Team Associated is the industry leader in race-level competition vehicles in a variety of sizes, ranging from diminutive 1:18 scale to serious nitro-thundering 1:8 scale machines. Our vehicles ride on road and

off road, and are powered by electric motors and nitro engines. Our race-winning offerings include buggies, touring cars, monster trucks, and realistic-looking Short Course trucks. Team Associated manages an in-house staff to research and develop our own race-related radio-control car products. Our talented engineers - many accomplished racers themselves - bring their years of solid racing experience to design cars that will compete at the highest levels of competition. Team Associated fields a worldwide race team of unparalleled talent. Our stable of drivers are responsible for the many championship-caliber awards amassed since our first products in the early 1970s.

A HUGE congratulations to our newly crowned European Championship B winner, Iker Téllez!

Held last weekend at the infamous and incredibly challenging track in Guarda, Portugal, it was a fantastic weekend for Team Associated.

An incredible five Team Associated RC8B4.2s made it into the A-Main, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved.

And what an impressive performance it was! Taking 2 steps on the podium is simply amazing.

🥇 P1 – Iker Téllez 🇪🇸
🥉 P3 – Erik Becerril Rodríguez 🇪🇸
P4 – Andrea Cairoli 🇮🇹
P7 – Tristan Reignier 🇨🇭
P10 – Florent Auderset 🇨🇭

Our very own mechanic of 3x World Champion, Mauro Ongaro, was on hand throughout the weekend to make sure the team got the very best from their platforms. Thank you.

A massive congratulations to all the drivers, mechanics and everyone behind the scenes who made this possible.

Masami Hirosaka updates us on his prep for the 2026 Team Associated 1:28 International in Las Vegas!

(Subtitles are available in 16 languages)
The "TEAM ASSOCIATED 1/28 INTERNATIONAL" will be held from September 4th to 6th, 2026, in Las Vegas, USA.

I will be participating with an ASSOCIATED RC28.

1/28 scale car racing is a category that is expected to become increasingly popular in the future, so I am very much looking forward to its development.

I will also be competing in the "TEAM ASSOCIATED VINTAGE CHAMPIONSHIP," which will be held concurrently at the same venue. This is a massive race with over 1,000 entrie cars across both categories.

I am looking forward to reuniting with RC fans from all over the world.

Special Thanks to
