Like Hot Cakes. But Racing.

The RC10B5 is out and racing. An inevitable decade long reign has begun!

The results are trickling in.

It's no surprise that this fan boy thinks it is looking bad ass.



They first release the rear motor with composite chassis, saving the mid motor/aluminium chassis for a month or two from now.

Sticks are for kids.


So, Associated is not chasing the mid motor trend. They are being honest and designing what they think is a great car.

Effing solid looking, especially for a non Factory Team kit. Where or why will we spend more? I'm sure that answer will come around summer time when the FT is the only thing to get you that bump out of the Stock D main.



Brent Thielke hits some softball questions from Jason Rouna out of the park. They clearly love it. This is the largest rc racing buggy manufacturer in the world, displaying their first new layout in over a decade, so it is a big deal.

The gist of this video, is damn, get a B5 now. Also... dial in that front trail for tight, indoor tracks.

One thing that still bothers me, the off center motor mount. I can't believe at 3:10 in the video they mention centering the receiver yet though the entire video, they offer no excuse for not centering the motor.

Do we just ignore the motor being off center and appreciate the car for what it is?

Totally normal.


Did they forget? Did the decide not to?  Is  the chassis optimized for 550 4 pole?????


I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!!

Whatever they are talking about, RedRC always puts on a good show. Thanks for the footage and interviews. I could watch their youtube channel all day, but I've got some things at work to catch up on.


It's Monday. There's a glimmer of hope for racing tomorrow. Racers are calling for a 17.5 only day. That could make fro a great day of racing in case the bad weather holds some folks up.

I've got a Mach 2 17.5 just waiting to be tossed back into the ole trusty B4....

Have a safe Monday, pay those bills, and get to the track!
