ASC30102  TC4 Factory Team Kit

Team Associated’s new Factory Team TC4 already has a big win before the kits had been boxed.

Team Associated’s U.K. driving star Craig Drescher won the prestigious invitational Touring Car class at the 2005 Reedy International Race of Champions. Craig beat the world’s best drivers, chassis, and motor builders in the industry to take the overall win.

This was Associated's first race with the Factory Team TC4 and the entire team was impressed with the level of performance and adjustability provided by the new chassis design, and Craig winning the event was truly, “icing on the cake”!

The FT TC4 marks a milestone in electric touring car development by allowing maximum chassis stiffness adjustability without replacing the main chassis. It features a double deck 2.5mm woven carbon fiber chassis that incorporates an adjustable carbon fiber spine plate. The chassis spine plate allows an extremely wide range of chassis stiffness adjustment in small increments. This allows the chassis to be dialed in for high grip carpet racing or for low grip parking lot racing and everything in between. In addition to the spine plate, there are four blue aluminum chassis brace standoffs that allow even more chassis stiffness adjustment.

Racers around the world will appreciate that they do not need to disassemble their entire car or shell out more cash in order to change the chassis stiffness of the Factory Team TC4. Just make the adjustments to the chassis spine plate or standoffs and you’re dialed.

If all these tuning options were not enough, we included two, three-piece anti-roll bar kits for the front and rear of the FT TC4.

Another major tuning option included in the FT TC4 is that you can choose between two types of differentials, based on the class of racing you participate in. The lightweight composite diffs provide increased acceleration in 19 turn or stock class racing. The lightened, steel differentials easily tolerate the very high demands for strength which modified racing requires.
