About this part
This buggy roars to life with a water-resistant high-power Reedy brushless speed control, 3300kV brushless motor, a 2.4GHz 2-channel radio system and the Drive Vehicle Control (DVR) receiver with a built in gyro. The DVR system is able to be tuned to different settings that will allow for more or less gyro control. The RB10 is equipped with the Reedy metal-gear, digital high-torque servo, and a water-resistant enclosed receiver box. All of this sits under the outstanding factory-finished off-road buggy body with wing. The RB10 will keep you accelerating and cornering with the included aggressive off-road treaded tires and lightweight 12mm hex wheels.
The RB10 will perform on most surfaces you throw it at, from asphalt to dirt as well as any prepared track surfaces. This buggy makes for a great basher and a good platform to try your skills out on the track.

THIS IS A GREAT BEGINNER BUGGY! I purchased this for my daughter and me to enjoy as a hobby. We've taken it out a few times now, and I'm thrilled with how it performs. The buggy handled well on both a paved parking lot and on a dirt track. The tires provided consistent traction on both surfaces. I didn't notice any discernible difference really. -- Great responsiveness and maneuverability The XP120 DVC Radio transmitter works like a charm, providing responsive trigger action, which allows for rapid acceleration and breaking as well as a smooth steering wheel which allows for great cornering and maneuverability. -- Expect a long charge time The only negative with this combo kit is that the 324-S (ASC27201) charger (which came with this RTR buggy) took 1.5 hours to fully charge the Reedy 7.4V 2S LiPo battery (that also came with the kit) at 3 amps from the preset storage voltage. So, factor in a longer charge time when the battery is completely discharged. -- Battery is good for a couple of hours of racing The Reedy 7.4V 2S LiPo battery with T-plug (ASC751) is good for about two hours of racing on a full charge. (Though I'll admit, I'm not experienced enough to drive full throttle. So that battery life might vary for faster drivers.) However, be sure to purchase a battery LiPo battery tester to ensure battery maintenance and safety. I also purchased the recommended ProTek RC "Flak Jacket" Flame Resistant LiPo Polymer Charging Bag (PTK-8120) for the same reason. . . . . . . Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck at this price point. My kiddo and I are very pleased.
This motor rips! Obviously not out of the box but only because it's geared very modest....now only do this if you are ready to handle 60mph speeds but 78 spur and 28 pinion,3s bat and I promise you it will go over 60 on asphalt....I use shadows or any other tire tread similar will do. And there is more room because after a pack the motor is not even warm. So much fun!
I've had this buggy for about a month now and I have to say with all honesty, I am not happy with it. From the start I had major alignment issues that never seem to go away. On a flat surface, you might be able to get the alignment right, but as soon as the car hits something, even gently (even an empty soda can), goes off-road or makes a jump, the whole front end goes wack! My first major update was a better servo. I opted for the RRS servo which helped, but my problems did not end there... my next issue was that the 2 pins that hold the front arms attached to the body, kept popping out with every single jump. I thought I solved that issue by installing tiny washers with the 4 screws (2 for each pin) that hold the pin in place, but then on the next lap and a jump, the whole arm snapped off... I bought new Team Associated "oem" arms and now the new arm feels tight and doesn't move up and down like the other one... I was going to put grease on the pin, but then one of the screws snapped off and now that's where I'm at :-/ The only time I had some fun with it was on the flat parking lot, doing laps around a line of cones until the original servo fried. Even doing that required constant alignment. This buggy was made for the new people in the hobby, I'm afraid it'll made some of them rage quit.
RB10 with B7 parts... The RB 10 is a good place to start at; whichever skill level and build from there.Toe in front left. pulls left, on the throdell. gos right coasting. Basic set up.
Above average service from A Main Hobbies as always.. always helpful a great company to deal with???
Reviewers generally describe the Team Associated RB10 RTR buggy as a durable, easy-to-drive beginner platform that is geared conservatively and can be upgraded later. Many praise its handling, responsive radio and crash resilience on track, and several note it works well for experienced hobbyists too. Recurring criticisms include stock tires and steering servo being adequate rather than strong, shock leakage reported by one owner, and controller/receiver issues including a gyro bind problem. One verified owner reported persistent front-end alignment problems and front arm pins popping out during jumps, which was not echoed by other reviewers. Several reviews praise the seller's service. Reviews are mostly positive and the sample is moderate in size.
