Technical Performance
The Team Associated B74 Rear Hub Hinge Pin AS92188 is a precision-engineered suspension component manufactured to exacting OEM specifications. This small but critical part plays a vital role in the rear hub assembly of your Team Associated B74 competition buggy, serving as the pivot point for hub carriers and allowing the suspension to function with precision and durability. Team Associated's engineering excellence is evident in every component of the B74 platform, from the chassis through to individual hardware like this hinge pin. The hinge pin must withstand significant lateral forces during cornering, vertical impacts during jumps and bumps, and the constant rotational movement of wheel bearings throughout your RC car's runtime. The material composition and manufacturing tolerances ensure the pin maintains its shape under racing conditions, preventing hub flex and maintaining the precise suspension geometry that makes the B74 such a competitive racing platform. Whether you're running your B74 as a serious competition buggy at local or national RC racing events, or enjoying recreational off-road driving, having genuine replacement parts on hand ensures you can perform rapid repairs and maintenance to keep your vehicle on the track or trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a hinge pin and why do I need to replace it? — The hinge pin is a small metal pin that serves as the pivot point in your rear hub assembly, allowing the suspension geometry to work correctly. Over time, especially during competitive racing or heavy use, hinge pins can become bent, worn or damaged. Replacing a damaged hinge pin restores proper suspension function and handling. Many RC car racers keep spare hinge pins on hand for quick repairs between races.
- Is this the correct part for my Team Associated B74? — Yes, the AS92188 is the genuine OEM hinge pin for the B74 rear hub assembly. However, Team Associated makes several B74 variants including the B74.1, B74.2, and B74.2D. Always refer to your vehicle manual to confirm this is the correct part number and location for your specific B74 model before ordering.
- How often should I replace my hinge pins? — Hinge pin replacement intervals depend on your usage. Competitive racers may replace them regularly as part of preventative maintenance, whilst casual users typically replace them only when damage is visible or handling issues develop. Inspect your hinge pins regularly by removing the hub carrier – if they're bent, cracked, or showing wear, replacement is recommended.
- Can I use this part on other Team Associated models? — This specific hinge pin (AS92188) is designed for the B74 rear hub assembly. Whilst Team Associated manufactures similar hinge pins for other models including the B6.2D, B6.2, B6.3, B6.4D, B6.4, B74.1, B74.2, B74.2D, T6.2, T6.4, B7, B7D, B84, T7, SC7 and RC10T84, you should use the part number specific to your model to ensure correct fit and function.
- What tools do I need to replace the hinge pin? — Hinge pin replacement typically requires basic RC maintenance tools including a hex driver set and possibly a small punch or drift to push out the old pin. Refer to your B74 manual for detailed installation instructions specific to your model.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a genuine spare part rather than a complete RC car, so it's intended for RC enthusiasts who already own and maintain a Team Associated B74. Hinge pin replacement is a moderately advanced maintenance task – beginners should consult their vehicle manual or contact our knowledgeable RC Model Shop team for guidance.
