Factory Team RC10B7 -4 Offset Alu Rear Hubs

Team Associated’s option parts & accessories brand Factory Team has introduced these new -4 offset aluminium rear hubs. The hubs serve as a direct replacement for the plastic -4 rear hubs on the Team Associated RC10B7 1:10 2WD Buggy. For use on buggy platform they need to be paired with the appropriate 81mm arms, 71mm CVA bones, and B74 CVA axle. With the trucks you can simply install them because the appropriate CVA bones and axles come in the kit. The benefits of the aluminium hubs are the added rigidity and weight difference. The weight difference is a nice tuning option for those that want to change the amount of unsprung weight. The hubs are offered in both blue or black in your choice of standard or HRC geometry.
