Team Associated does it again with the Pro2 RT10 SW (short wheelbase) two wheel drive road Rat Rod brushless 3300Kv motor 3s lipo Short Course Truck! Dang, that was a mouthful! I loved the design of this car and the familiarity with the chassis. At about 30 mph I felt like I immediately wanted to change the gearing to give it a little more get up and go and swap in one of Reedy’s drag motors and slap some slicks on it to trick it out. But I gotta say I spent a lot of time running laps after the initial footage dialing in the dual rate system that works with that ESC to get that gyro right and it really cornered extremely well!
For those of you that cringed when I took it off road I really enjoy running rally rc cars that do both road and street and had to give it a whirl. You could definitely order up a set of the short course truck tires with those big bore shocks and that would be a pretty banging time. Again, I’d have to change the gearing on this 2wd but it’d be so worth it.
Hope you enjoyed the video and hope to see you out there!!!

The batteries I used were an Ovonic 8000mah 50c and a Gens Ace 5000 mah 50c. I wanted to use a 100c or higher to see how it did but recently have been swapping a lot of my connections over to xt60 and xt90 and I have a plethora of IC3 and EC3 batteries and adapters but didn’t have any that went from XT or IC to deans. I’ll probably change it over to XT60 since that seems to be the trend recently for many manufacturers. Could not believe how many crawler deans and 2s I had but I really wanted to get a run on 3s but it tapped out at 29mph pretty quick on 50c.
If you like the look of the car and do your own tuning you can’t go wrong with Team Associated but I’d say you’d probably feel the need to upgrade the servo (I couldn’t even find the kg listed) and ditch the lower end 4 pole brushless for a longer can and higher kV unless you’re gonna change it up and race it. There’s something that screams speed by the look of it but it just wasn’t there. However, when I took it through grass and dirt and leaves it really shined because the 4 pole torque did not disappoint. It’s definitely a niche car but it’s a fun one worth trying out.
Cheers!
NOTE - I AM NOT ENDORSED BY ANY MANUFACTURER! I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT! If I were to receive something from a company you’d still get an honest reaction. I love RC and hope to attract as many people to the hobby as I can. Wouldn’t be doing anyone any favors if I endorsed junk. (watch my Remoking Thunder or HPI King Crawler if ya want the proof!)
