T5M – Tony Phalen Build

- Team Associated T5M - Tony Phalen - Build -

It was only a matter of time until the brilliant mid-motor design of Team Associated’s B5M made its way to their Stadium Truck. This truck features all of the same goodness as the buggy but in a longer, wider form. It’s handling is excellent and it jumps like a gazelle, making it one of the best Stadium Trucks I’ve ever driven.

While the build is very similar to that of the
B5M
, we thought it deserved its own build simply because it’s just that good.

We used the following parts in our build:

• Reedy RS1508 Digital HV Servo,
