Thank you for purchasing this Team Associated product. This assembly manual contains instructions and tips for building and maintaining your
new SC10 4x4 FT Kit or RTR. Please take a moment to read through this manual to help familiarize yourself with these steps.
Team Associated, the only RC car company with 26 World Championships is proud to present the SC10 4x4!
Starting with a clean sheet of paper, Team Associated’s Area 51 design engineers have created the ultimate four-wheel drive short-course racer,
the SC10 4x4.
Its composite modular chassis design with sealed receiver box and removable ESC tray, combined with innovative features such as 13mm big
bore shocks, a decoupled slipper clutch, and a hybrid belt/gear drive system, make the SC10 4x4 unlike any other short-course truck on the
planet. In addition to these unique features, a long list of competition-proven components create an extremely high performance and durable
state-of-the-art race truck.
It’s not often a new platform is introduced that redefines a class. The engineers of Area 51 seized the opportunity to create the next legendary
vehicle. Once you have driven the SC10 4x4 for yourself, we think you will agree - this is the 4x4 short course race truck that you have been
waiting for!
We are continually updating 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. If you are building your 4x4, be sure to check each bag for these
sheets before you start.
