Technical Performance
The Team Associated RC10 '91 Stealth Car Front Bumper represents genuine engineering from one of the most successful RC racing platforms ever created. The 1991 RC10 Stealth Car featured a double deck chassis paired with the famous Stealth transmission, which offered smoother power delivery, improved efficiency, and enhanced durability on demanding track surfaces. The bumper works in concert with the RC10 '91 Stealth's carefully tuned suspension geometry, including adjustable camber links and race-optimised shock packages that allowed Masami Hirosaka to achieve exceptional grip and stability throughout competition. The front end geometry of the RC10 '91 Stealth was engineered with legendary shock tower design that complemented the front suspension system, creating a platform capable of navigating rhythm sections, berms, and jumps with flawless control. The chassis features a 2WD drivetrain with a 2.25:1 internal gear ratio, operating at 1/10 scale with dimensions of 381mm length, 226.8mm width, and a 267.7mm wheelbase. This compact yet robust design, combined with hard anodised coil-over shocks and long-arm independent suspension, required a front bumper engineered to withstand the impacts and demands of international off-road racing. The replacement bumper maintains the same material specifications and dimensional accuracy as the original championship component, ensuring your RC10 '91 Stealth continues to perform at its intended level during track use or display as a collector's piece.
