Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Team Associated DC10 FT Flex Top Deck compatible with all DC10 models? — This component is specifically engineered for the Team Associated DC10 drift car platform. It is designed for the high motor configuration, so ensure your build uses a high-mounted motor setup for proper compatibility and performance.
• What is the difference between the high motor and low motor flex top deck options? — The high motor version is designed for builds where the motor is mounted higher in the chassis frame. This configuration affects weight distribution, centre of gravity, and overall handling characteristics. If your DC10 build uses a high motor mounting position, this is the correct deck for your application.
• Do I need any other parts to install this flex top deck? — The deck is a component of the upper chassis assembly. You will need the complete DC10 chassis kit and associated components to build a complete drift car. This part replaces the original deck in your chassis.
• Why choose Factory Team parts over standard components? — Factory Team components are engineered and tested to competition-grade standards, featuring tighter tolerances and higher quality control than standard production parts. For serious drift car builders and competitors in the UK, Factory Team parts ensure consistency, reliability, and optimal performance.
• Is this suitable for beginners in RC drifting? — This is a component part rather than a complete vehicle, so it's designed for builders with some RC car experience who are assembling or upgrading a DC10 platform. If you're new to RC drifting, you may want to start with a ready-to-run RC drift car and learn the basics before upgrading to individual performance components.
