AS92285

Overview

The Team Associated FT Octalock LCF Slipper Pad 11mm (AS92285) is an essential genuine replacement component designed specifically for Team Associated RC vehicles that utilise the Octalock spur gear interface. Whether you're a serious competitor running a championship-winning RC buggy or an enthusiast enjoying weekend bashers, maintaining your RC car's drivetrain with genuine factory parts is crucial for consistent performance and reliability. This authentic Team Associated Factory Team slipper pad ensures your RC car UK setup maintains smooth, predictable power delivery and optimal clutch engagement.

Slipper pads are critical drivetrain components that allow controlled slippage between the spur gear and clutch bell, protecting your RC vehicle's gearbox and other drivetrain components from catastrophic damage during sudden impacts or shock loads. The LCF (Low Clutch Friction) variant of this slipper pad has been engineered to provide the precise balance of friction characteristics needed for vehicles equipped with Octalock spur gears, delivering consistent performance across various racing conditions and terrain types.

This is the genuine B74.1 kit replacement pad from Team Associated's Factory Team range, manufactured to exacting standards using proven engineering principles. If you're seeking to maintain your RC off-road buggy or race truck at peak performance, or if you're replacing a worn slipper pad on your existing vehicle, this authentic Team Associated component is the smart choice for reliability and compatibility.

Key Features

• Genuine Team Associated Factory Team Component — This is an authentic replacement part manufactured by Team Associated, ensuring it meets the exact specifications and quality standards set by the engineers who designed your RC vehicle, giving you complete confidence in compatibility and performance.
• Octalock Interface Compatibility — Engineered specifically for use with Octalock spur gears, this slipper pad integrates seamlessly with the Octalock interface system, which is found on many modern Team Associated RC buggies and trucks, ensuring precise fitment and optimal engagement characteristics.
• LCF (Low Clutch Friction) Design — The LCF specification provides carefully calibrated friction characteristics that allow controlled slippage under load, protecting your RC car's transmission and drivetrain components from damage whilst maintaining predictable handling and consistent power delivery.
• 11mm Pad Size — The 11mm dimension refers to the critical engagement diameter of the pad, which must match your vehicle's spur gear assembly precisely to function correctly and deliver the performance characteristics your RC car was engineered for.
• B74.1 Kit Replacement — This component is the direct replacement pad supplied in Team Associated RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D kits, making it the original equipment option for owners of these vehicles or anyone seeking to return to factory specifications.
• Wears Over Time — Replaceable Consumable — Like all slipper pads in RC vehicles, this component gradually wears with use, which is why Team Associated manufactures it as a readily available spare part, allowing you to maintain consistent performance throughout your RC car's service life.

Technical Performance

The Team Associated FT Octalock LCF Slipper Pad is engineered with precision-manufactured friction material bonded to a robust backing plate, designed to withstand the extreme forces generated during high-performance RC off-road racing and bashing. The LCF specification means this pad has been formulated with lower friction characteristics compared to standard slipper pads, making it particularly suitable for the Octalock spur gear system found on vehicles such as the RC10B74.1, RC10B74.1D, RC10B74.2, RC10B74.2D, RC10B7, RC10B7D, RC10B84, RC10B84 Classic, RC10B6.3, RC10B6.3D, RC10B6.4, RC10B6.4D, and DR10M. The 11mm pad size matches the engagement diameter of these vehicles' Octalock spur gears precisely. The engineering of this component directly impacts your RC car's ability to protect its transmission during high-speed runs, jumps and impacts, making it a critical maintenance item that should be inspected regularly and replaced when wear becomes apparent. Team Associated's Factory Team has refined the friction characteristics of this pad through competitive racing experience, ensuring it delivers the balance needed for both smooth acceleration and protective slippage when required.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a slipper pad and why do I need to replace it on my RC car? — A slipper pad is a friction material component in your RC vehicle's clutch system that controls how much power is transmitted from the motor to the wheels. When the wheels experience sudden shocks or resistance (such as landing hard from a jump or hitting an obstacle), the slipper pad allows controlled slippage that protects your transmission, gears and drivetrain from catastrophic damage. Over time, the friction material wears down through repeated use, which is why it needs periodic replacement to maintain consistent performance and protection. Team Associated manufactures this slipper pad as a readily available spare part, making maintenance straightforward.
• Is the Team Associated FT Octalock LCF Slipper Pad compatible with my RC vehicle? — This slipper pad is compatible with Team Associated RC vehicles equipped with Octalock spur gears, including the RC10B74.1, RC10B74.1D, RC10B74.2, RC10B74.2D, RC10B7, RC10B7D, RC10B84, RC10B84 Classic, RC10B6.3, RC10B6.3D, RC10B6.4, RC10B6.4D, and DR10M. Check your vehicle's manual or specifications to confirm it uses an Octalock spur gear system before purchasing. The Octalock interface is a specific design standard, and this pad will only work with Octalock-equipped vehicles.
• What is the difference between this LCF slipper pad and other Team Associated slipper pad options? — The LCF (Low Clutch Friction) specification of this slipper pad means it has been formulated with lower friction characteristics compared to standard slipper pads. This makes it particularly suitable for vehicles using the Octalock spur gear system. Team Associated also manufactures alternative options such as the #9611 Slipper Pads V2 and #91197 LCF Slipper Pads, which may offer different friction characteristics. If you use an Octalock spur gear, you have the flexibility to experiment with different pad options to dial in the exact clutch engagement feel that suits your driving style and racing conditions.
• How often should I replace the slipper pad on my RC car? — The frequency of replacement depends on how often you use your RC vehicle and the intensity of your driving. Competitive racing typically requires more frequent pad changes than casual weekend bashing. Inspect the pad regularly for wear and replace it when you notice the friction material becoming thin or worn smooth. Some racers change their slipper pads at the start of each season or competition event to ensure consistent performance.
• Is this a genuine Team Associated part? — Yes, this is a genuine Team Associated Factory Team component manufactured to the exact specifications set by Team Associated engineers. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you can be confident you are receiving an authentic part with full compatibility and performance guarantees.
