Overview
The Associated AS91722 B6/B6.1/B64/B74 Ballcups are genuine OEM spare parts designed for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive racers who demand reliability and consistent performance from their RC buggies. Whether you're running a B6, B6D, B6.1, B64 or B74 platform, these ballcups are essential maintenance components that keep your suspension operating smoothly and predictably on the track. As genuine Associated parts, they guarantee perfect fitment and compatibility with your RC car, eliminating any guesswork when ordering spares for your pit box.
Ballcups are critical suspension components that connect your suspension arms to the chassis, allowing smooth articulation whilst maintaining structural integrity under cornering forces and landing impacts. Over time, these components wear down through normal use, leading to looseness, unpredictable handling, and potential damage to other suspension parts. Keeping a spare set of AS91722 ballcups in your pit box means you can quickly swap out worn components and maintain consistent operation throughout a racing session or weekend of bashing. This is why every serious RC car UK enthusiast should stock genuine OEM ballcups for their platform.
The clear AS91722 part number helps ensure you select the correct ballcups for your platform, preventing costly installation errors and compatibility issues. As an authorised Associated distributor, RC Model Shop stocks these genuine spares so you can focus on driving rather than tracking down hard-to-find parts.

Technical Performance
Ballcups are precision-engineered suspension connectors that play a fundamental role in buggy geometry and handling characteristics. As wear-resistant components subject to constant stress during acceleration, braking, cornering and landing impacts, OEM quality is essential to maintain the tight tolerances and smooth operation your Associated B6, B6.1, B64 or B74 demands. The AS91722 ballcups maintain proper suspension arm positioning and alignment, directly influencing your RC car's responsiveness to steering inputs, traction characteristics on different track surfaces, and stability when landing jumps. Unlike cheap aftermarket alternatives that loosen quickly, genuine Associated ballcups maintain their fit and function throughout extended racing sessions. The engineering precision in these components ensures that suspension geometry remains consistent, preventing the handling drift that occurs when worn ballcups allow excess play in the suspension linkage. Whether you're racing competitively on circuit tracks or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, the consistent performance of quality ballcups translates directly into confidence and control.
