RC10B5M Factory Lite
Team Associated's RC10B5 and RC10B5M have been met with wild success by racers around the globe at both the club level and at major racing events. Always looking for a challenge, Team Associated's Area 51 engineers took it upon themselves to make the best RC10 to date even better! A version of the B5M that would optimize the platform to excel in classes requiring spec motors and for certain track conditions that allow the racer to take full advantage of the performance offered from reduced weight.

Enter the RC10B5M Factory Lite Kit. Shedding over 75 grams of weight, the RC10B5M Factory Lite includes a 3-gear transmission for lower rotational mass, a lightened hard-anodized aluminum chassis, titanium turnbuckles, and aluminum front axles.

Coming in at fighting weight, the RC10B5M Factory Lite is sure to be a winner!

Magazine Review
With so much competition, you need a car that competes and having one that can do so out of the box is the best way to start. Team Associated's B5M Factory Lite is a buggy that can do that. The racer is loaded with equipment that racers want and it has the geometry and tuning that can get it dialed into today's highly prepped track. I was simply amazed with how the buggy handled and how much faster I was with it with little effort. AE hit the mark again, this time with the B5M Factory Lite; no wonder they have so many world titles. --RC Driver, Sept. 2015

Spencer Rivkin won Team Associated's 28th I.F.M.A.R. World Championship with the RC10B5M in 2015.
