Thank you for purchasing this Team Associated product. This assembly manual contains instructions and tips for building and maintaining your new RC10TC7.2.
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.
With the current touring car platforms reaching an even higher plateau of precision and performance, the Engineers behind the doors of Area-51 wasted no time
in ensuring the TC7.2 is up to the level. The RC10TC7.2-FT comes packed full of a host of new components and features necessary to keep you on top.
As the on-road market advances at an ever increasing rate, more is demanded from the chassis’ to accommodate the ultra-competitive racing classes. A successor
to the TC7.1, the TC7.2 maintains the proven suspension geometry, but adds the refinement to chassis balance and flex necessary for today’s racing class. The
centrally mounted IFM motor mount adds several mounting configurations to help fine tune chassis flex to the racing surface, and also has an integral mounting
position for an optional chassis pitch control system (PCS). The TC7.2 also carries an all new aluminum rear gear differential for the ultimate in precision and heat
dissipation, as well as an ultra-light front spool assembly. Along with a list of new features, the RC10TC7.2 FT gives you everything you need to keep you racing
at the highest level. All without sacrificing low part count or affordability. A well-refined racing chassis with success in its heritage, the RC10TC7.2 FT is another
“Champion by Design” from Team Associated!
o A narrow 84mm wide to minimize chassis dragging at maximum chassis
roll angles
o Chassis incorporates mounting position for 1UP DTC
(Dynamic Toe Control) rear end option
o Chassis ballast mass mounting locations to fine tune mass balance
• PCS (Pitch Control System) option to further adjust chassis flex characteristics
o Motor mount and servo mount incorporate mounting positions for pitch
control brace option
• Fox “short” shocks with genuine Kashima Coating
o “Short” shock lowers overall center of mass allowing for more stability in
high grip conditions
o Ultra-smooth Kashima Hard Coating for minimal friction and extended
wear
o Hard coated shock shafts with polished finish
o Machined piston and bushing sets for the most precise build
o Updated bladder profile for consistent performance
• DCV drive shaft assemblies included for front drive
o DCV (dual CV) drive shafts are double-cardon joints, allowing free rotation
of drive shaft at extreme angles typical of the front drive due to addition of
steering angle to suspension arm angle
o The use of DCV’s results in smooth steering through larger corners by
eliminating the “chatter” typical of standard CV axles
• Ultra-light weight carbon composite suspension components
o Carbon composite material used for the best combination of strength at
minimized mass
o Optimized suspension arm length and shock mounting positions
o Pivot ball on inner hinge pin allows free pin movement at any toe or kickup
angle
o Insert system for precise adjustment of toe and inner pin width
o Independent arm mount design to allow maximum flex through entire
chassis length, resulting in better grip on all track conditions
• Aluminum rear CV bones
o 7075-T6 aluminum with hard coating for ultimate durability and decreased
wear
o Low rotational mass
• 26 precision ball bearings
• All new ultra-precise rear gear diff for maximum performance
o Aluminum diff case for precision gear alignment and increased heat
dissipation
o Durable composite gear set for minimized mass
o Hard anodized aluminum outdrives for low wear and long life
o Outdrives supported by ball bearings eliminates binding under load
o Lightweight belt pulley with relief holes to help clear debris
• Ultra-light weight front spool with replaceable hardened steel outdrives
o Lightweight aluminum spool hub for efficient power delivery and low
rotational mass
o Hardened steel outdrives for minimum wear and increased durability
o Lightweight belt pulley with relief holes to help clear debris
• One-piece IFM (Inline Flex Mount) motor mount system
o Central mounting to allow free chassis flex in either direction
o Several mounting positions to help further adjust chassis flex characteristics
o One-piece design ensures proper spur/pinion gear alignment
• Updated bearing caps with integral camber link mount for ultra-fine link
length adjustments
o Camber link mount fastens to bearing cap allowing the use of shims to
adjust camber link length for ultra-fine tuning of camber gain
o Symmetric parts on all four corners minimizes spare part count
o Optimized shock tower mounting positions for improved flex characteristics
o Vertical ballstud orientation allows for fine adjustments of roll center height
• Updated floating servo mount
o 7075-T6 aluminum for increased durability
o Servo mounts to chassis center to allow equal chassis flex in both directions
and a tweak free assembly
o Servo mount pins to chassis to eliminate servo shifting under hard impact
o Slotted servo mount design allows fit for almost any servo size
• New battery mounting system for greater adjustability
o Battery position can be set front-back and in-out to help fine tune chassis
mass balance
o Battery tabs for tape free battery installation
o Adjustable to fit dimensional differences between battery manufacturers
• Updated narrow chassis shape with optimized flex characteristics
o 2.25mm graphite laminate with updated profile and symmetric pockets for
optimal chassis flex

Bladder Installation
With the shaft extended 25%, place bladder on
the top of the shock body, displacing the extra oil.
While maintaining pressure on the bladder against
the shock body, carefully lift one side of the bladder
to allow any extra oil to escape. Place stock cap on
top of bladder, and secure it by threading the
aluminum cap retainer onto the shock body.

Droop:
The standard settings of 6mm front and
5mm rear will work best in most cases.
Droop is measured just underneath the
outer hinge pin as shown in the photos
to the right.
On bumpy or low grip
surfaces, increase the droop (going to a
lower number on the droop gauge), this
will help increase traction and consistency.
Droop adjustments of 0.5mm to 1mm can
be very effective on the track!

It is important that the turnbuckle eyelets move freely
once snapped on to the ballstud. If the fit is too tight,
the car handling will be inconsistent. To check, grab
turnbuckle eyelet with fingers and rotate the cup. If
there is resistance, lightly squeeze ball cup with needle
nose pliers as shown and test again. It is important
that the ball cup be snapped onto the ballstud before
squeezing with needle nose pliers. Be sure to check
and adjust the fit for each ball cup that is installed.
