Overview
The Team Associated AS25835 Front & Rear Anti-Roll Bar Suspension Tuning Kit for Rival MT10 is a precision engineering solution designed to transform your 1/10-scale RC truck's handling dynamics and cornering performance. Whether you're a competitive racer looking to fine-tune your setup or a weekend basher seeking improved stability and control, this complete sway bar kit delivers the suspension adjustments needed to elevate your driving experience across diverse terrain. Anti-roll bars, also known as sway bars, are critical suspension components that reduce chassis roll during cornering, allowing your truck to maintain better tyre contact and weight distribution for sharper, more predictable handling.
Manufactured by Team Associated, a recognised leader in RC vehicle engineering, the AS25835 kit is specifically engineered for the Rival MT10 platform and provides both front and rear anti-roll bars along with all necessary pivots, eyelets, and mounting hardware. This comprehensive suspension upgrade is ideal for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want to dial in their truck's handling characteristics without purchasing multiple individual components. The kit works equally well with brushed and brushless MT10 variants, making it a versatile choice for drivers upgrading their existing setup or building a new competition-grade machine.
Adding anti-roll bars to your Rival MT10 helps minimise chassis roll on high-traction surfaces, making your vehicle significantly more responsive in cornering and dramatically more stable when pushing hard through bends. If you're serious about extracting maximum performance from your 1/10 RC truck UK, this is an essential tuning investment that allows you to adjust understeer and oversteer characteristics to match your driving style and track conditions.
Key Features
- Complete front and rear anti-roll bar set — This kit includes both front and rear sway bars engineered to work together as a balanced system, allowing you to reduce chassis roll during cornering whilst maintaining responsive steering inputs for improved overall handling across all driving conditions.
- Eight precision anti-roll bar eyelets — These eyelets connect the sway bars securely to your suspension arms, ensuring smooth articulation and consistent performance during aggressive cornering and rough terrain bashing without unwanted movement or flex.
- Four anti-roll bar pivots for smooth articulation — The pivots enable the sway bars to move freely and respond to suspension geometry changes, delivering predictable handling and allowing the anti-roll bars to function correctly during turns and weight transfers.
- Complete mounting hardware included — Four M3×0.5×6mm black BHCS screws and four M3×0.5×12mm set screws are supplied, eliminating the need to source additional fasteners and ensuring proper, secure installation straight out of the box.
- Tuning flexibility for handling adjustment — By fitting this complete anti-roll bar kit, you gain the ability to fine-tune your Rival MT10's suspension characteristics, adjusting understeer and oversteer balance to suit your preferred driving style and track surface conditions.
- Reduces body roll and improves cornering stability — The primary benefit of anti-roll bars is their ability to minimise unwanted chassis roll during cornering, which helps maintain consistent tyre contact with the track surface and creates a more predictable, controllable driving experience.
- Enhances steering response and turn-in sharpness — By limiting body roll and maintaining better weight distribution, these sway bars deliver noticeably sharper steering response and improved mid-corner stability, giving drivers greater confidence when pushing their truck to the limit.
- Genuine Team Associated parts for perfect compatibility — As official Team Associated hardware, these components are engineered to exact specifications for the Rival MT10, guaranteeing perfect fit, function, and reliability without any fitment issues or compromises.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated AS25835 anti-roll bar suspension tuning kit represents precision engineering at its finest, combining high-quality materials and proven suspension design principles to deliver measurable performance improvements. Each anti-roll bar is manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that the front and rear bars work together harmoniously to control chassis roll without over-stiffening the suspension or compromising ride quality. The four pivots are engineered to provide smooth, consistent articulation whilst maintaining structural rigidity, preventing unwanted flex that could undermine the effectiveness of the anti-roll bars. The eight eyelets provide multiple connection points for secure mounting, distributing loads evenly across the suspension system and eliminating stress concentrations that could cause premature wear or failure. All fasteners — the M3×0.5×6mm and M3×0.5×12mm screws — are high-specification black BHCS (Button Head Cap Screws) designed for RC vehicle applications, offering superior strength and reliability compared to standard fasteners. The kit's design allows for direct installation onto your existing Rival MT10 suspension, making it an ideal upgrade whether you're running the standard MT10, the Pro4 SC10, or any of the other compatible 1/10-scale platforms listed in the manufacturer specifications. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge, though professional installation is recommended for optimal setup and tuning to your specific driving preferences and track conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an anti-roll bar and why do I need one on my Rival MT10? — An anti-roll bar, also called a sway bar, is a suspension component that connects the left and right sides of your truck's suspension to reduce chassis roll during cornering. When your truck leans through a corner, an anti-roll bar resists this motion, helping your tyres maintain better contact with the track surface. This translates to improved cornering grip, sharper steering response, and more stable, predictable handling — especially important on high-traction surfaces where chassis roll can seriously compromise performance and make the truck difficult to control precisely.
- Will this anti-roll bar kit work on other Team Associated models besides the Rival MT10? — According to the manufacturer specifications, this is a Rival MT10 Front Anti-Roll Bar Set. However, other Team Associated models may accept anti-roll bars designed for their specific platform. We recommend contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- How difficult is it to install the Team Associated AS25835 anti-roll bar kit? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical knowledge. The kit includes all necessary hardware, and the components are designed for direct installation onto your Rival MT10 suspension. However, proper setup and tuning to match your driving style and track conditions may require some suspension knowledge. If you're new to RC suspension tuning, we recommend getting advice from experienced RC builders or our team at RC Model Shop to ensure optimal performance.
- What is the difference between the front and rear anti-roll bars in this kit? — The front and rear anti-roll bars work together as a balanced system to control chassis roll throughout your truck. The front bar primarily affects front-end grip and turn-in response, whilst the rear bar influences rear-end stability and overall balance. Using both together allows you to fine-tune your truck's overall handling characteristics and adjust understeer and oversteer to match your preferred driving style and track conditions.
- Can I adjust the stiffness of these anti-roll bars? — Anti-roll bar stiffness is determined by the bar diameter and material composition. These bars come as complete units set to specific performance parameters. However, some RC systems offer bars of varying diameters for different stiffness levels. We recommend contacting our team for information on alternative anti-roll bar options if you need to adjust suspension stiffness.
- What surfaces will benefit most from installing anti-roll bars? — Anti-roll bars are most effective on high-traction surfaces such as tarmac, concrete, and well-maintained dirt tracks where chassis roll can significantly affect handling. They're also beneficial for on-road racing, stadium truck racing, and other competitive applications where precise steering control and consistent cornering performance are critical. They're less critical on loose, low-traction terrain where suspension compliance is more important than roll resistance.
- Do I need any additional parts to complete this installation? — The kit includes all anti-roll bar components and fasteners needed for installation. Your existing Rival MT10 frame and suspension should already have the attachment points for this kit. Make sure your truck is in good mechanical condition before installation, as worn suspension components should be replaced first to ensure optimal performance from your new anti-roll bars.
