Team Associated Factory Team TC6 Kit 1:10 Scale 4WD Electric Touring Car

The RC10TC6 Factory Team kit is the newest edition to the family and legacy of competitive, high performance 4WD touring cars by Team Associated. Designed to take full advantage of all the latest technological advances made in 1:10 scale electronics, the TC6 has been optimized to use all of the benefits offered by brushless motor systems and LiPo batteries. The engineers behind the doors of Area 51 have been hard at work developing the TC6 to blend the best qualities of high performance and adjustability without sacrificing durability or ease of maintenance.

The TC6 takes the same suspension components from the TC5R before it and adds many new features, making it even better. For improved weight distribution, the TC6 motor mount has been moved 13mm closer to the chassis center line and the spur gear has been lowered 5mm compared to the TC5. These changes result in a more centralized mass and lower center of gravity for the TC6 chassis. The servo mounting holes are slotted to not only accommodate different servos but also to optimize the position of the servo mass.

The TC6 includes the Factory Team VCS3 shock package that features hard-anodized threaded shock bodies with bottom-loaded seals. The VCS3 shocks are super smooth and have an increased stroke for more up-travel at the wheels, all adding up to more consistent overall traction.

An updated steering system with additional Ackermann options and an improved steering input rate gives the TC6 more consistent handling. Blue titanium turnbuckles come with new ballcup eyelets for easier access to the ball studs. These are only a few of the many refinements that can be found in the RC10TC6 Factory Team kit - making it yet another Champion by Design!

No droop screws with this kit then :whistling: using the four corners from a TC5 is probably a bad idea, my TC5 was so weak it weren't funny!

The threads aren't cut into wishbones from the factory, so they were made when that kit was being built. I'd say they were taken out for some reason before photos, but will be in the kit (it'd be pointless not to include any).

-Edit-

Just thought, they could be *very* shallow droop screws? Half the length of any other car?

-Edit 2-

Expand this pic, and look at the area under the left rear droop screw - you should *just* about see the thread of the droop screw under the wishbone.

Nice spot Adolf. :good:

I think there are droop screws, the ones in my tc5 have to be screwed in very far to reach the desired setting.
Hmmm, who's getting one?
Just looks the same as the tc5 but with a lipo holder...

CML haven't said yet, but the cheapest I've seen is $359.99, so I'd be betting around the £300 mark? That'd make it the cheapest race-spec TC by some margin.

I'd say probably around £329.99.
