Super Touring Racing
Super Touring is a segment of motorsports that got its start in the mid-90s. These cars were based on production road cars with extensive modifications made for racing. It quickly became popular among motorsport enthusiasts and RC racers alike. Many RC manufacturers jumped on the popularity of this new class of racing, with Team Associated’s entry being the TC3 back in 1999.
Fast-forward to today and the Super Touring class, now called “New Generation V8 Supercar,” is still popular. Once again Team Associated has jumped into this popular class, this time with the Apex2 Sport ST550 Super Touring Car chassis. The ST550 features realistic modern-day race car looks, such as injection-molded disk brakes, spoiler, mirrors, and raceinspired graphics.
Independent Suspension
For better handling, A-arm front and rear independent suspension keeps the Apex2 chassis under control during the closest of racing conditions.
Coil-Over Shocks
Coil-over shocks absorbers smooth out the bumps when ripping around the track.
SC500X ESC
The Apex2 Sport comes equipped with Reedy SC500X programmable brushed ESC with T-Plug connector and Reedy's 550 15-turn 3-slot motor.
Chassis Layout
Redesigned chassis layout allows for either a shorty or standard battery configuration to be used for maximum performance or runtime.
Active Rear Suspension
Active rear suspension allows the amount of toe change to be adjusted through the suspension cycle, increasing or decreasing rear grip.
Sealed Center Driveline
A sealed center driveline keeps dirt and debris out for smooth and reliable power delivery.
Brake Calipers
Injection-molded brake calipers and rotors gives the Apex2 Sport chassis scale looks.
Radial Tires
Race-inspired radial tires wrapped around 1.9" wheels gives the Nizzan Z plenty of traction on the track.
