Description:
Note - This is an unassembled kit. Assembly, painting and additional items required. 

At the 1989 IFMAR 1/10 Off-Road World Championships in St. Ives, Australia, Masami Hirosaka drove the groundbreaking RC10 “Stealth” car to victory. This prototype from Team Associated featured a revolutionary Stealth® 3-gear transmission, offering smoother and more efficient power delivery compared to the standard 6-gear setup. Built around a lightweight chassis and equipped with a specially tuned Reedy motor, Masami’s RC10 combined cutting-edge technology with his signature smooth, aggressive driving style.

The prototype also utilized a narrowed and milled aluminum chassis for reduced weight and improved agility. The front end was modified with new geometry for better steering response, while the rear featured longer suspension arms and revised shock positioning to improve traction and stability. Lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and titanium were used extensively, showcasing a design philosophy that prioritized speed, balance, and durability.

The Stealth Car had a lower profile body and sleek, streamlined aesthetics that matched its high-performance internals. Though never sold as a complete kit, the design innovations of the 1989 Stealth Car directly influenced future Associated models and reshaped competitive RC buggy engineering for years to come.
