Team Associated Factory Team RC10R5

[Reporter]

Team Associated releases his new 1:10 200mm Pan Car, the Factory Team RC10R5 based on the Factory Team RC12R5.
This is so a new contender in this category and it will be interesting to see those car evolving in race condition as all rules must be defined in term of motors and battery as others.

Team Associated Factory Team RC10R5

The new Factory Team RC10R5 is Team Associated’s entry into the fast-growing 1:10 scale World GT onroad racing class. With Team Associated’s twenty-five years of 1:12 and 1:10 scale onroad racing history, we are very excited to offer the Factory Team RC10R5 to this new emerging class!

Starting with the highly successful RC12R5 platform, the designers in Area-51 built the bigger RC10R5 on a 2.5mm woven carbon fiber chassis that utilizes a pivot-ball link rear suspension that allows for independent adjustments for chassis roll, bump and alignment.

Having the ability to make these chassis adjustments independently gives the RC10R5 greater potential to get the best possible handling from the car and the track surface. While testing, the pivot ball-link chassis has proven to be more durable in high speed impacts and much better in bumpy track conditions.

The RC10R5 features new shocks that have a through-shaft design, making for equalized damping throughout the full stroke of the shock in both directions, without any unwanted rebound. The center shock tower has four mounting positions that split the spring rates for even finer adjustments. The new center shock also controls the chassis droop and can be adjusted on the car with a turnbuckle wrench, making it easier and quicker to get dialed in.

The RC10R5’s ‘Active Strut’ front end has been optimized, featuring symmetric components with adjustable caster and track width, as well as a new front axle with wheel nut. Factory Team blue aluminum servo mounts position the servo flat on the chassis for a lower center of gravity and include Ackermann adjustment spacers.

The foam front bumper helps protect body and chassis during impacts.
The RC10R5 features a wide rear pod optimized and balanced for brushless, woven carbon fiber top plate, and Factory Team blue aluminum machined motor mount and left-side bulkhead. The woven carbon fiber top plate attaches to the motor mount and leftside bulkhead at four points, making the RC10R5’s rear pod more rigid and durable.

The RC10R5 uses 90% of the same parts as the RC12R5, making it easier than ever for current 1:12 scale racers to jump into the fun of bigger cars with scale bodies that is the World GT class.

RC10R5 Factory Team features:

• Designed to fit World GT racing class specs

asso investi vraiment chez renault, deux r5 pour le prix d'une !!

pas mal du tout...

Le hot-linking a pas la vie belle ces temps-ci... deja deux news ou les photos marchent pas...

[Christophe Blandin]

Enfin dispo en France

[litchy]

un ptit up!
il y a t'il des avis de personne qui ce serait laissé tenter par ce kit?

[Kerb]

Je suis à deux doigts... Reste plus que mon détaillant préféré fasse rentrer des pneus et je pense que je vais me lancer !

Et tu compte rouler avec des 4éléments ou LIPO?
j'aimerais savoir si certain roule en lipo avec ce chassis et comment on t'il fait pour caser le pack? L'adaptation a l'air moins facile que sur la CRC

[Kerb]

A priori avec des lipo saddle... ça doit pouvoir s'adapter non ?

[piertiss]

je me posait la question pour les lipo en stick en fait, car j'en ai deja pour le dtm

[piertiss]

je viens de trouver la reponse a ma question lol en fait ça passe mais dans la longueur...

[Kerb]

Bon, j'ai la mienne !
Il y a d'autres possesseurs de ce châssis pour échanger des tuyaux ?

RC10R5 LiPo conversion kit

The kit can accommodate different thicknesses of LiPo pack, and different configurations such as stick or saddle styles. NiMh cells can also be fitted. To retain the pack, cell tape is used through the original battery slots, and an extra loop can be placed through the chassis lightening holes.

[IMG][/IMG]

To be honest, this should be a factory standard option. These cars are begging for more power than 4 cell. There's so much space on the chassis, a 6 cell pack or LiPo fits easily with enough space for plenty of other gear. On LiPos and a decent brushless power system the R5 is a rocket ship.
To fit this kit you will not need to modify the chassis or anything else in any way. You can return to the standard 4 cell configuration easily.

WHAT YOU GET:

2mm woven carbon fibre bridge with 4 shock mounting options
Relocated antenna mount position
Machined aluminium bridge supports
All mounting screws

*********************

RC10R5 235mm front end conversion
Punch the car out to a full 235mm to run it as a true Pro-10. Bring back the days of 75mph finals and marshals in hockey gear!
The primary subframe is machined out of 3mm solid carbon. To increase the strength and stiffness the 2mm tie bar is re-profiled to better take the buckling loads. You still need to widen the rear track with offset hubs to bring the back end out to the same width.

WHAT YOU GET:

2mm woven carbon fibre tie bar
3mm woven carbon fibre subframe

Cette solution est elle envisageable sur le 12R5? Ca passerait sous la caro?

on peut aussi remarquer que le proprio de l'auto a vite viré l'amortos d'origine merdiique

[cbombabill]

ptit question sur se genre de model c est les meme pneu que pour les 1/12 qui sont utilisé ?ou c est carément d autre ?
