Key Features

• Genuine Factory Team Component — This is an official Team Associated Factory Team part, not an aftermarket alternative, which means it has been designed and tested by the engineers who created the B74.2 platform itself. You can trust that these components meet the exacting standards required for competitive racing.
• Precisely Matched Hub and Pad Set — The hub and pads in this set have been manufactured as a matched pair to ensure perfect compatibility and consistent performance. This precision matching helps to eliminate variables in your drivetrain and maintain predictable slipper engagement characteristics.
• Decoupled Slipper System Compatibility — Specifically engineered for use with the B74.2 FT decoupled slipper system, these components are essential if you're upgrading from a standard slipper to a decoupled design. The decoupling mechanism provides superior performance by allowing independent engagement control.
• Easy Identification and Reference — With the dedicated part number AS92370, this component is instantly recognisable in your pit box and spares list, making it simple to identify exactly what you need for maintenance or building purposes.
• Perfect for Build or Service — Whether you're constructing a new B74.2 from a kit or maintaining an existing machine, this hub and pad set provides exactly what you need. No guesswork, no compatibility questions—just genuine parts that work with your Associated platform.
• Maintains Drivetrain Consistency — By using matching Associated parts throughout your drivetrain, you ensure that all components are engineered to work together harmoniously. This consistency is crucial for achieving predictable handling characteristics and reliable performance on the track.

Technical Performance

The B74.2 FT decoupled slipper hub and pads represent the pinnacle of Team Associated's drivetrain engineering. The decoupled slipper system is a sophisticated advancement over traditional slipper clutches, offering racers more precise control over traction and acceleration characteristics. The hub component is precisely machined from high-quality materials to ensure durability under the stresses of competitive racing, whilst the pads are engineered with specific friction properties that deliver smooth, consistent engagement. The matched pair ensures that wear characteristics are uniform and predictable, allowing drivers to develop a feel for their machine across multiple heats and races. This level of engineering excellence is what separates Factory Team components from generic alternatives. Whether you're running on carpet, clay, or asphalt tracks across the UK, these components will provide the reliable performance you demand. The decoupled slipper design allows for independent engagement control, meaning acceleration is smoother and drivetrain shock is reduced, leading to better overall handling and reduced wear on other drivetrain components. For serious competitors and builders who understand the importance of quality components, the AS92370 represents a worthwhile investment in reliability and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a decoupled slipper and why do I need it for my RC10B74.2? — A decoupled slipper system represents an advanced refinement of the traditional slipper clutch design found on many RC cars UK. Whilst a standard slipper allows the rear axle to slip when traction limits are exceeded, a decoupled system separates the engagement mechanism from the clutch itself, allowing drivers to fine-tune acceleration characteristics more precisely. This results in smoother acceleration, reduced wheel spin, and better overall drivetrain protection. If you're upgrading your B74.2 to competitive specifications or want maximum performance, the decoupled slipper is an excellent addition.
• Is this part compatible with the standard B74.2, or do I need the FT conversion kit? — This hub and pad set is specifically designed for the decoupled slipper system found on the B74.2 FT platform. If you're running a standard B74.2 without the FT conversion, you'll need to install the AS92364 RC10B74.2 FT Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit first to use these components. The conversion kit transforms your standard B74.2 slipper into a decoupled system, after which these pads and hub will fit perfectly.
• Will these parts work with my RC10B74.2D model? — Yes, absolutely. The AS92370 hub and pads are confirmed compatible with both the RC10B74.2 and RC10B74.2D models. The B74.2D is the updated variant of the B74.2, and Team Associated has ensured that Factory Team components maintain cross-compatibility across the platform. You can confidently order these parts for either model.
• How often will I need to replace these pads? — Slipper pad wear depends heavily on your driving style, track conditions, and usage intensity. Aggressive acceleration and frequent slipping will accelerate pad wear compared to smoother driving techniques. We recommend checking your slipper pads regularly as part of your post-race maintenance routine. When you notice reduced engagement or inconsistent slipper behaviour, it's time to replace the pads. Having spare pads on hand is always a good practice for race day.
• Can I use aftermarket slipper pads instead of genuine Associated parts? — While aftermarket alternatives exist, we strongly recommend using genuine Factory Team components for your B74.2. Associated has engineered these pads to work in perfect harmony with the hub and the broader drivetrain system. Mixing brands can introduce variables that affect performance predictability, which is the last thing you want during competitive racing. Genuine parts also carry the assurance of quality control and consistent specifications.
• What tools do I need to install these pads and hub? — Installation of slipper components typically requires basic RC car tools including hex drivers and possibly a small bearing puller if you're removing the existing hub. We recommend consulting the B74.2 build manual or service guide for detailed installation instructions.
