Overview

The Team Associated RC10T7 FT Rear Suspension Arms in carbon fibre represent a premium replacement component for your RC10T7 off-road truck platform. These Factory Team (FT) grade parts are precision-moulded from durable carbon material, delivering the exact geometry and performance characteristics required to maintain the exceptional handling characteristics that have made the RC10T7 one of the most competitive 1/10 scale electric RC trucks available in the UK. Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to refresh your setup or a dedicated weekend racer maintaining your vehicle between events, these rear suspension arms are an essential spare part that ensures your truck performs at its absolute best.

Based on Team Associated's legendary RC10B7 platform, the RC10T7 represents the next evolution of off-road truck performance, incorporating advanced engineering focused on lowering the centre of gravity, enhancing durability, and delivering the same exceptional adjustability that makes Team Associated vehicles the choice of champions and professional RC racing teams worldwide. The rear suspension arms play a critical role in this design philosophy, working in concert with the innovative gull wing long-arm suspension geometry to improve grip, predictability, and cornering performance across all track conditions—from high-grip indoor carpet racing to medium-grip dirt surfaces and large glued competition layouts.

RC Model Shop is proud to stock these authentic Team Associated FT components, ensuring UK-based RC enthusiasts have access to genuine factory team parts that deliver consistent performance and reliability. If you're serious about competitive RC truck racing in the UK, or simply want to maintain your RC10T7 in peak condition, these carbon rear suspension arms are an investment in precision, durability, and authentic Team Associated engineering excellence.

Key Features

• Factory Team (FT) Grade Construction — These arms are manufactured to Team Associated's premium Factory Team specifications, ensuring superior precision moulding and consistent geometry compared to standard parts, which directly translates to more predictable handling and improved race performance.
• Carbon Fibre Material — The carbon construction offers an optimal balance of strength and lightweight performance, reducing unsprung weight at the rear suspension while maintaining the rigidity required for accurate suspension alignment and responsive handling characteristics during aggressive cornering and acceleration phases.
• Gull Wing Long-Arm Suspension Compatibility — These rear arms are engineered to work seamlessly with the RC10T7's innovative gull wing long-arm suspension design, which is specifically developed to improve grip and predictability across all racing conditions, from indoor carpet venues to outdoor dirt tracks.
• Precise Geometry Design — The arms are moulded to exact specifications that support the RC10T7's lowered centre of gravity design philosophy, contributing to improved stability, reduced body roll, and enhanced cornering precision that competitive RC truck racing demands.
• Routine Maintenance and Replacement — As a high-wear suspension component subject to impacts, landings, and lateral forces during racing, these arms provide straightforward replacement capability for damaged or worn units, allowing you to maintain consistent suspension geometry throughout extended racing seasons.
• Compatible with RC10B7 Platform Features — The RC10T7 shares key components with the Team Associated RC10B7 buggy platform, making it easier to run multiple classes simultaneously and providing access to a comprehensive ecosystem of optional parts and upgrades for suspension tuning.

Technical Performance

The RC10T7 FT Rear Suspension Arms represent the culmination of Team Associated's engineering expertise in off-road truck suspension design. Working as part of the RC10T7's complete suspension package, which includes 31mm long 13mm big-bore shock bodies with TiN gold 3x29mm shock shafts, these rear arms contribute to the vehicle's exceptional handling characteristics. The RC10T7 platform features a truck-specific design evolution based on the proven RC10B7 buggy platform, incorporating a new three-gear laydown transmission specifically designed to reduce drag and transfer maximum power to the larger truck tyres, whilst also reducing heat generation and providing responsive power delivery ideal for competitive spec racing. The suspension geometry utilises the new updated B7 V2 caster block for added stiffness and zero KPI steering blocks with 3mm and 4mm trail options, allowing drivers to fine-tune the front-end feel and performance characteristics to match their driving style and track conditions. The aluminium front bulkhead and steel hinge pin brace included in the front-end design work in conjunction with the rear suspension to provide a comprehensive structural framework that resists flex and maintains consistent geometry even during aggressive racing. Included anti-roll bars front and rear, featuring an accessible design based on the proven RC10B7 chassis, allow for fine tuning of roll stiffness to optimise cornering grip and stability. The carbon rear suspension arms, when paired with the complete suspension package, help achieve the low centre of gravity design goal that Team Associated prioritised in the RC10T7's development, resulting in improved handling balance and predictability across high-grip indoor carpet, medium-grip dirt, and other competitive racing surfaces.

What You Need to Complete

These are replacement suspension arms only. If you are building a complete RC10T7 from the Team Kit, you will require additional components including: a motor, battery pack (LiPo recommended), electronic speed controller (ESC), servo, receiver, paint, Lexan body, tyres, and a radio system. If you are purchasing these arms as spare components for existing maintenance or repair, you may already have all necessary components in your current RC10T7 setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these arms suitable as spare parts for my RC10T7? — Yes, these Team Associated FT Rear Suspension Arms are specifically designed as replacement components for the RC10T7 platform. They are ideal for maintaining accurate suspension alignment during routine maintenance or replacing worn components after extended racing use.
• What makes Factory Team (FT) parts different from standard Associated parts? — Factory Team parts are manufactured to premium specifications with tighter tolerances and superior precision moulding, ensuring more consistent geometry and performance characteristics. For competitive racers, FT components deliver the enhanced reliability and precision that can make the difference at the track.
• Can I use these with my RC10B7 buggy? — No, these are specifically designed for the RC10T7 truck platform. However, the RC10T7 shares many compatible components with the RC10B7, so some other parts are interchangeable between these two platforms.
• How often should I replace my suspension arms? — Suspension arms are high-wear components that experience significant impacts and lateral forces during racing. Inspect them regularly for cracks or wear, particularly after crashes or rough racing sessions. High-level competitors often replace them seasonally or when visible damage occurs.
• Will these improve my RC truck's performance? — These arms maintain the precise suspension geometry required for optimal performance. If your existing arms are damaged or worn, replacing them with fresh Factory Team components will restore consistent handling characteristics and predictability. They are not an upgrade to improve performance beyond the RC10T7's standard specification.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — These are replacement spare parts rather than a complete vehicle, so they are intended for existing RC10T7 owners who need to maintain or repair their trucks. Beginners starting with RC for the first time would need to purchase a complete RC10T7 Team Kit or Ready to Run option first.
• What material are these arms made from? — These rear suspension arms are moulded from carbon fibre, which provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing unsprung weight whilst maintaining the rigidity required for precise suspension geometry and responsive handling during competitive racing.
