Technical Performance
The Team Associated RC10 4WD Battery Mount & Chassis Stiffener represents decades of Associated engineering expertise applied to one of the most iconic RC car platforms ever created.

Built using quality materials consistent with Associated's manufacturing standards, this part is engineered to withstand the demands of regular RC driving whilst maintaining perfect dimensional tolerances for reliable fitment and operation. Whether you're running a brushless or brushed motor setup on your RC10 4WD, this component works seamlessly with all standard battery configurations to deliver improved performance and durability.
