Thank you for purchasing this Team Associated product. This assembly manual contains instructions and
tips for building and maintaining your new RC10 B64D.
Please take a moment to read through this manual to help familiarize yourself with these steps.
We are continually changing and improving our designs; therefore, actual parts may appear slightly
different than in the illustrations.
New parts will be noted on supplementary sheets located in the appropriate parts bags.
Check each bag for these sheets before you start to build.
It all started with a 1-2-3 sweep. In 2007, the RC10B44 swept the podium at the I.F.M.A.R. World
Championships. Since then, Team Associated’s first 1:10 scale 4WD buggy has held a dominant place at
the front of the field. The B44 platform has gone on to win numerous National and International titles and
added two more I.F.M.A.R. World Championships to its legacy in 2011 and 2013.
Speed, grip and durability. Designed to take advantage of today’s faster-than-ever tracks, the RC10B64D
Team Kit offers increased durability, all new suspension geometry, a wider tuning window, improved weight
distribution, and easy maintenance. Excelling on dirt and clay surfaces, the B64D’s adjustable axle height
and roll centers result in a stable yet nimble platform. With a new and improved center differential, the
B64D rewards the driver with maximum drive out of all four wheels.
Additional RC10B64D Team Kit Features:
• V2 12mm “Big Bore” threaded aluminum shocks with 3mm TiN coated shafts and low friction x-rings for
improved smoothness
• Factory Team floating aluminum motor mount and aluminum/carbon servo mounts
• Refined arm mount geometry with quick and easy tuning
• Front and rear anti-roll bars keep chassis flat for increased corner speed

shock towers
