Technical Performance
The Team Associated TC8 Spur Gear O-Ring is a small but critical component in the drivetrain system of your RC buggy. The 7x9x1mm O-ring serves as a sealing and positioning element within the spur gear assembly, where it plays an important role in maintaining proper engagement between gear components.
