Tune your RC8B3.2 and RC8T3.2 to have increased rear grip and reduced turn-in with new low roll centre (LRC) rear arm mounts from Team Associated. By lowering the pill insert position by 1mm on both the C and D mounts, turn-in is reduced and rear traction is increased when exiting corners. CNC-machined from billet aluminium, it features a blue-anodised finish.

Team Associated have introduced these new 2mm G10 suspension arm inserts for the RC8B3.2. G10 fiberglass is a great upgrade to increase arm stiffness and durability over the stock plastic suspension arm inserts. While G10 is a more flexible material than carbon fibre, these inserts are thicker than the current carbon fibre inserts (2.0mm vs 1.2mm), so these inserts are stiffer than the current carbon fibre parts. Perfect for the upcoming heat of outdoor season.
