Team Associated A550 Rally Car – Group B Style with 4WD Performance
Team Associated A550 Rally Car is a 1:10 scale 4WD RTR rally car that combines styling inspired by the legendary Group B era with the proven Apex2 Sport chassis. The detailed four-color polycarbonate body, white turbine-style wheels and rally tread tires give the model a distinctive classic competition look.
The Apex2 Sport chassis uses independent A-arm suspension front and rear with coil-over shocks to help the car stay composed on uneven asphalt and similar surfaces. One of the more interesting features is the Active Rear Toe suspension system, which changes rear toe angle as the suspension moves and helps improve rear-end grip and handling characteristics.
The full-time 4WD drivetrain provides stable handling and strong traction, while the enclosed center drivetrain helps keep dirt and debris away from moving components. Sealed front and rear gear differentials, steel dogbones and steel drive axles add durability for regular use.
Power comes from a Reedy 550 15T 3-slot brushed motor, controlled by a programmable Reedy SC500X brushed ESC with a T-Plug battery connector. The model comes fully assembled as an RTR package with the radio system, steering servo, ESC and receiver already installed. A suitable battery and charger are required separately.
The A550 body also includes plenty of realistic details such as separate mirrors, windshield wipers, auxiliary lights, spoiler, headlight details and exhaust. White 1.9″ turbine-style wheels with block-pattern rally tires complete the classic Group B-inspired appearance.
Our Recommended Battery and Charger
To get your Team Associated A550 Rally Car ready to drive as easily as possible, we recommend the Ruddog 3000mAh 7.4V 50C LiPo 2S Shorty Stick Pack Battery with T-Plug – RP-0768. Its compact Shorty format is well suited to the battery compartment used in the Apex2 Sport chassis, while the T-Plug connector allows it to connect directly to the ESC without an additional adapter.
Our recommended setup:
- Ruddog 3000mAh 7.4V 50C LiPo 2S Shorty Stick Pack Battery (T-Plug) – RP-0768
- Suitable 2S LiPo balance charger
The 3000 mAh capacity offers a good balance between driving time, weight and compact size, making it a practical choice for everyday hobby use.
