Team Associated B64 Club Racer Build

Team Associated B64 Club Racer Build

When the news came out that Team Associated was drumming up a new 4-wheeler, there was quite a stir as to what and how different it might be from the B44 series. I actually loved my B44.3, but everyone that has one of the new cars says it’s a night and day difference – I can’t wait to find out!

However, before we get to the build, let’s take a look at the support equipment that we’ll be using with this car. It’s a good thing to note that, other than the wheels, tires and radio system, the Club Racer comes with all the other electronics in separate boxes in the kit!
