Technical Performance
The AS7816 inline steering blocks represent Team Associated's commitment to precision engineering in RC car component design. These steering blocks are manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure consistent performance and durability throughout extended use. The 30-degree caster angle specification is a carefully calculated value that optimises the balance between steering response and directional stability, two crucial factors in RC car handling dynamics.

By maintaining the manufacturer-specified 30-degree angle, these blocks ensure your RC10GT performs with the stability and steering precision that Team Associated engineered into the platform. The robust construction of these steering blocks means they can withstand the significant stresses generated during competitive RC racing or spirited weekend bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the caster angle and why does it matter on my RC car? — Caster angle is the angle of the steering pivot point relative to vertical, and it directly affects how your RC car steers and maintains stability. A 30-degree caster angle, as provided by these AS7816 blocks, is the manufacturer-specified geometry for the RC10GT platform. This angle influences steering response, directional stability during cornering, and how much effort is required to turn the wheels. Using the correct caster angle ensures your RC car handles exactly as designed by Team Associated's engineers.
- Are these steering blocks compatible with my RC10GT? — Yes, the AS7816 is specifically engineered for the RC10GT platform and provides a perfect fit. These are genuine Team Associated parts bearing the official part number, guaranteeing complete compatibility with your RC10GT chassis, suspension, and steering linkages without any modification required.
- When should I replace my steering blocks? — Steering blocks are subject to constant stress during RC car operation and may wear or damage over time, especially if your RC car experiences impacts or aggressive handling. If you notice looseness in the steering, uneven handling, or if your steering blocks show visible cracks or damage, replacement is recommended to restore optimal steering precision and safety.
- Why should I choose genuine Team Associated parts? — Genuine Team Associated parts like the AS7816 are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured to the same standards used in competition RC racing. Using authentic manufacturer components ensures perfect fitment, optimal performance, and the longevity your RC investment deserves. Counterfeit or inferior aftermarket parts may fit poorly and compromise your RC car's handling and durability.
