Team Associated, or Associated Electrics Incorporated , which is located in Lake Forest, California, is considered by many to be the world’s number one manufacturer of RC cars. Founded in 1964 by Roger Curtis and Lee Yurada, this company has grown to be one of the best in the industry. This probably stems from the founders experience fabricating parts for Douglas Aircraft prior to starting the company. Lee Yurada’s portion of the company was bought out in 1969 by Gene Husting. The company later became the first company to take advantage of radio control technology when they introduced the RC1 model.

The true advent of RC Nitro cars came when, in 1984, Roger Curtis designed the RC10. This 1/10th scale electric model was built on an aircraft chassis, which enabled it to be driven off-road with ease. This is when RC Nitro car design and industry really took off. That model famously swept the IMFAR competition away. The company was sold in 2005 to a Taiwanese company called Thunder Tiger. Known for many models, some of the standouts include the SC10, the RC10R5, the Bully Dog, and the 12R5.1. Another great model produced by the company is the RC8T team Championship model.

Recently, the company has made headlines because of its cars. The RC8B model broke world records by making the longest RC Nitro car jump at 137.3 feet. In various championships, many people have successfully used models such as the TC5R, RC8B, and RC10. With buggies, touring cars, monster trucks, and short course trucks, this company has a wide variety of quality products. Whether it’s a 1/18th scale model or a 1/8th scale model, you will get quite a bit of bang for your buck when you purchase an RC Nitro car from Team Associated.
