Upgrade your Team Associated race kits with the new Factory Team aluminium rear hubs for B74.1 and B6.2.

With two set screws to further secure the hub and hub insert to the hinge pin, you can be sure these hubs will stay consistent run after run.
New from Team Associated, the RC10B6.3D and B6.3 continues the trend of refinement and reliable performance set forth by its predecessors. With an all-new wide-pivot rear end and chassis-mounted servo mount, the RC10B6.3D and B6.3 is unmatched in stability and confidence. Performance isn’t the only category that has been improved for this generation, durability has also taken a step forward by resolving issues such as bending wing mounts, steering bellcrank screw breakage and excessive steering linkage play. Additional new features designed with the racer in mind include an integrated transponder mount, +4mm shock rod ends, tie-rod battery brace hardware and linkage are included, 2-wire and 3-wire containing clips, rear shock tower guards and a redesigned smooth front shock tower guard to cover the exposed screw heads so they won’t pack with dirt.

A new addition from T-Works to their line of turnbuckle ball-end mounting tools. Made from hard coated aluminium, the tip is suitable for the ball ends from the Associated line of 1/10th buggies. The tool holds the ball end to prevent rotation when adjusting the turnbuckle. Each tool sports a lightweight aluminium handle and red plastic top for comfortable operation.

Saving weight, adding durability, and increasing adjustment options is high on the list of every racer. The one-piece aluminium front axles of Team Associated’s B6.2 are very light already, but can be bent by hard impacts and offer no track width adjustment options as seen on the buggies of the competition. Their truck counterparts are made of steel for added durability, but still have a fixed track width and off-set, and increase unsprung weight. RDRP’s titanium wheel axles come with 5mm aluminium clamping hexes for the B6 series and 8.5mm versions for their stadium and short course truck brothers. Both axle types accept the readily available Associated 1/10th scale wheel hexes for even more variety.
JConcepts has designed a new wheelie bar for the Team Associated DR10 which delivers on looks, versatility and performance. A successful design starts with a solid mounting location to resist twist and flex. The aluminium rear wheelie bar mount designed to fit into place provides solid placement. The anodised black with silver chamfer highlighting give the amazing look but more importantly replaces a stock plastic item which shores up a huge issue with the stock wheelie bar assembly. Backing into the design, attaching steel ball-ends to the assembly works wonders when connected to genuine Team Associated ball-cups threaded into aluminium tubes, steel Fin turnbuckles and secured with 3mm jam nuts to hold adjustment and stability.

Team Associated have introduced these optional Factory Team 92mm universals for your RC8B3 series buggy. They replace the original RC8B3 90.5mm and 93.5mm universals and will work on the front and rear end of the RC8B3, RC8B3.1 and RC8B3.2 buggies when using a 15mm rear outdrive and 17mm front outdrive. A universal joint has less mechanical bind than a CVA joint resulting in a softer suspension feel when compared to the stock 94mm CVAs. Universals will promote better handling in rough terrain and require minimal maintenance to keep performing at the highest level. Includes two 92mm universals per package.

Factory Team offers these dogbone sets for the RC8B3 series buggies and RC8T3 series. Dogbones will increase the efficiency and life of your centre drive line over universals because of the simplified drive system with only one drive pin instead of two used in a universal joint. Each set contains one dogbone, one outdrive, and one M5x4mm set screw and are available for the front and rear of the RC8B3 and only the front of the RC8T3. Factory Team have also introduced gear mesh inserts for quickly setting the gear mesh on the RC8B3 or RC8T3 nitro platforms. Especially useful on the stock 2-piece motor mount, they can also be used on the FT 3-piece mount to set gear mesh with proper teeth alignment. The inserts are compatible with 13T and 14T clutch bells without any changes to the insert orientation. Made specifically for OS based engines, these inserts also work will with other .21 sized engines.
