Description
Overview
The Team Associated RC10 Trail Truck Portal Kit is a performance-oriented 1/10 scale rock crawler built to conquer the most challenging terrain with confidence. At the heart of this trail-ready machine is the revolutionary Stealth® X gearbox, which allows you to adjust the rear drive ratio independently of the front across three levels: stock overdrives the front end 5.7%, option 1 provides a one-to-one ratio, and option 2 overdrives the front end 11.83%. This versatility lets you optimize traction for any crawling situation.
The RC10 Trail Truck Portal Kit features new high-clearance portal axles that provide almost an inch more ground clearance than standard straight axles. These portal axles include all-metal gears, ball bearings, and a larger pocket for a heavier-duty inner input bearing. Combined with the Enduro drivetrain featuring 3-piece telescopic driveshafts, universal front drive axles, and hardened steel ring and pinion gears, this rig delivers reliable power to all four corners. The RC10-inspired styling pays tribute to the legendary 1984 off-road buggy with a full-color Camel Yellow tribute livery.
