s vision for the future of touring cars, offering unprecedented tuning capabilities.

From the high-capacity differential to the ultra-short shocks, every component works in harmony. The one-piece servo mount and bell crank assembly deliver laser-like steering precision, while adjustable KPI ensures an unparalleled connection to the track, regardless of conditions. It delivers the performance you need to win, without sacrificing durability, ease of maintenance, or affordability.
