Overview
The Associated CVA/Wheel Hex Pin (AS91436) is an essential maintenance spare for owners of Team Associated RC10 series buggies and trucks. This pack of four replacement pins is designed to keep your RC car running smoothly and reliably, whether you're competing at the track or enjoying casual weekend bashing. These hex pins are critical components that connect the rear CVA axle to the CVA bone and secure the wheel hexes on both front and rear axles, making them one of those small but vital parts that every serious RC enthusiast should have on hand.
If you own a Team Associated RC10B5, RC10B5M, RC10B6, RC10B6.1, RC10B64 or any of the many other compatible models in the RC10 family, having spare CVA wheel hex pins is simply good practice. Parts wear out during regular use, and having quality replacements ready means you won't miss valuable track time or have your fun cut short during a day out with your RC car UK crew. The quality and reliability of Team Associated parts are recognised worldwide, and these hex pins maintain that same high standard that makes Team Associated a trusted name in the RC hobby.
Whether you're a seasoned competitor running your RC buggy or truck at the track, a weekend basher enjoying off-road adventures, or someone discovering the world of RC for the first time, maintaining your vehicle with genuine Team Associated spares ensures optimal performance and longevity. This is the kind of consumable spare that every RC racer needs to keep in their pit box.

Technical Performance
The Associated CVA/Wheel Hex Pins represent the engineering excellence that Team Associated is famous for throughout the global RC community. These small but crucial components are manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure they perform their function reliably under the stresses of modern RC racing and recreational driving. The pins serve a dual critical function: they secure the CVA axle assembly together by connecting the rear CVA axle to the CVA bone, and they lock the wheel hexes in place on both the front and rear axles. This dual function means that any wear or looseness in these pins can directly impact both drivetrain integrity and wheel alignment, two factors that significantly affect handling, speed and overall performance of your RC10 series buggy or truck. The engineering design of these pins ensures they maintain their grip and prevent the kind of play that can cause uneven tyre wear, wheel wobble and loss of precision handling. Whether you're driving on carpet, asphalt, dirt or grass, whether you're pushing your RC car to high speeds on a packed track or tackling rough terrain, these hex pins must perform flawlessly. The material specification and manufacturing process used by Team Associated ensures these pins withstand the constant acceleration, deceleration, cornering forces and impacts that RC10 series vehicles experience during competitive racing and recreational use. Keeping spare pins on hand as part of your maintenance routine is a smart investment that will keep your RC car in peak condition and extend the lifespan of your axles and wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What do CVA/Wheel Hex Pins do on my RC10 buggy or truck? — These pins serve two important functions on your RC car. First, they connect the rear CVA axle to the CVA bone, securing the rear drivetrain assembly together. Second, they lock the wheel hexes in place on both the front and rear axles, ensuring your wheels stay perfectly centred and don't move or rock side to side during driving. Any looseness in these pins can cause wheel wobble, alignment issues and poor handling.
- How often should I replace these hex pins? — The frequency of replacement depends on how much you use your RC car and how aggressively you drive it. Competitive racers who run their cars daily should inspect these pins regularly and replace them every few months as part of routine maintenance. Weekend bashers who use their cars occasionally can typically go longer between replacements, but it's wise to keep spare pins on hand and replace them whenever you notice any signs of wear or if your wheels develop a slight rock or wobble.
- Will these pins fit my specific RC10 model? — Team Associated has made many variations of the RC10 chassis over the years. These CVA/Wheel Hex Pins are compatible with the wide range of models including B5, B5M, B6, B6.1, B64, B7, B74, B84 and T-series models, as well as truck variants like the SC and DR series. However, if you own a specific model not listed in the compatibility section, we recommend contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm fitment before ordering.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, the AS91436 is the official Team Associated part number for CVA/Wheel Hex Pins. This is the genuine OEM component manufactured to Team Associated's exact specifications, not an aftermarket copy or substitute. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fit, reliable performance and compatibility with your RC buggy or truck.
- Can I use these pins as replacements for damaged axles? — No, these pins are not designed to replace damaged CVA axles or bones. They are securing pins only. If you have a bent or damaged axle component, you'll need to replace the axle itself. These pins are for securing working components together, not for replacing structural parts.
- Why should I keep spare pins in my pit box? — During active driving and racing, these pins experience constant stress from acceleration, deceleration, cornering and impact forces. Having spare pins on hand means that if one wears out or becomes loose during a day at the track, you can quickly replace it without losing valuable track time or having to pack up early. For competitive racers, spare pins are an essential pit box item.
