RC10T4
The T4 features a longer wheelbase, a full 1/2 inch wider than the previous generation T3 truck, putting the T4 at the maximum ROAR legal dimensions for higher cornering speeds and stability during jumping and through bumpy sections of the track. The result is a truck with a tremendous range of tunability for everything from loose, dusty tracks to high-bite, blue-groove conditions. The T4 provides the more stable, predictable driving feel that serious racers expect. T4RS "Race-Spec" RTR
Team Associated’s RC10T4 racing truck wasted no time in proving itself in world-class competition, with the T4 sweeping the ROAR Modified Nationals Truck title with the Reedy-powered T4 just a few weeks after the truck's initial release. Team Associated is proud to offer the National Championship-winning T4 truck in a Ready-to-Run package, now upgraded to "Race-Spec" standards with a Reedy Radon 17-turn motor, the latest LRP "Ai" digital speed control, and a Team Associated XP2 radio system. The T4 RTR truck borrows the distinctive forward-swept front end and rear-mounted shock configuration featured on the RC10B4 buggy, optimized with the new co-planar steering geometry. This suspension design provides maximum front-end clearance and minimizes bump-steer while maintaining desired Ackerman angles. Trailing front axle or optional inline steering blocks and axles can be used to adjust steering response. The suspension arms feature a "captured" hinge pin design so that no e-clips are used. In addition, the T4 includes the heavy-duty front hinge-pin brace and bumper for increased durability. "If you're looking to get into 1/10 electric truck racing but don't have a huge chunk of cash, give the T4 RS a look. Its performance and value will impress you, and you can always upgrade it to Factory Team spec as your budget allows."—Stephen Bess RC Car The transmission uses the same 2.6:1 higher torque-capacity differential as the RC10GT. A double-sided slipper assembly (first prototyped by Team Associated in 1989) has higher torque capacity, easier assembly, and lower rotating mass than comparable double-sided slippers. The T4 chassis provides a super-low center of gravity by lowering the motor, battery, and shock mounting positions, enabling Associated’s R&D team to design a sleeker, more realistic low-profile body, greatly reducing the large, unaerodynamic "humps" over the rear shocks as seen on older-design trucks. The T4 Ready-to-Run comes equipped with strong, dish-style wheels and high-traction racing-compound tires. The T4RS Ready-to-Run is the Team’s state-of-the-art competition truck, and uses all the same, readily-available AE chassis components as our race-proven T4 kits. The T4RS RTR can also be upgraded as your budget and skills allow with the full line of Factory Team T4 hop-ups. Your choice of two prepainted body color schemes, red or blue. Team Associated XP2 radio system. LRP "Ai" digital speed control, installed.
Angled bellcrank steering minimizes bump steer to maintain constant steering angles throughout the full range of suspension travel.

"If you're a seasoned racer or just someone looking for the best truck for the buck, this is the truck for you."—Steve Trebing RC Driver November 2004 Team Associated announces the new Factory Team RC10T4 Truck kit ... the truck won the ROAR Off Road National Championship! Now you can get your own, full-option "Factory" ride truck complete with over $190 worth of Factory Team upgrades! The Team's standard threaded, hard-anodized PTFE-coated shocks with Gold shafts handle the damping on all four corners. A complete set of 14 PTFE-sealed bearings are included to ensure smooth, efficient operation. Lightweight outdrives are included, as well as a new clear injection-molded gear cover. To get the power to the ground, the T4 Factory Team comes with Pro-Line M3 "Holeshot" rear tires and M3 compound "Edge" front tires on white Pro-Line dish wheels. The T4 Factory Team features all molded carbon components including the chassis, front and rear shock towers, front and rear A-Arms, chassis brace, and top plate. The battery strap is made of woven carbon fiber, and comes with a chrome/black "AE Factory Team" sticker. 
No Factory Team kit would be complete without a full array of "Factory Blue" components, so the T4 includes blue titanium turnbuckles, aluminum servo mounts, wheel spacers, front hinge pin brace, body clips, and a lightweight milled blue aluminum motor mounting plate. If you're serious about racing, get the same truck used to win the ROAR Off Road National Championship .. Team Associated's Factory Team T4.
Carbon "What stands out in my mind about the T4FT is how easily it drove, and how it made me feel like a driver who could feel the difference in the graphite. ... In the ongoing truck wars, the T4 Factory Team is a lethal weapon indeed."—Mike Velez Xtreme RC October 2004

The transmission has also been optimized into an ultra-compact package, and now uses the same 2.6:1 higher torque-capacity differential as the RC10GT. A double-sided slipper assembly (first prototyped by Team Associated in 1989) has been designed with higher torque capacity, easier assembly, and lower rotating mass than comparable double-sided slippers. This provides a finer adjustment range and more efficient slipper operation.

Hot
on the heels of the acclaimed RC10B4 buggy comes the RC10T4, Team
Associated’s new state-of-the-art electric racing truck.
The T4 chassis provides a super-low center of gravity by lowering the motor,
battery, and shock mounting positions, enabling Associated’s R&D team to
design a sleeker, more realistic low-profile body, greatly reducing the
large, unaerodynamic "humps" over the rear shocks as seen on older-design
trucks. The T4 also comes equipped with strong, dish-style wheels and
high-traction Pro-Line tires.
