My very first rc was the brushed Granite. In less than a week I went brushless but really for a beginner I should have waited longer and just learned how to drive and maintain the truck. I do own the Brushless Rival now and it's plenty fast and requires some space to really drive it in. Yes LIPO batteries are dangerous and should be stored and charged properly. The car is also dangerous if it hits someone at high speed. The brushed version MT10 is the perfect basher for a beginner and would be easy to upgrade as your driving skills improve. Great job showing this car. 👍👍
@@RCRoads Funny you say that, the next video on this truck is just that. I talk about what to do before you hit the ramps, test throttle, steering, brakes, etc... Video is in the queue to be released.
Great unboxing and overview if the MT10 brushed. I'm glad you made this video for the new person venturing into the RC hobby. You hit it out of the park with the tips and first test drive, making sure the electronics are working as well as the battery. I'm glad to hear you say use a lipo bag for charging and not to leave it unattended. Store in a fireproof container, not in the house. Wish I had something else to offer you did excellent 💯💯💯💯💯💯🤜🤛
@SpareTime RC Thank you really appreciate that👍 When I first saw this RC, I thought about my first RC and what would I want to know the do's and don'ts as I'm coming into the hobby. Sometimes folks coming into the hobby are quick to take an RC like this and make it brushless with out really knowing what it has to offer. I've learned the hard way not to be too quick to just upgrade right after you buy an RC. Enjoy it learn it then improve what you feel needs to be improved based on your driving.
@Ready Set RC Again, you created this video going back on your first Hobby grade RC, which is why this video is awesome. Thanks again, keep going, sir.I'm impressed with your channel. 💯💯💯👍👍🤜🤛
@@ReadySetRC thank you readyset. Very helpful. Think I’ll pull the trigger on this brushed version since i have a couple brushed systems laying around i can put in. $40 savings seem worth it.
@Delta Zero Just as bulletproof as the brushless. I filmed two runs already. One with the provided 2S pack and the second with a 60C 2S pack and upped the pinion to 14T. That woke the truck right up.
@Alvaro Loyola The truck uses 40wt shock fluid in the front and rear shocks. I believe it's equivalent to 500cSt. Team Associated has their own shock oils. I've been using them for years. It's under their Factory Team line. Hope this helps.
Thanks for answering, I bought mine (v1) second hand and I'm very happy with it, that's why I wanted to know about the oil to do the maintenance. Thank you
@anthonyjerram5519 Not brushed but with the brushless system I eventually put into it, yes. If you got time, there is a whole playlist. Show the progression of buying an brushed RC and eventually going brushless.
@Jason Perrin RC That would be a nice little ripper. When I had the brushless one I threw in a GoolRC 80a ESC and the Arrma 3800KV motor. That thing was like running a Team Corally truck on 6S😱 and that was on 3S.
@@johnturley4147 Oh, if it's what I think you are talking about it's a loop back plug. The RC you have may be able to run on two battery packs. The loop back plug allows you to run on a single battery pack. Example, so instead of running two 2S packs to get to 4S, you would run a single 4S battery pack with the loop back plug.
@Ready Set RC that's I'm just getting into rc cars because of my grandson I had no idea what it was there was no mention of it in any of the paperwork just wondering thanks again
@Memz Mtz I got a few spare systems in my parts bin. One of them is going in there. No specifics on manufacturers but looking at a 3300kv motor but no more than 3800kv motor and maybe a 130A ESC if I have something lower I may go that route but I have a few 3S systems lying around. A couple 4S but that would be insane for this truck. I did a swap out the system in the brushless model. I put in a 3S GoolRC ESC and Arrma 3800kv motor. Upped the pinion to 14T, it was a nutball.
Yea I think 3300kv motor would be perfect for this. It'll be cool if you happen to make a video when you do the brushless conversion. Great videos man, thanks for replying!
I have the brushless version of this new, never been ran, just sits on a shelf. Neat trucks for what the cost is. Might have to purchase this one and run it.
Thanks 👍 I just received this one today it's still in the box I thought I was ordering the brushless one so I was wondering if I should keep it or send it back 😂
@BANG For Your Buck Rc Reviews The brushless is a little beast. They actually do have a SCT. Check out the Pro4 SC10. It's a slightly longer chassis but the same layout. What some folks do is swap chassis and center drive shaft and get a longer chassis on the MT10. Here's the link to the Pro4 SC10 www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/cars_and_trucks/Pro4SC10/RTR/

@Robert Ball RC The best comment I have received all week👍 Truly the reason I started this series and I appreciate your honesty.
@@ReadySetRC It's a great series. I think you really should continue to do more episodes like this. Maybe some tips on driving as well.

