The RC10 started as the vision of Team Associated’s founder Roger Curtis (RC) and became one of the most iconic RC cars in history. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the company that brought you the RC10, we are proud to bring to you the RC10 Green 40th Anniversary Edition kit, an alternate reproduction of Roger’s world championship-winning design that changed the world of RC off road racing forever.
In 1964, slot cars were the hottest trend, so hobbyists Roger Curtis and Lee Yurada decided to get in on the fun. The two started off by producing slot car parts, accessories, and even cars. They soon opened a local slot car racetrack in Lynnwood, CA and Associated Electrics (AE) was born!
The peak of the slot car hobby was short-lived, so in 1969 Roger Curtis decided to step into a new and booming hobby: radio-control cars! Lee Yurada sold his interest in Associated Electrics to Gene Husting, and together Roger and Gene formed the Team Associated RC brand of products.
Throughout the 1970s, Team Associated focused on 1:8 scale gas on-road racing. In 1977 Team Associated took first place at the very first IFMAR World Championships, with Butch Kroells driving his RC100. This victory would start a long list of IFMAR wins for this new company. The following year Team Associated released its first electric powered vehicle, the RC12E. A few years later, in 1982, team driver Kent Clausen would bring home another IFMAR World Title with the newly released RC12i.
