Table of Contents

The table of contents provides an overview of the different
sections and steps involved in building the RC10B74.2 Team Kit.
Each section corresponds to a specific build bag that contains the
necessary components and instructions for that particular stage of
assembly.

Bag 1 – Step 1

In this step, you will need to install two side guards, one on
the left and one on the right side of the chassis. The part numbers
for the side guards are 92112.

Bag 1 – Step 2

In this step, you will need to attach the front chassis brace
support (part number 92255) to the chassis. Secure it using eight
M3x8mm button head screws (31532) and M3 locknuts (25215).

:: Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Team Associated product. This assembly manual contains instructions and tips for building and maintaining your new vehicle. Please take a moment to read through the manual and familiarize yourself with the steps. We are continually changing and improving our designs; therefore, actual parts may appear slightly different than the illustrations. New parts will be noted on supplementary sheets located in the appropriate parts bags. Check each bag for these sheets before you start to build.
:: RC10B74.2 Team Kit Features
Champions by Design As tires, motors, batteries, and tracks evolve, Team Associated adapts and improves with every iteration of the RC10. The engineers at Team Associated’s Area 51 set out to extract more performance from the RC10B74 4WD buggy platform with the introduction of the RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D. Our goals were to reduce overall weight, lower the center of gravity, and improve jump and bump handling. The differentials were modified to improve rolling speed through turns and increase stability on landings, allowing the buggy to corner faster on high-grip carpet and clay tracks.
The RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D introduce molded gearboxes front and rear, which lower the center of gravity by removing weight from high points of the car. The latest 13mm big bore shock technology from Team Associated is included, taking the RC10B74.2 to the next level in jump and bump handling performance. The introduction of gull wing front suspension arms and the inclusion of the LTC gear sets for the differentials make the RC10B74.2 platform easier and more predictable to drive on any track condition.
· New lightweight molded gearboxes front and rear · Two fixed height front gearboxes allowing 0 and +2mm diff height options · One rear gearbox with RC10B6-style inserts allowing 0, +1, +2, and +3mm diff height options · New 13mm big-bore threaded aluminum shocks and springs with machined shock pistons for improved bump and jump
handling · New gull wing front suspension arms and mating shock tower for lower center of gravity and better steering predictability · LTC differential gear sets are included. That reduce binding under power, giving more predictable power delivery · New battery hold-down system uses inserts to adjust weight bias. O-ring style battery strap with pull tabs · New larger 3.5mm turnbuckles with updated rod end style ballcups to increase durability and reduce bind in the suspension · New center bulkhead fan mount that mounts the fan above the motor for better cooling performance · New -2mm wing mounts for use with slicks and low-profile carpet tires to further lower the center of gravity · Next-generation 2-pad high-load, high-capacity center slipper clutch with LCF pad material · +3mm aluminum steering rack for optimized bump steer at low ride heights · 66mm Rear CVA drive shafts and axles for more on- power traction and more predictable driving feel

It is important that the correct amount of fluid is added to the diff. Too much fluid may cause the

!

diff to fail. Fill diffs to the reference line shown above. A more accurate method is to use a digital scale (AE#1522) to make sure the correct amount of fluid is added on the first build, and subsequent

rebuilds. The entire diff assembly should weigh 45.25g when built. Start by placing the ring gear

assembly, screws, and cup assembly (without fluid) onto the scale.

Then slowly add fluid to the cup assembly until the overall mass is 45.25g.

It is important that the turnbuckle eyelets move freely once snapped

on to the ballstud. If the fit is too tight, the car handling will be inconsistent. To check, grab turnbuckle eyelet with fingers and

rotate the cup. If there is resistance, lightly squeeze ball cup with

needle nose pliers as shown and test again. It is important that the

ball cup be snapped onto the ballstud before squeezing with needle

nose pliers. Be sure to check and adjust the fit for each ball cup

that is installed.

Shock Bleeding Steps:
Before assembly, get each bleed screw and thread it 1-2 turns into the shock cap, then remove the screw. This will make it easier when you are bleeding your shocks. Pull shock shaft down. Fill shock body 3/4 full with silicone shock fluid. Slowly move the shock shaft up and down to remove air from under the piston. Wait for bubbles to come to surface. Fill shock body to top with silicone shock fluid. Place a drop of oil in the cap and on cap threads. Install cap (without bleed screw) and tighten completely. Slowly compress shaft all the way to bleed excess silicone shock fluid out the hole in the cap (use rag around shock to catch excess fluid). Install M2x4mm button head screw until snug while shaft is fully compressed.

:: Tuning Tips – Painting, Beginners
Painting:
Your Kit requires a clear polycarbonate body. You will need to prep the body before you can paint it. Wash the INSIDE thoroughly with warm water and liquid detergent (do not use any detergents with scents or added hand lotion ingredients!). Dry the body using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Use the supplied window masks to cover the windows from the INSIDE of the body (RC bodies get painted on the inside). Using high quality masking tape, apply tape to the inside of the body to create a design. Spray (use either rattle can or airbrush) the paint on the inside of the body (preferably dark colors first, lighter colors last). NOTE: ONLY use paint that is recommended for (polycarbonate) plastics. If you do not, you can destroy the body! After the paint has completely dried (usually after 24 hours), cut the body along the trim lines. Make sure to drill or use a body reamer to make the holes for the antenna if needed! Use hook and loop tape to secure the body to the side rails of the vehicle.
Tips for Beginners:
Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing. Changes to your vehicle will not be beneficial if you can’t stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps. Once you can get around the track consistently, start tuning your vehicle. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing it before making another change. If the result of your adjustment is a faster lap, mark the change on the included setup sheet (make adddtional copies of the sheet before writing on it). If your adjustment results in a slower lap, revert back to the previous setup and try another change. When you are satisfied with your vehicle, fill in the setup sheet thoroughly and file it away. Use this as a guide for future track days or conditions. Periodically check all moving suspension parts. Suspension components must be kept clean and move freely without binding to prevent poor and/or inconsistent handling.
