Team Associated have fired the first shot in the RTR SC based drag car
segment. Based on a 9-time national championship winning platform, the
DR10 packs a ton of performance under its large muscle car shell.
The basis for the DR10 is a low-center-of-gravity chassis with
hook-and-loop battery straps to accommodate a variety of batteries. The
rear mounted motor spins a lightweight aluminum top shaft via an
adjustable slipper clutch and the power is sent to the wheels through a
sealed gear differential and CVA axles. The entire drivetrain and each
hub are supported by a total of 18 sealed ball bearings.
Attached to the rear of the chassis is a three position wheelie bar that
also includes a pair of larger diameter wheels. Speaking of wheels, the
DR10 uses 12mm hex wheels all the way around, skinnies up front and
wider SC style wheels in the rear. Wrapped around those wheels are
narrow, semi-treaded front tires (think Frontrunners) and wide, sticky
slicks out back. Keeping the rubber planted to the pavement are 12mm big
bore dampers, rugged adjustable steel turnbuckles and vertical ball
studs for roll-center adjustments.
For power, the DR10 uses Reedy’s water-resistant brushless speed
control, a Reedy 3300kv motor and a Reedy metal gear digital high-torque
servo (with spring-style servo saver) keeps things pointed in the right
direction. The standout feature electronics wise is the new DVC
(Dynamic Vehicle Control) receiver with built in adjustable digital
gyro. Having a gyro for stability control is especially useful in
no-prep drag racing where traction may not be consistent. Sending
signals to that receiver is a 2.4gHz 2-channel transmitter. The DR10 is
available as a RTR (70025) or and RTR with 2s Reedy LiPO and charger
combo (70025C).
Front and rear body mounts are set wide to properly support the large
body shell and keep it from moving around at high speed. The factory
finished body is a two-piece unit with rear spoiler that Associated have
named the Reakt.
