Team Associated RC10 RC Buggy Electric 2WD 1/10 Scale Kit - 1989 Stealth Car Masami Edition

The RC10 "Stealth" was propelled by its groundbreaking Stealth® 3-gear transmission, a secret weapon that provided smoother and more efficient power delivery. This innovative design, equipped with an internal slipper clutch, proved its mettle in top-tier competition, setting a new standard for off-road buggy performance and becoming a cornerstone for subsequent Team Associated vehicles.

Driven by Masami Hirosaka, the RC10 "Stealth" car clinched a World Championship, a victory that remains one of RC history's most iconic moments. Masami, a global icon with an astonishing 14 IFMAR World Championship titles, showcased his unmatched versatility and technical prowess, working closely with leading brands to advance RC technology. His influence continues to shape the sport.

At the core of the "Stealth" car's performance was its unique chassis, specially fabricated to perfectly suit its fully independent suspension. This innovative design utilised a narrowed and milled aluminium chassis, significantly reducing weight while boosting agility. Extensive use of lightweight materials, including carbon fibre and titanium, underscored a philosophy built on speed, balance, and lasting durability for competition.

The "Stealth" car’s suspension was purpose-built for competition, with a modified front end offering sharper steering response. The rear featured longer suspension arms and revised shock positioning, providing increased traction and stability. This integrated approach to suspension design ensured exceptional agility and composure, allowing the buggy to maintain its edge on demanding race tracks.

The "Stealth" car was equipped with competition-proven wheels, designed with low mass and minimal flex for stable, predictable handling. These were paired with low-profile, special compound racing rubber Team Associated TQ tyres, featuring high-traction formulas and specific spike patterns at all four corners, ensuring tenacious grip and balanced handling on any off-road surface.

The "Stealth" car replica is a meticulously detailed tribute, featuring a CNC machined aluminium chassis and carbon fibre top plate. It boasts hard anodised shock bodies and caps, along with universal driveshafts. Authentic 89’ Stealth® car suspension components, replica tyres, and the iconic Masami world championship livery decal sheet ensure this model is a true collector's item and a formidable racer.
