Key Features
- Genuine Factory Team Component — These bellcranks are authentic Team Associated Factory Team parts, ensuring compatibility and quality standards that match the original equipment in your RC10B6.4. Using genuine parts guarantees your steering system functions as the engineers intended, maintaining predictable handling and response.
- Blue Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from high-grade aluminium in the signature Factory Team blue finish, these bellcranks provide excellent strength-to-weight ratio whilst maintaining the aesthetic consistency of your buggy's premium parts package. The aluminium material resists corrosion and maintains dimensional accuracy through repeated use.
- Adjustable Height Design — Part of the RC10B6.4's advanced adjustable height steering bellcrank and rack system, these components allow you to optimise bumpsteer at all ride heights and caster angles. This adjustability is crucial for fine-tuning your buggy's handling on different track surfaces and conditions, whether you're running high-grip carpet or competitive clay circuits.
- Precision Engineering for Smooth Steering — The RC10B6.4 steering system incorporates new -1mm kingpin offset steering and caster block geometry that works in harmony with these bellcranks to provide smoother and more predictable steering throughout the entire wheel throw. This engineering reduces kickback and dead zones, giving you confidence at high speeds.
- Optimised for High-Speed Performance — The bellcrank assembly is part of the chassis and front end optimisation specifically designed for reduced caster and kickup, which excels on high-speed, high-grip surfaces. Whether you're racing on carpet tracks or competing indoors, these parts support the performance characteristics Team Associated has engineered into the B6.4 platform.
- Easy Maintenance Part — As a straightforward replacement component, these bellcranks are simple to install and maintain, making them ideal for keeping your steering system in peak condition. Having spare genuine parts on hand ensures you can quickly get back to racing if you experience any steering-related wear.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated RC10B6.4 FT Steering Bellcranks represent the cutting edge of 1:10 scale buggy steering technology. The RC10B6.4 platform was engineered with specific goals: improving jumping and landing characteristics, updating the steering feel for easier high-speed driving, and enhancing cornering performance on high-grip carpet and clay surfaces. The steering bellcranks are a critical component in achieving these goals, working alongside the adjustable height rack system to allow racers to minimise bumpsteer at all ride heights and caster angles. The new -1mm kingpin offset steering and caster blocks that work with these bellcranks push the steering pivot closer to the centre of the front tyre, keeping the front end flat through the entire steering throw for smooth and predictable handling. The aluminium construction provides the precision and durability required for competitive racing, where repeated impacts and steering inputs demand reliable performance. These parts are compatible with the RC10B6.4's optimised chassis layout, updated front-end geometry, and selection of bulkheads (20°, 22.5°, and 25°) that come with the full kit, allowing you to fine-tune your steering geometry precisely. Whether you're running at indoor carpet championships or outdoor high-grip clay tracks, these bellcranks perform consistently and deliver the responsive steering feel that Team Associated engineers have tuned into the B6.4 platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these steering bellcranks compatible with my RC10B6.4 buggy? — Yes, these bellcranks are specifically designed for the Team Associated RC10B6.4 and are part of the Factory Team parts range for this model. The part number AS91983 helps ensure you're selecting the correct component when referencing your kit manual or parts lists. These are standard parts for the RC10B6.4 steering system.
- What is the purpose of the adjustable height steering bellcrank system? — The adjustable height design allows you to fine-tune bumpsteer at all ride heights and caster angles. Bumpsteer refers to unintended steering input caused by suspension movement, and minimising it is crucial for predictable, controlled handling. By adjusting the bellcrank height, you can optimise your steering response for different track surfaces and setups, making your RC10B6.4 more responsive and easier to drive fast.
- Why choose blue aluminium bellcranks over other options? — The blue aluminium finish is part of Team Associated's Factory Team premium component line, combining excellent durability with lightweight construction. Aluminium resists corrosion and maintains dimensional accuracy, whilst the Factory Team finish ensures these parts match other premium components in your racing setup. Using genuine Factory Team parts maintains the engineering integrity and aesthetic consistency of your buggy.
- Can I use these bellcranks on other RC10 models? — The retailer page lists compatibility with the RC10B6.4 as the primary model. Whilst Team Associated has designed many RC10 variants (including the B6.3, B6.2, and others), each model may have specific steering geometry requirements. For use with other models, consult your kit manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm fitment compatibility.
- How do these bellcranks improve steering feel? — These bellcranks work as part of the complete RC10B6.4 steering system, which includes the -1mm kingpin offset steering and updated caster blocks. Together, these components push the steering pivot closer to the centre of the front tyre, eliminating dead zones and providing flat steering geometry through the entire wheel throw. The result is smooth, predictable steering response that makes the buggy easier to drive fast, whether you're on carpet or dirt.
- What maintenance do these bellcranks require? — As passive steering linkage components, the bellcranks themselves require minimal maintenance beyond regular inspection for wear or damage. Ensure the steering assembly is kept clean and free from dirt and debris. If you notice any unusual steering behaviour or increased friction in the system, check that all steering connections are secure and that the bellcranks are not bent or damaged.
