Just in time for Christmas Team Associated announced the all-new A550 Rally Car built on a budget friendly Apex2 Sport chassis. This RC car is a beautiful true-to-life scale version of the Group B cars from the golden era of rallying during the 1980s. These cars were some of the fastest, most powerful, and most sophisticated rally cars ever built!

Among the other new for this year Tamiya revealed their second modern era rally chassis kit platform: the all-new XV-02 Pro chassis kit! The first rally chassis incorporated a 4WD belt drive system with clever positioning of the RC electronic components with debris protection compartments. This new platform takes its 4WD drivetrain into a different direction by using a shaft-driven system with front mid-ship motor placement that incorporates equal length front and rear propeller shafts.
Blaze RC has presented their new DK4 1/9th Scale 4WD dual purpose RC car (it can be changed easily into a Buggy and a Rally car). This innovative model features a traditional shaft-driven system, 3-diff, adjustable suspension with threaded aluminum body bleeder cap shock absorbers, aluminum servo mount and a multi-flex chassis for tuning the model for different track conditions through a screws system.
What makes the Blaze DK4 Desert Rally quite unique is that all composite parts of this pre-assembled model are manufactured by XRAY (as far as I remember this is the first time the European brand collaborates with another company to create something for bashers)!
