- Premium Quality Bearings — The set includes four Universal Ball Bearings plus two additional ball bearings in the 10x15x4mm size, ensuring smooth rotation of all drivetrain components and reducing friction that could otherwise cause power loss or premature wear.
- Official Team Associated Components — These are genuine factory parts manufactured to the exact specifications of the Rival MT10, guaranteeing compatibility and performance consistency that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
- Complete Hardware Included — You get pin screws, M4 serrated nuts, and retention pins all included in the box, so you won't need to hunt down additional fasteners to complete your installation.
- Dual-Cup Design — The set includes both output cups and input cups in the slider-type configuration, allowing you to rebuild your complete drivetrain transmission system with confidence.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated Rival MT10 Driveshaft Set AS25821 represents the pinnacle of 1/10 scale stadium truck drivetrain engineering. Team Associated has engineered this slider-type driveshaft assembly to provide optimal power transmission efficiency with minimal parasitic loss, which translates directly to better acceleration, smoother handling and more consistent performance lap after lap. The inclusion of precision ball bearings throughout the assembly ensures that rotational components spin freely with virtually no friction, maintaining the energy delivery from your brushless motor to the wheels. The M4 serrated nuts provide secure fastening that won't loosen during aggressive driving, while the dual-pin configuration offers multiple mounting options for different driving styles or track conditions. Whether you're running a competitive 1/10 scale stadium truck racing programme or simply maintaining a beloved weekend basher, the engineering quality evident in this component set demonstrates Team Associated's commitment to durability and performance. The slider-type design is particularly beneficial because it allows smooth power application during acceleration and clean power delivery during deceleration, which is essential for maintaining control on tight technical courses typical of stadium truck racing.
