About the DC10
Chassis
The Team Associated DC10 boasts a meticulously crafted Factory Team 2.5mm carbon-fiber drift chassis, engineered for optimal weight distribution and balance. This lightweight yet robust chassis is complemented by hard-anodized threaded aluminum shocks and carbon-fiber shock towers, providing a solid foundation for high-performance drifting. The inclusion of two carbon-fiber top plate options allows drivers to fine-tune the chassis' rigidity and response, catering to diverse driving styles and track conditions. The chassis also features a +6mm transmission height adjustment insert, which raises the roll center and accommodates larger spur gears, enhancing the vehicle's stability and control during high-speed drifts.
Adjustable Configurations
The drivetrain of the DC10 is designed with versatility and precision in mind, offering high and low motor mounting options to suit different power delivery preferences. The fully tunable blue-anodized aluminum Ackermann plates allow for precise steering adjustments, maximizing the steering throw for superior control through sharp turns and intricate maneuvers. The adjustable battery placement ensures optimal weight distribution, while the rear-mounted electronic speed control (ESC) plate keeps the center of gravity low and improves traction. Precision rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain reduce friction and enhance the overall efficiency, ensuring smooth and reliable performance on the drift track.
Suspension
The DC10's suspension system is a testament to Team Associated's commitment to providing comprehensive tuning capabilities. With easy-to-adjust camber and caster settings, drivers can dial in their preferred alignment without the need for tools, ensuring quick and efficient adjustments. The adjustable offset wheel hexes and servo mount locations further enhance the vehicle's customization, allowing for precise control over handling characteristics. Additionally, the adjustable rear anti-squat and toe-in settings enable fine-tuning of the rear suspension geometry, optimizing traction and stability during aggressive drifting sessions. The combination of these features makes the DC10 a formidable contender in the competitive RC drift scene, offering unparalleled control and adaptability for every driver.

well worth the price. Butter smooth with some minor setup changes like alignment and the correct springs. A pleasure to build as well.
I’m the Biggest Team Associated fan so when I seen this drift kit I knew it had to be mine.So Awesome.I love my Yokomo’s but this might take over for #1
first competition Drift, I've had other 4wd touring car\drift but this DC10 takes the cake, I'm a big fan of Team Associated, love learning how to drift a 2wd, love the building aspect of it, my only gripe is there's not enough aluminum hop ups, maybe in due time, but in the meantime I'm really enjoying this drift machine on my worn-down carpet lol 500/100 would recommend if you like building
Team associated did good here. However this is not for RC beginners, but fine for drift beginners who already have time in RC and understand suspension, gearing, tuning setups, etc... I love my DC10. It was my foray into drifting from crawling and touring...My other drift cars might perform better in group settings but the DC10 was the perfect platform to get into drifting from a DIY standpoint. Learned a ton. minus 1 star because most of the aluminum upgrades seem to be more of a vanity upgrade than performance.
Team associated nailed it on the head with this one!!! Great angles and almost hard to spin out. I have been asking many times if I was even driving it, it looked so smooth and effortless.
Reviewers generally rate the Team Associated DC10 1/10 electric RWD drift kit highly, praising its smooth, easy-to-drive handling, forgiving angles and an enjoyable build. Several note that minor setup changes, such as alignment and springs, improve it further. One reviewer found it a good entry point into drifting for those already experienced with RC, though not recommended for RC beginners. Recurring criticisms are limited aluminium upgrade options, which one reviewer felt were more cosmetic than performance-related, and a front ball stud change suggested by one owner. One reviewer reported missing and damaged screws in their kit, a quality-control issue.
