Associated's Factory Team RC10L4 Oval, the first "4-Series" car,
has been developed from input from the top oval racers in the country,
like Daryl Silva, 2001 Snowbirds Nationals winner and TQ and Sean Cochran,
who debuted the L4 Oval by winning the 2002 NORRCA National Carpet Oval
Championship. The L4 Oval is built on the Factory Team graphite
"bias-tray" chassis, previously available only as an upgrade
kit. This chassis features a moveable 6-slot battery tray for shifting the
weight of the batteries forward and backward as needed. An optional 4-cell
tray is also available.
The L4 Oval also includes numerous other Factory Team components, such as
blue aluminum nuts, screws, and ballstuds, blue right-side motor mounting
bulkhead, blue aluminum inline front axles, graphite front bumper with
lightweight foam on top for additional impact resistance, and more. It's
the most advanced, competition-bred oval kit ever offered by Team
Associated.
The L4 Oval chassis features a moveable 6-slot battery tray for shifting
the weight of the batteries forward and backward in .15" increments,
and from the extreme left to nearly center.
The suspension of the L4 Oval is handled by a .075 fiberglass
symmetrical T-bar and dampened by three blue-anodized aluminum oil-fill
shocks. A threaded-body VCS Macro Shock with a hard coated, wear-resistant
Unobtainium shock shaft is used in the center, with two VCS Micro shocks
used for side-to-side dampening.
The center shock is the VCS Macro Shock, a lightweight shock with Team
Associated's exclusive Volume Compensating System for the smoothest
possible, most consistent dampening. A full assortment of different
springs are available for both the VCS Micro and Macro Shocks for greater
tuning options.
The rear pod of the L4 Oval now comes standard set at the full offset
position, and the rear axle/differential assembly consists of all-new IRS
(Irrgang Racing Service) parts. The graphite "Pro" rear axle
features a locking D-ring differential -- no pinning needed. The right
diff hub and the double-clamp left hub are also blue anodized IRS
components.
Team Associated’s new featherweight (approx. 1/5 oz.), high-density foam
bumper (not shown) protects and supports the front of your oval car’s
body, and provides excellent chassis protection from the high-speed
impacts of oval racing. It comes with the body post holes already in
place. The L4 Oval's bumper is a completely new design.
At the front of the L4 Oval, Team Associated's race-proven Dynamic
Strut front suspension has been augmented for oval racing with IRS'
adjustable aluminum front arm mounts, which provide 6-position mounting of
the upper (camber) arms to fine-tune the L4 Oval's roll center, increasing
or decreasing sensitivity to steering input. Factory Blue titanium
turnbuckles are also included for their high strength and low weight.
