Overview
Iconic Trophy Truck Style with Championship‑Proven Performance
The Team Associated Trophy Rat is a 1/10 scale ready‑to‑run (RTR) 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, this RC version blends trophy truck aggression with rat‑rod attitude, all built on Team Associated’s ROAR National Championship‑winning short course platform.

About the Trophy Rat Short Course Truck
Unique Scale Trophy Rat Body
The Trophy Rat features a highly detailed scale body modeled after the custom full‑size Trophy Rat, capturing the raw industrial look of a classic rat rod fused with modern off‑road racing design. Integrated front and rear LED lights add realism and improve visibility during low‑light running.
Proven 2WD Short Course Chassis
Under the body is a low‑center‑of‑gravity composite chassis derived from Team Associated’s championship‑winning SC10 platform. The rear‑wheel‑drive layout delivers responsive steering, predictable handling, and classic short course truck dynamics.
Independent suspension with adjustable geometry allows the truck to handle jumps, ruts, and rough terrain with confidence.
Brushless Power System
The Trophy Rat comes factory‑equipped with a powerful and reliable brushless setup:
- Reedy 3300 kV brushless motor
-
Water‑resistant Reedy brushless ESC with LiPo low‑voltage cutoff
- Smooth acceleration and strong top‑end speed
This system provides excellent performance while remaining manageable for a wide range of drivers.
Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC)
An included DVC receiver with built‑in adjustable gyro helps stabilize the truck by reducing oversteer and improving straight‑line tracking. Drivers can tune or disable the gyro as skills progress, making the Trophy Rat both beginner‑friendly and rewarding for experienced drivers.
Precision Steering & Upgraded Suspension
A high‑torque metal‑gear digital servo ensures precise and durable steering control. Suspension upgrades include:
- Blue‑anodized aluminum 12 mm big‑bore oil‑filled shocks
- Heavy‑duty sealed gear differential
- Externally adjustable V2 slipper clutch
- Rear CVA driveshafts for improved traction and reliability
Ready‑to‑Run Convenience
The Trophy Rat arrives fully assembled and ready to run, complete with a 2.4 GHz radio system. Simply add your battery and charger, install transmitter batteries, and you’re ready to hit the terrain.
