Overview
The Team Associated RC10B7.1D Team Kit represents over 40 years of 2WD off-road racing evolution, delivering next-level performance purpose-tuned for dirt, clay, and low-grip AstroTurf tracks. Built on the legendary RC10 platform that has dominated competitive racing since 1984, the B7.1D features revolutionary long-arm suspension geometry, weight-centralized electronics layout, KPI-adjustable steering blocks, and expanded tunability throughout the entire chassis. These innovations dramatically increase grip potential, corner speed, and driving smoothness for faster lap times.
The "D" designation indicates this kit is specifically optimized for dirt and low-grip conditions, equipped with a ball differential and setup including softer springs and lower pack shock pistons. The revised 3-gear laydown transmission reduces rotational mass while maintaining the original B7 motor position, and strengthened front suspension arms with hinge pin braces improve durability under aggressive driving.
