Team Associated has been posting teaser pix of what looks to be a new buggy. The rumor mill was on overdrive, but the wait to find out what the heck is going on is finally over.
Meet the RC10B6 and RC10B6D, a pair of new 2WD buggies that team up to conquer both dirt and turf! Race on the rug? The B6 is your guy. More of a dirt driver – then you’re going to love the B6D. Here are some of the features these two new buggies are going to be equipped with:
