The RC10 platform featured cutting-edge engineering for its era, with a double deck chassis paired with the now-famous Stealth transmission, which offered smoother power delivery and improved efficiency.

Sourcing genuine Team Associated spares like the AS6778 front suspension arms ensures you're using components engineered and tested to the same exacting standards that secured Masami Hirosaka's historic victory.

Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated Component — These are original manufacturer spares designed specifically for the RC10 '91 Stealth Car, ensuring perfect fit and performance compatibility with your vintage platform.
- Front Suspension Application — Engineered to work with the RC10 Stealth's race-tuned front suspension system, these arms maintain the precision handling characteristics that made the car championship-winning on demanding track surfaces.
- A-Arm and Ball Joint Design — The RC10 Stealth featured an A-Arm and ball joint suspension design that permitted static camber, camber rise, caster, ride height and spring rate tuning to suit every type of track condition, and these arms preserve that capability.
- Wear and Tear Replacement — Front suspension arms are subject to regular stress and impact during racing and driving, making these spares essential for ongoing maintenance of your vintage RC buggy.
- Long-Arm Independent Suspension Compatibility — Part of the RC10 Stealth's full race-tuned suspension system with long-arm independent suspension geometry, these arms work with hard anodised coil-over shocks to smooth out bumps and deliver consistent grip.
Technical Performance
The RC10 '91 Stealth was engineered to the highest standards of 1/10 scale off-road RC racing competition. The suspension system featured a carefully tuned geometry with adjustable camber links and race-optimised shock packages that allowed drivers like Masami Hirosaka to dial in exceptional grip and stability throughout racing events. The front suspension arms work as part of a long-arm independent suspension design, paired with hard anodised coil-over shocks featuring carbon fibre components and titanium turnbuckles for durability and performance. The A-Arm and ball joint design permits multiple tuning parameters including static camber, camber rise, caster, ride height and spring rate adjustment, making the platform adaptable to different track surfaces and racing conditions. The RC10 Stealth transmission was mounted low in the chassis profile, protected by an integrated motor heat sink, allowing a lower centre of gravity and more predictable handling dynamics. These front suspension arms are machined to precise tolerances and work with the rest of the suspension system—which includes hard anodised shock bodies, black anodised shock caps with ball bearings, and long stroke shock springs—to deliver the consistent, predictable performance expected from a world championship-winning platform.

When buying spares for vintage RC cars, genuine components ensure perfect fit and maintain the engineering integrity of your platform.
- What is the RC10 '91 Stealth Car and why is it famous? — The RC10 '91 Stealth was the legendary 1/10 scale off-road buggy that won the 1991 IFMAR World Championship in Detroit, Michigan, driven by Masami Hirosaka, widely regarded as the greatest RC racer of all time with 14 IFMAR World Championship titles. It featured a double deck chassis, the innovative Stealth transmission, and carefully tuned suspension geometry that made it a benchmark for RC racing excellence.
- How do I know if my RC10 needs new front suspension arms? — Front suspension arms can bend, crack or wear from the stress of racing and driving, particularly when running on rough or rocky terrain. If you notice your RC10's handling has become inconsistent, if the arms have visible damage, or if you're doing a complete restoration, replacement arms are essential to restore the car's original handling characteristics.
- What suspension tuning is possible with these arms? — The A-Arm and ball joint design of the RC10 '91 Stealth allows adjustment of static camber, camber rise, caster, ride height and spring rate.

- What is included with these suspension arms? — The AS6778 part includes the front suspension arms only. You will need to have an existing RC10 '91 Stealth Car platform and should refer to your model's instruction manual for correct installation procedure and any additional components required for assembly.
