#AS20165 - TEAM ASSOCIATED RC28 TEAM KIT

The Associated RC28R Team Kit (AS20165) is a compact 1:28 scale on-road race kit developed by Team Associated’s AREA 51. Despite its small size, it offers extensive tuning in a straightforward, easy-to-build package that’s ideal for tight indoor tracks and practice spaces.

A steel chassis plate delivers a low centre of gravity, while insert-adjustable roll centre, torsion side links and a threaded aluminium centre shock let you fine-tune pitch, roll and droop. The fixed-arm front end includes optional moulded upper arms to adjust caster and camber, and an adjustable servo mount allows Ackermann changes on the fly. A two-piece rear pod enables quick axle height changes using Factory Team carbon fibre shims, and the battery holder provides fast access without disturbing the centre shock.

Supplied components include a gear differential, hard plastic and polycarbonate body mounting options, white wheels and a universal front bumper. The differential has suggested compatibility with other aftermarket options, and the white wheels have suggested compatibility with optional front wheel flanges to tailor steering feel.

Please note: Body not included. This is a kit and requires full assembly.
