Associated’s RC10DS Dual Sport kits are based on the most durable and proven car on the market, the original off road RC10. The feature that makes our car different from our competitors is the dual sport aspect. This means we are offering two different styles of bodies, for touring or Trans Am racing. The Associated on road RC10L series racing cars were built for racing on smooth tracks designed specifically for on road racing. The RC10DS, however, was created for parking lot tracks, which have a rougher surface than are found on those dedicated to on road.
The kits come with our race proven Associated transmission (not included in the conversion kit), Associated’s proven racing shocks, special Pro-Line semi-pneumatic rubber tires on new scale chrome wheels (with BBS style hub caps), our special dual sport front and rear suspension parts, front and rear anti-roll bars, front and rear shock struts, new body mounts, aluminum tub chassis, and a new chassis nose plate. All of this combines to make one of the most versatile and enjoyable cars we have ever produced.
RC10DS Racer Kit
This economical version of our racer kit is complete with bronze bushings, stock motor, new easier-to-install mechanical speed control, and all wiring.
Features it shares with the racer kit includes the Associated transmission, special Pro-Line semi-pneumatic tires with scale chrome wheels (with BBS style hubcaps and foam inserts for all four tires), and our special dual sport suspension parts. It includes new front and rear suspension arms, front and rear anti-roll bar, front and rear shock struts, chassis nose plate, and our proven aluminum tub chassis.
As with the racer version, this car is fully tunable for many track conditions. Later, you may purchase ball bearings, hard anodized PTFE-sealed shocks, and universal dogbone rear axles to move up to full racing benefits.

RC10DS Conversion Kit
Many racers have older RC10s or RC10Ts that are used less often because they have switched to our RC10B2 or RC10T2. Some may also just be looking for something different to run. The RC10DS Conversion Kit allows you to convert to on road racing by using your existing off road RC10 or RC10T chassis, your Associated tranny (or even your original RC10 tranny) and a few other parts from your old car. (You cannot convert from an RC10B2, B3 or RC10T2, T3 or graphite chassis.)
The kit contains front and rear suspension arms, front and rear shocks, front and rear shock brackets, front kickup plate, front bulkhead, racing front and rear wheels, pneumatic Pro-Line racing tires, anti-roll bars, and all necessary hardware. Does not include motor, body or electrical. Requires body designed for the RC10DS.
