Team Associated SR27 Ready-To-Run

Team Associated (AE) has launched the all-new SR27 Ready-To-Run (RTR) 1/27 scale mini RC car, suitable for players of all RC skill levels, from beginners to experienced enthusiasts. Its compact size allows players to easily turn their living room or small spaces into an exciting race track! The car is powered by AAA batteries, with the Datsun 240z available in three colors and the Nissan Z in two. According to information provided by AE, the SR27 features a soft-shell design, and some chassis parts may be compatible with the popular Kyosho Mini-Z. However, the SR27 product line is still in its early stages, and compared to the well-established Mini-Z with its wide range of original parts, third-party upgrades, and organized racing events, AE’s SR27 still has a long way to go. Hopefully, this series won’t just be a short-lived “toy-grade mini RC car.”

• Supports rechargeable AAA batteries
