Key Features
- FT Titanium Construction — This top shaft screw is manufactured from titanium as part of Team Associated's FT (Frontier Technology) upgrade line, providing superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard steel fasteners, which means better durability and reduced rotating mass for improved performance on the track.
- Genuine Team Associated Part — As an official Team Associated component with part number AS91797, this screw is engineered to exact specifications for perfect fitment and compatibility with your SC/T/B6.1 platform, ensuring you're not compromising on quality with aftermarket alternatives.
- Top Shaft Positioned Design — Specifically engineered for the top shaft position within your RC vehicle's drivetrain, this screw plays a critical role in maintaining proper alignment and reliability during high-performance racing and aggressive bashing.
- Lightweight Performance Enhancement — Titanium's superior strength-to-weight characteristics mean this screw contributes to reducing unsprung weight in your RC buggy's drivetrain, potentially improving handling response and reducing energy loss during acceleration.
- Corrosion Resistance — Titanium naturally resists corrosion far better than standard steel, making this component ideal for RC enthusiasts who run their vehicles in wet conditions, muddy terrain, or coastal environments common across the UK.
- Compatible with Multiple Models — While designed primarily for the SC/T/B6.1 range, this FT titanium screw maintains compatibility with other Team Associated platforms including the B6.1, B6.1D, B6.1DL, B6.2, B6.2D, B6.3, B6.4, B6.4D, T6.1, T6.2, T6.4, RC10SC6.2 and SC6.4, giving you flexibility if you run multiple Associated vehicles.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated FT Titanium Top Shaft Screw represents the pinnacle of precision fastener engineering for competitive RC buggies. Manufactured from aerospace-grade titanium alloy, this component delivers exceptional strength whilst maintaining a weight footprint significantly lower than conventional steel alternatives. The titanium construction is particularly valuable in the top shaft position, where the component experiences constant rotational forces and stress cycles during high-speed cornering, acceleration and deceleration on track. The material selection reflects Team Associated's commitment to performance engineering, as titanium's superior fatigue resistance and elastic modulus ensure the screw maintains its integrity through thousands of hours of racing operation. For RC enthusiasts running their buggies at competition speeds or engaging in aggressive off-road bashing across British terrain, the reliability offered by this genuine Team Associated component cannot be overstated. The screw's precise manufacturing tolerances ensure it seats perfectly within your vehicle's drivetrain, eliminating any play or misalignment that could compromise handling characteristics or introduce vibration during operation. Whether you're replacing a worn original component or upgrading your entire top shaft assembly as part of a performance enhancement programme, this titanium screw represents genuine value for serious RC car UK competitors and dedicated hobbyists.
