New Associated DC10 Drift Kit

Came out yesterday

Associated:

New DC10 1:10 RWD Competition Drift Car Kit - #30134
Since 1964, Team Associated has proven to be the leader in competition racing. And with its roots in on-road racing, it makes sense that our Area 51 engineers would develop the ultimate RC drift car, the DC10. In RC drifting, vehicle balance is key. With the many suspension and chassis tuning options of the DC10, drivers can set up their car with precision. From camber, caster, and kingpin inclination (KPI), to motor and battery position, the Team Associated DC10 1:10 RWD Competition Drift Kit has it all!

Thats a page right out of Yokomo's playbook. Its smexy!

Soon to be discontinued, no parts available! Seems to be a pattern with AE. Let's hope not. I know it's about money for these corporations but it gets frustrating for consumers who are stuck with no support.

Looks like Associated isn't playing around with this one. Looks like the price is pretty awesome compared to what you get.

Oh yea. This compared to a 4tec drift. 299 vs 349. This all the way.

MST and yokomo kits, what do their kits price at?

All over the place because they have entry level stuff and pro racing stuff. Well, MST will be the cheaper ones. But Yokomo kits can run up well over $700.

Is it just me or does the front suspension's geometry look like you could lean it forward and back?

You can move the upper arms forward and back to adjust the caster angle. The steering blocks turn on pivot balls so the lower arm doesn’t fix the caster angle to the kick-up angle, but the kick-up is also adjustable. Check out the manual on AE’s website, the setup options look very comprehensive.

EDIT: Removed a stub of a sentence that I couldn’t even remember typing.

Did Lumi have an aneurysm mid sentence

I mean like being able to take the top "arm" and pushing the end of it that's connected to the spindle forwards and back. I feel like it would flex/rotate?

You can move the entire top arm forward and back with spacers. Because it’s on a hinge pin instead of the usual ball stud, it controls the steering block angle.

Hold on I’ll make a photo of what I mean

Wait never mind I guess I didn’t look good enough. It looked like the top arm was just a camber link instead of a mix of an arm and a camber link
