Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated Manufacturing — These are original equipment suspension arms manufactured by Team Associated themselves, ensuring they meet exact factory specifications and engineering standards for perfect fitment and performance on your T6.1 or SC6.1 platform.
- Hard Compound Specification — The Hard option delivers a stiffer suspension response, which means your vehicle will have reduced compliance through the suspension geometry, leading to more direct handling characteristics, sharper cornering feel, and improved feedback from the track surface during competitive racing.
- Rear Suspension Application — Specifically engineered for rear-axle suspension duty on the T6.1 and SC6.1 platforms, these arms are designed to work in perfect harmony with the rest of your chassis's suspension geometry and linkage components.
- Direct Replacement Option — If your existing suspension arms have suffered damage from crashes, worn bushings, or general use, the AS71106 provides a genuine factory replacement that restores your vehicle to original specifications without requiring modifications or adjustments to other chassis components.
- Competition-Grade Quality — Built to the same specifications used in professional RC racing, these suspension arms maintain dimensional tolerances that serious competitors rely on for consistent, predictable handling across multiple race sessions.
- Easy Installation — As original equipment parts designed specifically for the T6.1 and SC6.1, installation is straightforward with no modification required, making them ideal for quick mid-race maintenance or regular component refresh cycles.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated T6.1/SC6.1 rear suspension arms represent precision engineering in RC suspension component design. Built from durable materials selected for their strength-to-weight ratio and dimensional stability, these arms maintain the exact geometry required for optimal handling on both indoor and outdoor racing surfaces across the UK. The Hard compound specification means these arms offer reduced flex compared to softer alternatives, which translates to more consistent steering response, improved cornering predictability, and better driver feedback during aggressive driving or high-speed runs. The engineering precision demanded by Team Associated's reputation ensures that these suspension arms work in perfect concert with the rest of your T6.1 or SC6.1 chassis's suspension system, maintaining the suspension geometry and anti-roll bar effectiveness that modern competitive RC buggies and short course trucks demand. Whether you're running on carpet, clay, or asphalt tracks, or bashing over rough terrain during recreational sessions, these suspension arms are engineered to handle the demands of RC driving at any level.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these suspension arms compatible with both the T6.1 and SC6.1? — Yes, the AS71106 is specifically designed for both the Team Associated RC10T6.1 and RC10SC6.1 platforms for rear suspension use. The T6.1 is a high-performance 1/10 scale 2WD RC buggy, while the SC6.1 is the short course truck variant, and both share compatible rear suspension geometry, making these arms a perfect fit for either vehicle.
- What does the Hard specification mean for my RC car's handling? — The Hard compound specification indicates a stiffer suspension arm with reduced flex compared to softer options. This means your vehicle will have less compliance in the suspension linkage, resulting in more direct handling response, sharper cornering feedback, and improved consistency during competitive racing sessions. If you prefer a more responsive, lively feel compared to a softer, more forgiving suspension setup, Hard is an excellent choice.
- Do I need any other parts to install these suspension arms? — The AS71106 suspension arms are direct replacement components, so you can typically install them directly into your existing T6.1 or SC6.1 chassis where your previous arms were located. If your existing arms suffered damage, you may want to inspect associated suspension bushings and pivot points while you have the arms off, as these can wear over time with regular racing and bashing.
- Will these improve my RC buggy or short course truck's performance? — If you're replacing worn or damaged suspension arms, these genuine components will restore your vehicle to original factory performance specifications. If you're switching from a softer suspension arm option, the Hard specification will make your handling feel more responsive and direct, which many competitive drivers prefer for technical, tight tracks or high-speed, open courses.
- How often should I replace my suspension arms on my RC car? — Suspension arms typically last through many racing seasons under normal use, but crashes, impacts with obstacles, or general wear on bushing points can necessitate replacement. Regularly inspect your arms for cracks, bends, or play in the pivot points. If you notice your vehicle's handling has become unpredictable or loose, replacement arms are often the solution.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst the AS71106 are precision racing components, any RC enthusiast can benefit from understanding and maintaining their vehicle's suspension. However, these are replacement parts rather than beginner-friendly ready-to-run products. They're ideal for anyone already familiar with their T6.1 or SC6.1 who wants to maintain or upgrade their setup, or for experienced drivers looking to dial in their suspension specification.