Need a version without battery and charger the bl is only 40 more no brainer but for a noob i get it ..great build series 👌
@rcjoe406 Thank you👍
Since you’ve owned both…are there any differences between brushed and brushless beyond the electronics and lack of lights?
@MileHighSpeedRC That is it. Diff's are metal like the brushless.
@@ReadySetRC thank you readyset. Very helpful. Think I’ll pull the trigger on this brushed version since i have a couple brushed systems laying around i can put in. $40 savings seem worth it.
@@milehighspeedrc8412 That was my thought too.
Can you show the tuning into brushless and bashing in next material?
Is this bulletproof same as normal one?
@Delta Zero Just as bulletproof as the brushless. I filmed two runs already. One with the provided 2S pack and the second with a 60C 2S pack and upped the pinion to 14T. That woke the truck right up.
hello, nice video. I am new to rc but i'm old, what oil does this truck use in the shock absorbers?
@Alvaro Loyola The truck uses 40wt shock fluid in the front and rear shocks. I believe it's equivalent to 500cSt. Team Associated has their own shock oils. I've been using them for years. It's under their Factory Team line. Hope this helps.

Hi, Great video, would i be able to run a 3s battery on this ...cheers
@anthonyjerram5519 Not brushed but with the brushless system I eventually put into it, yes. If you got time, there is a whole playlist. Show the progression of buying an brushed RC and eventually going brushless.
AE's bodies always look great. I think this would be a great truck to use the stock Sketer system in.
@Jason Perrin RC That would be a nice little ripper. When I had the brushless one I threw in a GoolRC 80a ESC and the Arrma 3800KV motor. That thing was like running a Team Corally truck on 6S😱 and that was on 3S.
Nice little truck for starters for sure
Good review 🙂👌🏻
@Kaos RC Thanks bud👍
What is the little black loop with a little plug on the end
@John Turley In this video? Could you give me a reference point? I don't recall seeing anything like that in the video.
@Ready Set RC not in the video but but I just bought one and it was in the box
I have the brushless version

I literally just got this truck in the mail. Hypothetically, I wanted to go brushless on it. What system would you recommend?
@Memz Mtz I got a few spare systems in my parts bin. One of them is going in there. No specifics on manufacturers but looking at a 3300kv motor but no more than 3800kv motor and maybe a 130A ESC if I have something lower I may go that route but I have a few 3S systems lying around.

No provided hex wrench! 😕
Has a slipper clutch? 😞
@Stephen Ksiazek Yeah a lot of companies are going away from supplying the basic tools, even on the beginner RC's. No slipper, this has three diff's.
I have the brushless version of this new, never been ran, just sits on a shelf. Neat trucks for what the cost is. Might have to purchase this one and run it.
@Jack Anapes Great platform.
Why u buy it if you dont run it
@@MrTurbo87lx I guess it's what's referred to as collecting. And I like the look of the truck too well to damage it. I have other trucks for running.
Thanks for the video I got a question is it water proof
@free JONES Water resistant not proof.
Thanks 👍 I just received this one today it's still in the box I thought I was ordering the brushless one so I was wondering if I should keep it or send it back 😂
@@fredjones39337 Pretty much the same truck as the brushless minus the lights.
No RCs are truly waterproof. The only way to make them waterproof is to take the electronics apart and coat the boards with conformal coating.
So I know it wouldn't go in a lake but it would be okay to ride it in snow, right?! Or wet dirt, etc?
I love the scheme on this one
@CoachD RC Yeah Coach it pops💪
What is the top speed of the brushed?
@Sawyer Maurits Eyeball test, with stock gearing and battery, about 20mph.
Thank you, you have me as a subscriber now for your your help!
@@sawyermaurits1308 Thank you! Appreciate the support👍
Could i run 2 of these at the same time, or will they interfere with each other
@clownpuncher29 You can not off of the the same transmitter.
Give like good truck friend
@RC Cars Lover Thank you, I appreciate the support👍
They probably made this to compete with Arrma and Traxxas' brushed versions of their vehicles.
@SnarkyRC Totally agree.
Great to see a brushed version is available! I’ve got the BL and absolutely am crazy about it! Wish they’d make a short course version of this too!😝

Id like to see them get into the 1/10 truggy class that tekno offers
