Apex2 Hoonicorn Builder’s Kit

Team Associated is excited to continue to partner with Hoonigan® . Built on an improved updated Hoonicorn kit, the Team Associated Hoonigan® car kits are tire-slaying beasts!

The Hoonicorn Builder’s Kit has been updated from our previous version with the latest features in on-road racing and a more durable 2.5mm thickness chassis.

A front and rear independent suspension with oil-filled, aluminum threaded shocks and active rear toe give the Hoonicorn Builder’s Kit the ultimate in handling on uneven tarmac. This makes it a perfect platform for any Hoonigan wanting tire-slaying action!

Based on RC10B74 series Technology

The Hoonicorn kit shares the same metal pinion/ring gear, HD diff outdrive, and differ-ential gears as the RC10B74 series. Additionally, even the HTC and LTC differential gears from the RC10B74 series, can be used on the Hoonicorn according to your needs.

The FT anti-roll bar set (31927) included in the Hoonicorn Builder’s Kit is identical to that of the RC10B74 series, leveraging the track validation of the RC10B74 series to ensure smoother operation of the vehicle. The kit comes with a 1.3mm anti-roll bar, and you can adjust the setup according to your needs by using anti-roll bars from the RC10B74 series.

The 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR V2 (HvW2 spec) builds upon where the original Hoonicorn left off. Taking the car that starred in Gymkhana SEVEN, the team modified the 410 cubic inch Roush Yates Ford V8 heart of the Hoonicorn to now feature a custom twin turbo setup from Garrett that feeds the boost through a custom Sitzer Dynamics intake manifold. The end result? 1,400 horsepower that’s fed through the Sadev all-wheel-drive system with paddle shifters. The whole package sits on a set of American Racing VF503 wheels with super sticky Toyo Proxes R888R tires. Designed from the start to take a car that was already crazy and make it absolutely insane!

Apex2 Hoonitruck Builder’s Kit

Team Associated is excited to continue to partner with Hoonigan® . Built on an improved updated Hoonitruck, the Team Associated Hoonigan® car kits are tire-slaying beasts!

The Hoonitruck Builder’s Kit has been updated from our previous version with the latest features in on-road racing and a more durable 2.5mm thickness chassis.

A front and rear independent suspension with oil-filled, aluminum threaded shocks and active rear toe give the Hoonitruck Builder’s Kit the ultimate in handling on uneven tarmac. This makes it a perfect platform for any Hoonigan wanting tire-slaying action!

Based on RC10B74 series Technology

The Hoonitruck kit shares the same metal pinion/ring gear, HD diff outdrive, and differ-ential gears as the RC10B74 series. Additionally, even the HTC and LTC differential gears from the RC10B74 series, can be used on the Hoonitruck according to your needs.

The FT anti-roll bar set (31927) included in the Hoonitruck Builder’s Kit is identical to that of the RC10B74 series, leveraging the track validation of the RC10B74 series to ensure smoother operation of the vehicle. The kit comes with a 1.3mm anti-roll bar, and you can adjust the setup according to your needs by using anti-roll bars from the RC10B74 series.

The Hoonitruck gets a light weight aluminium tubular chassis, roll cage and door bars. The whole chassis is made up of multiple joints to allow easy access to crucial components and can be fixed quickly. The body panels are made of carbon fibre. The Hoonitruck is definitely a brilliant piece of engineering. Taking inspiration from Hoonicorn, Ken and his team call this machine as Hoonitruck.

Coming to its heart, the Hoonitruck is powered by a Ford sourced 3.5 litre, 6 cylinder eco boost engine with twin turbo producing a whooping 914 hp at 7400 rpm and 951 Nm of torque at 6450 rpm. The engine has been custom built specially for this truck. To maximise the power, it gets a 3D printed air intake. The monstrous engine is mated to state of the art all-wheel drive transmission. The engine gets a liquid cooling both at the front as well as at the rear with two big fans. The engine stretches to half of the cockpit due to its huge size. The instant delivery of torque at just 6450 rpm allows the truck to burn the rubber like anything.
