The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Golden Tribute to Off-Road History! If you want to experience the vehicle that changed the RC racing world forever, this is your chance. Celebrating 41 years since the original 1984 release, the Team Associated RC10 2025 Metallic Edition is a spectacular homage to the legendary 2WD buggy. At Hobby Hideaway, we appreciate a kit that honors its roots while delivering the mechanical satisfaction of a classic build. Whether you are assembling it for a pristine display shelf or taking it out for some vintage racing, this limited-edition release is a must-have piece of RC history.

Vintage Styling, Race-Proven Engineering This kit stays incredibly true to the original world championship-winning design. The centerpiece is the stunning gold-anodized aluminum monocoque tub chassis, beautifully etched with the iconic AE logo. It features fully adjustable independent suspension, smooth long-throw fluid-filled shocks, and a VariLok adjustable differential. It is a faithful reproduction of 1980s racing technology, complete with simulated gold-plated modular wheels that give it an unmistakable, premium aesthetic.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Limited 41st Anniversary Edition: A faithful reproduction celebrating the legacy of the original 1984 RC10.

• Premium Gold Chassis: Features a rigid, gold-anodized aluminum alloy monocoque tub etched with the classic Team Associated font.

• Vintage Wheels: Includes 3-piece modular clamping wheels with a simulated gold-plated finish and quick-release knockoffs.

• Classic Suspension: Equipped with long-throw aluminum racing shocks and rugged, precision-molded nylon suspension components.

• VariLok Differential: Features a low-profile gearbox with an adjustable differential, protected by an integrated motor heat sink.

• Customizable: The clear polycarbonate body and tintable nylon parts allow you to personalize your vintage build.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: If you plan to run this classic buggy instead of just displaying it as a shelf queen, remember that the precision-molded nylon suspension components are tintable! You can use custom RC dyes to change the color of the white nylon parts before assembly to match your custom paint job. Also, while it can handle a modern 2S LiPo battery, be mindful of pairing it with excessively powerful modern brushless motors to preserve the classic drivetrain components.
