Team Associated's Area 51 has produced a touring car that RC racers have been talking about for many months and now the time has come to set the record straight. Team AE is the winningest race team in the business and the Factory TC5 will show everyone how we got there.The TC5 starts with a full ball bearing, dual belt-drive system that transfers all the power from the motor smoothly and efficiently. With today's motors and batteries delivering more power than ever before, the belt-drive system gives the TC5 a very predictable throttle response and feel, making it easier to drive fast and carry more speed through the corners. The newly designed composite ball differentials are super light for reduced rotational mass. Reducing the weight of the diffs lets the Associated TC5 accelerate harder out of the corners. The new diffs are also quick and easy to maintain, and are strong featuring blue aluminum outdrive-saver rings. Hardened-steel CVAs with cross-pin retaining clips and blue aluminum clamping wheel hexes offer reliable service getting all the power to the wheels. The TC5 1/10th Touring Car has also received an updated, fully adjustable and more durable suspension package. The rugged new A-arms pivot on 3mm inner hinge-pins and 2.5mm outer hinge pins, making it easier than ever to drive away from some of the most severe mishaps. Fully adjustable roll-centers and hinge-pin angles (anti & pro-squat) help you to squeeze every last ounce of handling potential out of the TC5. The steering is handled by a mono-bellcrank with adjustable Ackerman for more precision and less play. An integrated adjustable servo-saver releases only when you need it to and not before. Front and rear anti-roll bars are included. A VCS2 shock package is included and features hard anodized threaded shock bodies and are very quick and easy to rebuild thanks to the silicone shock bladders. Weight-bias is a very important part of tuning any race car and to accommodate this, the stiff 3mm carbon fiber shock towers are indexed with center-holes to assist in balancing the TC5 side-to-side. The Factory team TC5's 2.5mm carbon fiber chassis and top plate together with the blue aluminum bulkheads makes for a very rigid chassis assembly. This chassis rigidity gives the TC5 a broad sweet-spot making it easier than ever to get dialed in for high grip carpet racing or for low traction parking lot racing and all the conditions in between.
