Overview
The Team Associated RC10 Jay Halsey Chain Drive 4WD kit combines vintage RC10 styling with a modernized version of the experimental chain-driven concept raced at the 1985 IFMAR Off-Road World Championships. It is designed for builders who value RC history without giving up tunability or durable running gear.
Its heavy-duty stainless-steel chain, hardened sprockets, carbon-fiber chain separator and adjustable tension system form the centerpiece of the drivetrain. Short-arm suspension geometry, long-travel aluminum shocks and high-torque ball differentials support precise off-road handling.
Key Features
- Stainless-steel heavy-duty chain drive
- Hardened chain sprocket gears
- Carbon-fiber chain separator and adjustable tension
- Front CVA axles and hardened driveshafts
- Sealed three-gear Stealth A.T.C. transmissions
- High-torque ball differentials
- Fluid-filled anodized aluminum coil-over shocks
- Classic gold chassis and RC10 Protech body
- Full metal ball bearings
- Accepts 6-cell NiMH or 2S LiPo packs
Performance Benefits
True 4WD traction and a low center of gravity help the buggy accelerate and change direction with confidence, while long-travel suspension and generous ground clearance improve control over uneven off-road surfaces.
Usage Notes
This is an unassembled 1/10-scale kit intended for experienced hobbyists. Set chain tension and ball differentials carefully, use electronics appropriate for a vintage-style 1/10 buggy, and paint the clear polycarbonate body with compatible paint.
