Overview
The Team Associated Trophy Rat RTR is a 1/10 scale ready-to-run 2WD brushless electric short course truck that combines unmistakable show-truck looks with proven race-bred performance. Inspired by the full-size Northrup Fabrication Trophy Rat—a perfect blend between a trophy truck and a rat rod with an LS6 Corvette engine—this RC version delivers both incredible scale detail and serious off-road capability.
Built on Team Associated's 9-time ROAR Short Course National Championship-winning platform, the Trophy Rat is both all show and all go. The truck features water-resistant Reedy brushless electronics, DVC gyro stability control, integrated LED lights front and rear, and the aggressive styling that makes the original Trophy Rat an automotive legend.
