The track surface temperature on that day was around 56celcius(sia tembak tu track use temperature gun..ehehehe..) which is damn hot!

We have talked about the Associated TC5F, the foam tire kit, now here the rubber tire factory team kit. Enjoy it.

Based on Associated’s successful Factory Team TC5, we now bring you the TC5R, an electric touring car chassis that has been optimized for lower traction, rubber tire racing. The components that make up the TC5R have the desired attributes that are sought after for indoor and/or outdoor racing with rubber tires, making the TC5R an even more lethal racing machine!

The TC5R starts with a full ball bearing, dual belt-drive system that transfers all the power from the motor smoothly and efficiently.

With today’s motors and batteries delivering more power than ever before, the belt-drive system gives the TC5R a very predictable throttle response and feel, making it easier to drive fast and carry more speed through the corners.

The blue aluminum ball differentials are super light for reduced rotational mass. Reducing the weight of the diffs lets the TC5R accelerate harder out of the corners. Read more »
