Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Associated CR12 and is this part compatible with my car? — The Associated CR12 is a popular RC car platform from Team Associated. These rear drive axles are specifically designed for the CR12 model. Before ordering, please refer to your vehicle manual or parts list to verify that AS41015 matches your specific model to ensure proper compatibility and successful installation.
- Why should I use genuine Associated replacement parts rather than aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM parts like these rear drive axles are engineered and tested by the manufacturer to ensure perfect compatibility, proper fit and reliable performance with your specific vehicle. Using genuine parts helps you avoid potential compatibility issues, performance problems and premature wear that can sometimes occur with non-OEM components.
- What symptoms indicate I need to replace my rear drive axles? — Common signs that your rear axles may need replacement include unusual noises from the rear drivetrain, difficulty accelerating or transmitting power to the wheels, visible damage or bending in the axles, or poor handling and tracking. If you've had a significant crash or impact to the rear of your vehicle, inspecting the axles for damage is recommended.
- How difficult is it to install these rear drive axles? — Installation of these axles is generally straightforward for users with basic RC car maintenance experience and a standard tool set. However, the exact installation procedure will vary depending on your specific CR12 variant. We strongly recommend consulting your vehicle manual for detailed installation instructions, step-by-step guidance, and any special tools or procedures required for your model.
- Is this a complete rear axle assembly or just replacement axles? — These are replacement rear drive axles specifically, providing the core components needed for rear drivetrain operation. Depending on the extent of damage or wear to your existing rear axle assembly, you may need to transfer other components from your original assembly or source additional parts. Refer to your parts list and manual to determine what else might be needed for your specific repair.
- How often should I check or replace my rear drive axles? — With normal use, rear axles can last a considerable time. However, regular inspection is part of good RC car maintenance. After crashes, hard impacts to the rear, or if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, inspect the axles for damage. Keeping spare axles on hand means you can quickly swap them out if needed, minimising your downtime between races or bashing sessions.
