In the world of RC drift cars, Team Associated has unleashed the DC10 in both kit and ready-to-run forms. The ready-to-run version, with its exclusive gray parts and adjustable turnbuckles, promises top-notch performance right out of the box. On the other hand, the kit version offers upgrades like aluminum shocks and carbon fiber components for those seeking a more hands-on experience. The price difference of $130 between the two models raises the question: is the ready-to-run convenience worth the extra cost?
After some recalibration and tire testing on different surfaces, the AMain Hobbies team found the DC10 ready-to-run to be a formidable contender. Its out-of-the-box performance, advanced electronics, and smooth gyro make it a standout in the world of ready-to-run drift cars. The ability to hold big angles and the room for customization further solidify its position as a top choice for enthusiasts looking to hit the track straight away.
While the DC10 kit offers some tempting upgrades, the convenience and performance of the ready-to-run version cannot be overlooked. With only one body style available, some may find the lack of options limiting, but the overall package of the DC10 ready-to-run sets a high bar for out-of-the-box drift car excellence. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to dive into the world of RC drifting, the DC10 ready-to-run is a compelling choice that promises excitement and performance right from the start.
