Reviewing the DR10 RTR R/C Drag Car from Team Associated - No Prep Drag Racing

[@ChevyGage2002]

"This is the dr10 drag car" While jumping it..😂

[@elvinowe]

f*ck yeah. jump it, bash it, wheelie it, who cares.

[@eriksapien4528]

honestly the jump made me want it more LOL 😂

[@eriksapien4528]

.... also I'm not gonna lie I've watched the end with him blasting off the curb more times than I'd like to admit, 💯 will be me when I get one 🤣

[@ricksprings]

Arrived yesterday! $209 w/DR28 crazy deal. This car is awesome 2wd all-road basher! Had me grinning entire time driving. Love the body, favors fast& Furious challenger! Gonna turn this into a Mad Max Thunderdome type street/rally basher

[@theskronklbeep]

I wanna drift this bad boy. it has a gyro built in, and it seems to handle incredibly well. all I need is a set of drift wheels and a body that doesn't look ridiculous with small wheels on it

[@ricksprings]

How is drift conversion going?

[@stankyjim]

you can tell that brett genuinely loves his job and that is great. I wish I worked at AMain

[@silsend69]

OK SOOOO I always buy my stuff from amain. I also wish I worked there but I live in Canada .

[@BetterIntegra]

drill a hole it top plate of the receiver box and get a rubber plug that fits in it so you can just pop that off to adjust the gain

[@davelowets]

Or just turn the DVC off, and drive it like a real man. 🤷🏻 No hole needed...

[@sudsrc8261]

That Team Associated 2WD chassis is rock solid. Love that platform.

[@davelowets]

Yep.. Same chassis on my SR10. It's a toughy for sure and solid as a rock. 🤘

[@edwincordero8]

Just received mine last week ( green Reakt) . Beautiful body shell, although decals had little air bubbles trapped inside, nothing the X-acto fine point blade couldn't fix. Front tires are crap, they almost ate all the rubber with just a few passes (one or two hours of asphalt drag use), but great traction. Rear tires are stronger, beefier, last way longer. Servo still working flawlessly, ESC super cool after dragging many many times with 3S ,70C 5000mah lipo battery. 2S is waaaay too boring for this car. Motor never got warm. Had to lift the body two holes with the body posts to avoid scratches to the green shell. Transmitter/ receiver are crap, no more than 125 or 135 feet range and lose control of the vehicle. The AVC feature is fantastic though. Worked flawlessly. But goodbye to that tx/Rx and hello to my Spektrum SR315 and DX5R tx ( so no more AVC gyro) unless an external gyro be installed. Easy peasy. Stock 30WT shock's oil replaced with 50WT for better handling and cornering. Included decals are not precut. No big deal. Overall, very customizable kit , fun to drive, and very satisfied with it. Great job TA, with the DR10.

Your presentation is so fluid and precise, I can't get over it. Your the best hands down! This video is absolutely amazing covering everything i needed to know.

[@davidmayberry9335]

I love to see a build series on this car

[@geoffreydeem4143]

the build comes when you start changing gears in the rc drag car and maybe changing the motor.

[@gojaimo]

Got my dad one of these along with the hoosier tires and a 21T pinion. This thing is awesome and hauls!

[@aubreyvalentine7711]

Does it hook?

[@krowe33]

Just got one of these and it is a great running car. I love how it handles, which is kinda unexpected for a drag car. Turning around after a run is kinda fun because it has a very short turn radius. My son loves it too. What kills me is they call this a 1/10 scale, yet it is as big as our Kraton. Comparing it to the Arrma Granite, the Granite looks like a 1/16 scale sitting next to it.

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Brett, I love how you make everything to do with rc look so effortless, you controlled it off the start line like a champ, I’d be upset if we were in the same qualifiers, dang. I’ve seen people with these wee cars, trying this, changing that and trying the other, and they all can’t take off in a straight line, crashing into kerbs, cars,trucks and lamp posts, damaging their cars and costing a small fortune to fix them. One guys tyres had come unstuck and it took him a week or more to find it out. Here’s me thinking 💭 are those rc’s crap, surely it can’t be the driver.......but I’m sorry to say it was. They were swapping out everything, and I mean everything, escs, motors, shocks,springs,wheels and tyres multiple times. After seeing what you did with it, the cars great straight out of the box!!! lol. You were controlling the steering how i used to do it when I raced rc’s, I’m glad I have been doing it right all these years, my competitors used to laugh at me when they heard my steering stick springing back all the time. Anyoldwho enough spouting. Awesome video Brett, and the car stole the show. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Thanks Mikey. It's a straight shooter but the DVC assisted steering sure helps too! -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies ok thank you

[@stivenbentley6479]

Thank you so so very much for the video. I bought the Team Associated Trophy Rat Rod and it shares the same plate form. DR-10. With that being said, I would like to convert to to a drag care. Will not be in comps, so I will not change out my 3 cell. With that being said, beside having to get tires, a body(shell) drag bar, and the metal/aluminum stabilizer for the back, what else would I need to make this a worth while dragster as I am off to an already good start. Thanks for all the great videos and information. So glad I subscribed and HIT THE BELL

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Sounds like a fun conversion! You could just use the vehicle as is, maybe add a wheelie bar of your choosing. But if you want to fit Street Eliminator style bodies, you will need to narrow the vehicle to the correct width, requiring the DR10 suspension arms, turnbuckles and rear driveshafts; maybe body mounts too? -Brett

[@davelowets]

The SR10 is the same platform, with just a few different parts that you could change.

[@langstonwilliams5530]

First off, I can't believe how much these RC cars have improved over the years!! That thing is an absolute monster😈 One question, does the body roll reduce the performance of the vehicle? Could you modify it with a stabilizer bar or should the car not be modified and keep it's old school style stance? Either way, this car is a force to be reckoned with👍🏽

[@AMain_Hobbies]

A stabilizer bar would be a great addition for competition use, and there are a few companies now offering them. But the body roll isn't necessarily bad if you're just trying to have fun. -Brett
