Team Associated is bringing back an off-road icon: the RC28 ZOOM Brian Kinwald is a 1/28 scale replica of the famous RC10 Brian Kinwald Edition kit. Listed as part number 20172 (UPC 784695201729), this ready-to-run micro buggy carries the original livery of the chassis that defined the 1990s, in a format that fits in your hand.

The RC28 ZOOM Brian Kinwald, a full RTR

Supplied complete, the RC28 ZOOM Brian Kinwald comes with its 2.4 GHz transmitter, its RC10 body already painted and decaled, and an integrated battery recharged through the supplied USB-C cord. Nothing else is required: just charge the pack and drive. The electric motor and drivetrain deliver smooth running, while the rubber tyres and off-road stance let it clear obstacles and rough ground indoors as well as in the garden.

A tribute to Brian Kinwald

The choice of livery is no accident. Brian Kinwald remains one of the most significant drivers in RC off-road history: the 1993 IFMAR 2WD world champion raced for Team Associated for many years and contributed to the development of several generations of chassis, particularly on suspension and drivetrain setup. The RC10 Brian Kinwald Edition is one of the most sought-after kits among collectors, which gives this 1/28 version real nostalgic value.

Price and availability

The RC28 ZOOM Brian Kinwald is announced as a pre-order at Team Associated. In Europe it is already listed at Ruddog at around 59.99 euros, placing it in the same price bracket as the other RTRs in the RC28 ZOOM family.
