Overview
The Team Associated B64 Aluminium Caster Blocks, 7 Degree (AS92028) are essential upgrade components for owners of the renowned Associated B64 1/10 scale 4WD buggy platform. These precision-engineered front hub components represent a crucial tuning element for serious RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand consistent handling and corner entry/exit control. Whether you're a competitive racer, weekend basher, or dedicated hobbyist, these caster blocks allow you to optimise your vehicle's suspension geometry for maximum performance in your specific driving conditions.
Caster angle is one of the most important suspension geometry settings on any 1/10 scale 4WD RC buggy, and the B64 platform offers multiple options to suit different track conditions and driving styles. The 7-degree specification featured in this part (AS92028) is specifically designed to keep your RC car flatter during cornering, making it the ideal choice for smooth surfaces and high-grip track conditions where stability and predictable handling are paramount. If you're running your RC buggy on pristine, well-maintained asphalt or high-traction surfaces, these 7-degree blocks will provide the low-angle geometry your vehicle needs to excel.
Available exclusively through authorised RC retailers like RC Model Shop, these genuine Team Associated components are manufactured to the exact specifications required by the B64 family of vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance season after season.
Key Features
- Black Aluminium Construction — These caster blocks are manufactured from high-quality aluminium with a professional black anodised finish, providing excellent durability, lightweight properties, and resistance to corrosion from typical RC use, track chemicals, and outdoor conditions.
- 7-Degree Caster Angle Specification — The 7-degree angle keeps your B64 buggy flatter during cornering manoeuvres, which is essential for maintaining traction and stability on smooth, high-grip surfaces where less aggressive suspension geometry delivers superior handling characteristics.
- Precision Front Hub Geometry — Caster angle directly affects how your vehicle enters and exits corners, and these blocks allow you to dial in the exact front-end geometry your driving style and track conditions demand, giving you granular control over suspension setup.
- Smooth, Flat-Handling Characteristics — When paired with smooth track surfaces and high-grip conditions, the 7-degree blocks deliver predictable, flat cornering behaviour that minimises body roll and maximises confidence during high-speed passes.
- Routine Maintenance and Wear Replacement — These blocks are the perfect replacement item for worn front hub components, allowing you to restore your B64 to factory specifications or upgrade from your current caster angle to fine-tune handling.
- Compatible with B64 Platform Family — Designed specifically for the RC10B64, RC10B64 Club Racer, and RC10B64D models, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability without modification or adaptation.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated B64 Aluminium Caster Blocks represent the pinnacle of suspension geometry tuning for 1/10 scale 4WD buggies. Manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminium, these components deliver lightweight construction without sacrificing rigidity or precision. The 7-degree caster angle specification places these blocks in the lower-angle category of the B64's tuning range, positioning them as the optimal choice for smooth, high-grip surfaces where vehicles benefit from flatter suspension geometry. Caster angle influences several critical aspects of vehicle performance: it affects how aggressively the vehicle dives under braking, how naturally the front end tracks during cornering, and how the vehicle exits turns under acceleration. With a 7-degree setup, drivers experience a flatter, more stable platform that resists excessive body roll and delivers predictable steering inputs. For comparison, the B64 platform offers alternative options including 10-degree blocks (AS92029) for smooth, neutral feel across varied conditions, and 13-degree blocks (AS92030) for bumpy or lower-grip surfaces where a more active suspension response is beneficial. The black anodised aluminium finish not only provides a professional appearance but also offers superior corrosion resistance compared to bare metal, ensuring these components maintain their precision fit and performance characteristics throughout multiple seasons of competitive racing or recreational bashing. Each package contains two caster blocks—one for each front hub—allowing complete front geometry adjustment on your B64 vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does caster angle mean in RC cars, and why does it matter? — Caster angle refers to the angle of the steering axis at the front hub, measured in degrees. It directly affects how your RC buggy handles during cornering, braking, and acceleration. A lower caster angle (like the 7 degrees in this product) keeps the vehicle flatter and more stable on smooth, high-grip surfaces, whilst higher angles make the suspension more responsive on bumpy or lower-grip tracks. Selecting the correct caster angle is one of the most effective tuning adjustments you can make to your 1/10 scale 4WD buggy.
- Are these caster blocks suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst caster angle is an advanced tuning parameter, these blocks are simply replacement components that bolt directly onto your B64. If your vehicle already came with caster blocks, swapping them is straightforward. However, beginners should note that understanding how caster angle affects handling does require some learning. If you're new to RC tuning, we recommend experimenting with different caster angles to discover how they influence your vehicle's behaviour on your local track or bashing area.
- Can I use these blocks on other RC vehicles? — These blocks are specifically engineered for the Team Associated B64 platform family, including the RC10B64, RC10B64 Club Racer, and RC10B64D. They will not fit other manufacturers' buggies or even other Associated models without modification. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing.
- What is the difference between the 7-degree, 10-degree, and 13-degree options? — The Team Associated B64 platform offers three caster angle options to suit different driving conditions. The 7-degree blocks (this product) are designed for smooth, high-grip surfaces and deliver a flatter, more stable handling character. The 10-degree blocks (AS92029) offer a smooth, neutral feel suitable for varied conditions and are considered a middle-ground setup. The 13-degree blocks (AS92030) feature a more active suspension response and are recommended for bumpy terrain or lower-grip surfaces where the vehicle benefits from increased front-end geometry sensitivity. Your choice depends entirely on your local track conditions and preferred driving style.
- How often should I replace my caster blocks? — Caster blocks are durable aluminium components that typically last many seasons with normal use. You should inspect them regularly for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace them immediately if you notice any visible damage, or if the mounting holes have become stripped or enlarged. If you're racing competitively, consider replacing them annually as part of preventative maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
- Do I need any special tools to install these blocks? — Installation typically requires standard RC tools including hex wrenches and possibly a small screwdriver, depending on how your B64 is configured. The blocks bolt directly to your front hubs using existing mounting points. If you're unfamiliar with your B64's assembly, we recommend consulting the official Team Associated manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop for installation guidance.
