Team Associated Rival MT10 thread
#1

Team Associated has revived the Rival! Looks like an all-new design. 3S capable 1/10 MT, plastic chassis, 4 shocks, all new truck.

Looks like it's pretty similar to the Helion Avenge 10MT, other than bumper/wheelie bar

Wish they would have used same wheels as avenge but from what I here the avenge was a pretty tough truck

Hi all...new to the forum and to R/C as a whole...Just purchased a Rival MT10 today...just wondering if there is anything else I should purchase as far as spare parts, tools, etc...any insight for this newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Replacement arm set from a Helion Avenge MT is a really good idea, for some reason the Associated arms are much weaker.
A temp gun to measure motor temps. I think that's about it, the truck is quite good.

Out of curiosity, what’s the ground clearance on this thing? I’m checking out the specs, but I don’t see it listed (though I could have missed it)
I ordered a B74, but this could potentially make a nice gift for my nephew to bash around with.

So...is it just me or is that just a straight up copy of stampede 4x4?

this truck has the exact same layout and overall design as a stampede 4x4, from the chassis pan layout, bulkhead design, how front and rear bulkheads attach to the chassis, motor mount design, suspension set up, shock tower design, steering mechanism, servo placement, even the receiver box layout and placement. It’s ancient coming from traxxas and just down right sad from Associated as some kind of “all new” offering.
i haven’t been in the game as long as most, but where did stampede 4x4 copy it’s design from?
