Overview
The Associated B6D Kit Flat Front Arms (AS91671) are genuine Team Associated replacement front suspension arms designed for the B6D and B6.1 off-road buggies. These are essential spare parts for any RC enthusiast in the UK who runs a Team Associated B6-series buggy and wants to maintain peak performance through regular maintenance or repair. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your 1/10 scale RC buggy to its limits, or a dedicated hobbyist enjoying weekend bashing sessions, having quality spare suspension arms in your spares box is crucial for keeping your RC car on the track rather than in the workshop.
Front suspension geometry is absolutely critical to how your RC buggy handles, steers and performs on various terrain. Over time, the front arms can wear out, bend or sustain damage during aggressive driving, especially in competitive environments. The AS91671 Flat Front Arms are the genuine OEM parts manufactured to the exact specifications Team Associated designed for the B6D and B6.1 platforms, ensuring perfect fitment and maintaining your buggy's original handling characteristics. Keeping your front end geometry consistent after wear or damage is vital for maintaining dependable steering response and predictable cornering behaviour on your RC buggy.

As an authorised UK retailer of Team Associated products, we supply only authentic factory parts that guarantee compatibility and quality.

Technical Performance
The AS91671 Flat Front Arms are precision-engineered suspension components that play a fundamental role in the handling and performance of your Team Associated B6D or B6.1 1/10 scale off-road buggy. Constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the demanding forces experienced during both competitive racing and recreational bashing, these arms maintain the exact suspension geometry that Team Associated designed into these platforms. The flat arm design contributes to optimal weight distribution and suspension kinematics, ensuring consistent steering response across different driving conditions and track surfaces. Whether you're running on a technical race circuit with tight corners and jumps, or enjoying casual backyard bashing, having genuine OEM suspension arms ensures your buggy performs exactly as the engineers intended. The quality of these components directly impacts your buggy's ability to maintain traction, handle cornering loads, and deliver predictable steering inputs from your RC radio system. Regular inspection and replacement of worn suspension arms is considered best practice by competitive off-road RC racers across the UK and internationally, as worn geometry leads to handling degradation and increased tyre wear.

- How long do front suspension arms typically last? — This depends entirely on your driving intensity and style. Casual hobbyists might go several seasons before replacement, whilst competitive racers often replace them more frequently to maintain optimal geometry and handling. Racing teams typically check and replace suspension arms as part of regular maintenance schedules.
- What is the difference between flat arms and other suspension arm designs? — The flat arm design used in the B6D and B6.1 provides specific suspension kinematics optimised for these platforms.
