Team Associated RC10 T6.1 Team - 70002 - Radio Controlled Model

   Introduced by Team Associated in 2018, the RC10T6.1 Team Kit - 70002 - was designed and developed for top level racing, in conjunction with the RC10B6.1 buggy, sharing a number of key components.

   The T6.1 Team Kit is based on a hard anodised alloy plate chassis, with a ball differential, lay-down stealth gearbox, V2 Big Bore coil spring over oil filled threaded dampers, CVA drive-shafts, turnbuckles and a full set of ball bearings.

   To race the Team Associated T6.1 Team, it must be fine tuned to improve handling, provide responsive steering and give you the grip to cruise around corners at high speed, without slipping off the track. Small adjustments can make a Big difference and our step by step procedure, will guide you to the best Set-up for your individual driving style.

Choosing the best Wheels

   When it comes to wheels, the majority of people tend to go for what looks good, something that will make their car stand out from the crowd, but are they the best wheels for you when it comes to winning races on the track?

   Quite a number of years ago I read an article in an RC magazine about RC model wheels and how important it is to have the right ones on your car. I was so impressed by that article that I immediately sold off all my old wheels and bought a batch of new ones - why? Read on.

Shock Mount Settings

   The combinations of Shock settings available on the majority of on and off road cars are far too many for this article to cover, so I will endeavour to explain some of the basics, that should give you some idea what these changes might achieve. Some of the settings suggested may not be available on all RC model cars.

   If you look at the lower wishbones of you model, you may see a number of holes alongside where the ball studs for the dampers are positioned. If you were to remove those studs on the rear wishbone and reposition them in the hole further out from the center of the car, the first thing you will notice is the ride height has dropped, this can be corrected by adding C spacers above the springs. The second thing you will notice is the shocks are more sluggish, this can be compensated by using thinner oil.
