ASSOCIATED ELECTRICS - TEAM ASSOCIATED RC10 4WD JAY HALSEY CHAIN DRIVE KIT - AS6056

Vintage Looks. Championship Performance.

The RC10 Jay Halsey Chain Drive 4WD blends vintage styling with proven performance through a host of carefully engineered features.

A heavy-duty stainless-steel chain, hardened sprocket gears, carbon fiber chain separator, and adjustable chain tension system deliver reliable drivetrain performance, while front CVA axles, hardened driveshafts, and high-torque ball differentials enhance durability. Short front arm geometry, Worlds-style steering bell cranks, and long-travel fluid-filled aluminum shocks provide precise handling over rough terrain. Completing the package are a classic gold chassis, natural shock towers, RC10 Classic Protech body, Jay Halsey-style wing, full ball bearings, and compatibility with both 6-cell NiMH and 2S LiPo battery packs.

A Tribute to a 4WD Racing Legend.

The RC10 Jay Halsey Chain Drive 4WD celebrates one of the most memorable cars in Team Associated history, inspired by the prototype chain-driven buggy raced by Jay Halsey at the inaugural 1985 IFMAR Off-Road World Championships in Del Mar, California. After winning the 2WD World Championship, Halsey drove the experimental 4WD buggy to an impressive second-place overall finish, showcasing the potential of Team Associated’s innovative four-wheel-drive design.

Though not an exact replica of Halsey’s original race car, this special edition combines the proven vintage RC10 4WD platform with the classic short-arm suspension and a nostalgic chain drivetrain. Blending classic styling with modern vintage engineering, it delivers an authentic driving experience while honoring one of the most influential machines in the history of competitive off-road RC racing.

A Milestone in 4WD Racing.

The inaugural 1985 IFMAR Off-Road World Championships in Del Mar, California, marked a defining moment in the evolution of four-wheel-drive electric racing. Team Associated entered the event with an experimental chain-driven 4WD prototype piloted by newly crowned 2WD World Champion Jay Halsey.

Built to explore the advantages of four-wheel-drive traction and performance, the innovative buggy showcased impressive speed, handling, and durability against the world’s top competitors. Halsey’s exceptional driving earned him a second-place overall finish in the 4WD class, proving the potential of Team Associated’s ground-breaking design. While still a prototype, the chain-drive buggy became an important milestone in RC racing history and helped inspire the continued development of high-performance four-wheel-drive competition vehicles.
