About this product
Relive the golden era of Group B rally racing with this stunning recreation of 1980s motorsport icons. Team Associated has meticulously engineered the A550 Rally Car to capture the aggressive aesthetic and raw performance that defined classic rally competition. Every detail—from the scale mirrors and roof scoop to the dual exhaust and B-pillar window scoops—reflects authentic rally heritage. The injection-moulded body features aggressive rally-spec tyres and genuine rally-inspired styling that sets it apart from standard radio controlled cars. Built on the proven Apex2 4WD platform, this radio controlled rally car delivers the stability and responsiveness needed to conquer challenging terrain and demanding driving conditions.
The Apex2 chassis is engineered for serious rally enthusiasts seeking performance and control. Four-wheel independent A-arm suspension with coil-over shock absorbers keeps the A550 planted through aggressive cornering, whilst active rear toe suspension allows you to fine-tune grip characteristics throughout the suspension cycle. Power comes courtesy of a Reedy 550 15-turn 3-slot motor paired with a Reedy SC500X programmable brushed ESC, delivering impressive torque and speed. Sealed differentials front and rear protect against dirt ingress, whilst the sealed centre driveline ensures smooth, reliable power delivery. Whether you’re exploring local terrain or competing in organised events, this Ready-To-Run package from Team Associated UK provides everything needed to join the intense world of radio controlled rally racing.
