The Ultimate On-Road Racing Machine - TC8 Steel-Spec
Step into victory lane with the Team Associated RC10TC8 Steel Spec Team Kit, a purpose-built 1/10 on-road touring car engineered for maximum grip, ultimate precision, and domination on high-traction surfaces like carpet and prep tracks.
About the RC10 TC8 Steel-Spec
Precision Chassis Innovation
The Team Associated RC10TC8 Steel Spec Team 1/10 On-Road Touring Car is precision-built for high-grip tracks where traction and stiffness are king. Equipped with a TC8SS steel chassis, the Steel-Spec version minimizes flex to deliver razor-sharp responsiveness on carpet and other ultra-high-grip surfaces.
Like its Graphite sibling, the TC8SS features a mid-motor layout and symmetrical belt drive for perfect balance, while the optimized split top deck enhances chassis rigidity without sacrificing controlled flex where needed. Area 51’s expert design team engineered every inch of the TC8 to dominate the competition on today's fastest surfaces.
High-Traction Suspension Tuning
The RC10TC8 Steel Spec’s long-arm pivot ball suspension is tuned for superior handling under high loads, delivering predictable steering and incredible corner speed. Adjustable KPI steering blocks let you fine-tune the feel for different high-grip conditions, while the floating one-piece servo and bell crank mount keeps steering sharp and precise.
Centralized ultra-short shocks and DCV drive shafts on all four corners maximize grip and stability, keeping your car planted and lightning-fast through every turn.
Race-Ready Strength and Consistency
Durability and consistency define the RC10TC8 Steel Spec. Its reinforced TPU front bumper, floating fan, and floating receiver mounts maintain consistent chassis flex even during long, demanding races. High-volume rear differentials, a broad range of diff height adjustments, and a low-flex chassis layout let you dial in the perfect setup for the surface at hand.
Combined with the aerodynamic rear body mount and pillow ball lower arm design for easy tuning, the TC8 Steel-Spec is ready to take on the world's fastest carpet tracks with confidence and precision.
