After nearly a week of teasers on various social media websites, Team Associated has officially announced the new vehicles that they have been leading up to: the RC10B6 and RC10B6D!  While the social media teasers have made it quite clear that a 2WD was the focal point of the teasers, many thought this would be just a new revision of the B5 platform.  History has shown a near 10 year interval between platform changes from Team Associated, so the B6/B6D is a welcome surprise to many AE fans.  See the photos below:
