Overview

The Team Associated FT Octalock LCF Slipper Pad 19mm (AS92286) is a precision-engineered drivetrain component designed specifically for Team Associated's modern RC buggy and truck range. This specialist slipper pad is an essential upgrade for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliable, competition-grade performance from their vehicles. Whether you're running an RC10B6, RC10B7, RC10T6.4, RC10SC6.4 or any of the compatible Team Associated models listed below, this component delivers the durability and consistency that serious RC racers expect from genuine manufacturer parts.

Built to integrate seamlessly with Octalock spur gears, this 19mm slipper pad represents the latest evolution in Team Associated's drivetrain technology. The Octalock system provides a more compact and efficient design compared to older slipper pad standards, making it the preferred choice for modern RC car builds. This pad is manufactured to exacting tolerances and engineered to protect your drivetrain during high-stress racing conditions, preventing damage caused by excessive load or sudden impacts. If you're upgrading from an older RC car or building a new machine, understanding how this component works with your specific model is crucial for achieving optimal performance.

RC Model Shop stocks this genuine Team Associated part in the UK, ensuring you receive an authentic product with full compatibility guarantee. This is not an aftermarket substitute—it's the genuine OEM component that Team Associated engineers designed for your specific vehicle platform.

Key Features

• Octalock-Specific Design — This slipper pad is engineered exclusively for use with Octalock spur gears, which feature a more compact profile than earlier generation components. The Octalock system reduces overall drivetrain size whilst maintaining durability, which is essential for tight modern chassis designs used in competitive RC racing UK.
• 19mm Compact Size — The 19mm diameter specification ensures this pad fits perfectly within drivetrains designed for this standard, providing optimal load distribution and slip characteristics. This size is critical for maintaining the correct gear mesh and ensuring smooth power delivery to your wheels.
• LCF Material Composition — LCF stands for Low Coefficient Friction, meaning this pad is manufactured from a specially formulated compound that provides consistent slipping characteristics under load. This prevents catastrophic drivetrain failure and protects internal components like gears and bearings from damage during high-torque situations or sudden impacts common in off-road racing.
• Genuine Team Associated OEM Component — This is not a clone or aftermarket substitute. This is the exact part that Team Associated includes with new models and recommends for upgrades, ensuring 100% compatibility and performance as originally engineered.
• Wide Vehicle Compatibility — Compatible with the complete range of modern Team Associated RC10 series vehicles, including B6 series (B6, B6.3, B6.3D, B6.4, B6.4D), B7 series (B7, B7D), B74 series (B74.2, B74.2D), T6.4, T7, SC6.4, SC7 and DR10M platforms. This broad compatibility makes it an essential spare part for Team Associated enthusiasts.
• Easy Installation — Designed as a direct replacement component, installation requires no special tools or modification to your existing drivetrain, making maintenance and upgrades straightforward even for intermediate RC builders.
• Proven Performance in Competition — Team Associated parts are trusted by professional RC racing competitors worldwide. This slipper pad has been tested and proven in demanding racing environments, guaranteeing reliability when it matters most.

Technical Performance

The Team Associated FT Octalock LCF Slipper Pad represents advanced drivetrain engineering for 1/10 scale RC buggies and trucks. The slipper clutch mechanism works by allowing the main spur gear to slip relative to the main shaft when torque exceeds a predetermined threshold, protecting expensive internal drivetrain components from damage. The LCF (Low Coefficient Friction) material ensures this slipping occurs at consistent, predictable torque levels—critical for competitive racing where unpredictable drivetrain behaviour can cost races. The 19mm size has been optimised for modern Team Associated chassis designs that prioritise compact, efficient layouts without sacrificing robustness. The Octalock interface system uses eight tabs (which this pad incorporates) to provide secure positive engagement with compatible spur gears, eliminating slippage between the pad and gear itself. This means all slipping happens at the designed point within the slipper mechanism, not due to loose assembly. For users upgrading from older AS91197 LCF pads on Team Associated B6 series models, this pad requires removal of eight Octalock tabs from the older design—a five-minute modification that opens up compatibility with modern Octalock spur gears. The engineering quality ensures durability through countless racing cycles, practice sessions and weekend bashing, making this component a cost-effective long-term investment compared to repeatedly replacing damaged gears or bearings.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a slipper pad and why do I need one for my RC car? — A slipper pad is a friction-based clutch component that allows controlled slipping in your drivetrain when torque exceeds safe levels. Without a slipper pad, sudden impacts or power overload would transmit shock loads directly to internal gears and bearings, causing expensive breakages. The pad slips instead, dissipating energy harmlessly and protecting your investment. This is especially important in off-road RC racing UK where uneven terrain frequently causes sudden load spikes.
• Is the Team Associated FT Octalock LCF Slipper Pad suitable for both racing and casual bashing? — Yes, absolutely. Whether you're competing in formal RC racing events or simply enjoying weekend bashing sessions, a quality slipper pad is essential. Racing applications demand precise, consistent performance, but casual bashers benefit even more from crash protection since off-road impacts can be severe and unpredictable.
• Can I use this pad with my existing spur gear, or do I need to buy a new gear as well? — This Octalock version pad is specifically designed to work only with Octalock spur gears. If your vehicle currently has older non-Octalock gears, you'll need to upgrade to an Octalock spur gear to use this pad. However, if you prefer to keep your existing gear, Team Associated #9611 Slipper Pads V2 or #91197 LCF Slipper Pads can work with Octalock spur gears as alternative options.
• I have an older RC10B6 with AS91197 LCF pads—can I upgrade to this newer Octalock pad? — Yes, upgrading is possible but requires a simple modification. You'll need to remove the eight Octalock tabs from your older AS91197 pad, a task that takes approximately five minutes with basic tools. This allows the older pad to work with new Octalock spur gears. Alternatively, you can purchase this new FT Octalock pad and install it directly with a compatible Octalock spur gear for the latest performance characteristics.
• How often will I need to replace the slipper pad? — Lifespan depends heavily on usage intensity. Competitive racers might replace pads every few months of regular competition. Casual users might go a year or more without replacement. Visual inspection is the best guide—if the pad shows significant wear, polishing, or uneven surfaces, replacement is recommended. Keep spare pads on hand for race days to avoid disappointment.
• What's the difference between this Octalock pad and earlier Team Associated slipper pads? — The main differences are the Octalock tab interface system (which provides more secure engagement with compatible gears), the compact 19mm size (optimised for modern chassis designs), and the engineering refinements that come from Team Associated's ongoing development. The Octalock system is considered the current generation standard for Team Associated platforms.
• Will this pad work with aftermarket spur gears from other manufacturers? — No. This pad is specifically engineered for Team Associated Octalock spur gears. Compatibility is not guaranteed with other brands, even if they appear physically similar. Always use genuine Team Associated components together for reliable, predictable performance.
• Is this a genuine Team Associated part or an aftermarket clone? — This is 100% genuine Team Associated OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, purchased directly from authorised UK distributors. RC Model Shop stocks only authentic components, never counterfeit alternatives, ensuring you receive the exact engineering and quality that Team Associated designed.
