Overview
The Team Associated Red O-Rings AS5407 is an essential service spare part designed to keep your Team Associated RC models running smoothly and reliably. As a genuine OEM replacement component manufactured by Team Associated, these red silicone o-rings are engineered to maintain proper sealing and performance across a vast range of Associated vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated racer maintaining competition-grade RC cars, a weekend basher enjoying off-road action, or a collector preserving pristine models, having genuine replacement o-rings in your spares box is crucial for uninterrupted performance.
O-rings are fundamental sealing components found throughout RC vehicles, from shock absorbers and drive shafts to differentials and engine casings. Over time, these small but vital parts can wear, harden, or degrade due to exposure to dirt, moisture, and the stresses of racing and bashing. When seals begin to fail, you'll notice leaks, reduced performance, and potential damage to surrounding components. The AS5407 red silicone o-ring provides a direct replacement solution, ensuring your RC car UK models maintain their original factory performance and longevity. This is exactly why serious RC enthusiasts across the UK keep these spares on hand.
Made from durable red silicone material, the AS5407 is a like-for-like replacement part that fits an extraordinarily comprehensive range of Associated vehicles, from classic models to the latest competition platforms. Stocking genuine Team Associated spares like this demonstrates a commitment to proper maintenance and getting the best out of your RC investment. At RC Model Shop, we supply only authorised genuine parts, ensuring you receive components that meet Team Associated's exacting quality standards.

Technical Performance
The AS5407 red silicone o-ring represents the kind of precision engineering that Team Associated has built its reputation upon. Silicone o-rings are superior to standard rubber alternatives because they maintain their elasticity and sealing properties across a wider temperature range, resist degradation from UV exposure and ozone, and provide better flexibility for maintaining consistent seals even as components age. The red silicone formulation used in the AS5407 specifically is designed to work across all seasons and conditions encountered in typical UK RC racing and bashing. Whether you're running your RC car UK models in winter conditions or during hot summer outdoor sessions, the silicone material will maintain proper sealing characteristics. The o-ring's dimensional precision ensures it seats correctly in the original grooves and bores of your Associated vehicle, preventing the fluid leaks and loss of performance that occur when seals degrade. For competitive racers, maintaining fresh o-rings in shock absorbers is particularly critical, as old, hardened seals can affect suspension damping characteristics and alter handling balance. For bashers and casual hobbyists, routine o-ring replacement prevents the costly damage that results from differential fluid leaks or shock leakage onto bearing surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need replacement o-rings for my Team Associated RC car? — O-rings are critical sealing components used throughout RC models in shocks, differentials, drive shafts, and engine casings. With regular use, silicone o-rings gradually harden and lose their flexibility, compromising their ability to maintain watertight and fluid-tight seals. When seals fail, you experience fluid leaks from differentials and shocks, water ingress that damages electronics, and potential bearing damage. Routine o-ring replacement is an essential part of RC car maintenance that prevents expensive repairs and keeps performance consistent.
- How often should I replace o-rings on my Associated RC model? — The replacement interval depends on your usage patterns. Competitive racers running intensive training sessions should inspect and replace o-rings every 10-20 hours of run time. Weekend bashers and casual users might replace them every 4-6 weeks during the summer season or when you notice leaks or soft spots in suspension damping. Always replace o-rings immediately if you notice fluid weeping from shocks or differentials, or if your vehicle has been submerged in water or exposed to extensive mud.
- What vehicles does the AS5407 fit? — The AS5407 is compatible with over 50 Team Associated models spanning multiple platforms and generations, including the RC10 series, TC series (TC4, TC5, TC6, TC7 and variants), B-series buggies (B44, B5, B6, B64 and variants), SC10 short-course trucks, and APEX vehicles. Check the comprehensive compatibility list to confirm your specific model is supported.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, the AS5407 is a genuine Team Associated OEM component, manufactured to the exact specifications and quality standards required for your vehicle. Always use genuine parts rather than aftermarket alternatives to ensure proper fitment, correct performance characteristics, and long-term reliability of your RC model.
- How many o-rings come in one package? — The AS5407 is supplied as a single o-ring. Depending on your vehicle and where the o-ring is fitted, you may need multiple units to complete a full maintenance service, so it's worth stocking several spares.
