Key Features
- Genuine OEM Components — These are authentic factory-manufactured parts from Team Associated, ensuring they meet exact specifications and quality standards that match the original equipment on your buggy, giving you complete confidence in compatibility and performance.
- Wide Model Compatibility — The AS91682 front axles fit a comprehensive range of Associated B6 series models including the B6, B6D, B6.1, B6.1D, B6.2, B6.2D, B6.1DL, B6.3, B6.4 and B6.4D, making these spares suitable whether you run the original platform or the newer competition variants.
- Straightforward Replacement — Installation is simple and requires only basic tools and mechanical knowledge, allowing you to get your buggy back on the track quickly without needing specialist repairs or professional servicing.
- Essential Spare Parts — Front axles are subjected to significant stress during racing and off-road driving, so having genuine replacements available ensures you're prepared for impact damage or normal wear and tear that occurs with regular use.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance — Keeping spares on hand means you can perform repairs immediately rather than waiting for delivery, minimising downtime and allowing you to maximise your driving time during events or practice sessions.

Technical Performance
The Associated B6/B6.1 Front Axles AS91682 represent the engineering excellence that Team Associated has built into their 1/10 scale buggy platform. These axles form a critical part of the front suspension and steering geometry, directly affecting how your RC buggy handles, turns and responds to input from your transmitter. The front axles must withstand considerable lateral forces during cornering, impact loads when landing jumps, and constant flexing during normal operation on rough terrain. By choosing genuine Associated components, you ensure that your buggy maintains the precise suspension geometry and performance characteristics that were specified by the design engineers. Front axles are subject to regular wear and tear through normal use, and maintaining a supply of spares means you can keep your competitive edge by always running with fresh components rather than operating with worn parts that gradually degrade handling. Whether you're preparing for club races, regional championships, or casual weekend bashing sessions, having the correct genuine spares available is fundamental to keeping your RC car UK setup at peak performance levels.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
