If you're serious about competitive RC racing with your RC10B7, this is an essential tuning component that belongs in your spares box.

Key Features

• 16-gram steel construction — The substantial weight of this plate makes it ideal for adding significant weight bias to your RC10B7, allowing you to shift the centre of gravity and dramatically alter your buggy's handling characteristics on different track surfaces and conditions.
• Factory Team engineering — This is an officially engineered Team Associated Factory Team component, meaning it has been designed and tested by the same engineers who develop race-winning setups, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance every time.
• Direct fit compatibility — These plates are a direct fit to the RC10B7 platform, requiring no modification, no adapters, and no guesswork during installation, allowing you to make quick setup changes between races or practice sessions.
• Precise weight bias adjustment — By adding or removing this plate, you can fine-tune the overall weight distribution of your buggy to achieve consistent handling across different track conditions, from grip-heavy clay tracks to low-traction asphalt surfaces.
• Compatible with RC10B7 and RC10B7D — This plate fits both the standard RC10B7 and the newer RC10B7D variant, making it a versatile tuning option if you're upgrading or building multiple buggies.
• Part of a comprehensive tuning range — Team Associated offers multiple weight options (from 4g carbon fibre plates up to 26g steel arm mounts), allowing you to build a complete library of weight configurations for every racing situation.
• Repeatable setup control — Unlike vague handling adjustments, weight changes produce measurable, repeatable results that you can reliably correlate with track performance and driver feedback.

Technical Performance

The RC10B7 FT Steel Servo Weight Plate 16g represents the pinnacle of precision RC buggy tuning. Manufactured from steel—chosen specifically for its density and durability—this plate provides substantial mass in a compact form factor that mounts directly to the servo area of your RC10B7 chassis. The 16-gram specification positions this plate in the mid-range of Team Associated's weight options, making it ideal for moderate weight bias adjustments without over-correcting handling. Steel construction ensures the plate will not degrade, bend, or lose its properties after repeated use, providing years of reliable service in competitive racing environments. The engineering tolerances are tight enough that multiple plates can be stacked or mixed with other Factory Team weight options to achieve any desired weight configuration. This level of precision is only possible through Team Associated's manufacturing expertise and quality control standards, which have been refined through decades of competitive racing success. The plate's mounting system is engineered to be completely invisible during use—it integrates seamlessly into your RC10B7's servo area, contributing only weight and balance, never affecting aerodynamics or handling dynamics in any way other than intentionally shifting the weight distribution you've chosen.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What weight options are available in the Team Associated Factory Team range? — Team Associated offers a comprehensive selection of weight options for the RC10B7 platform, including the RC10B7 FT Steel Arm Mount C (26g), RC10B7 FT Steel Arm Mount D (9g), FT Aluminium Servo Weight Plate (6g), RC10B7 FT Steel Servo Weight Plate (16g), and RC10B7 FT Carbon Fibre Servo Weight Plate (4g). This range allows you to adjust your buggy's weight bias anywhere from ultra-light setups to heavily weighted configurations, depending on your track conditions and driving style.
• Can I use this plate on both the RC10B7 and RC10B7D? — Yes, this servo weight plate is designed as a direct fit for both the RC10B7 and RC10B7D platforms. The RC10B7D is the newer variant, and Team Associated ensured full compatibility between their Factory Team tuning components and both models, so you can confidently use this plate on either buggy.
• How does weight bias adjustment affect my buggy's handling? — Adding weight to the front or rear of your RC10B7 fundamentally changes how it responds to acceleration, braking, and cornering. A 16-gram plate positioned in the servo area will shift your centre of gravity forward, typically improving front-end traction and reducing oversteer on low-grip surfaces, while potentially making the buggy slightly less responsive in sharp corners. The exact effect depends on your track surface, your current setup, and your driving style—this is why having access to multiple weight options allows you to dial in the perfect balance for any situation.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — While this is a genuine Factory Team component, weight tuning is typically an advanced technique used by competitive racers who understand setup theory. Beginners may not notice significant handling improvements from weight adjustments alone and might benefit more from learning fundamental driving skills first. However, once you've progressed to intermediate or competitive racing, weight tuning becomes essential for extracting maximum performance from your RC10B7.
• How do I install this plate? — These are described as direct-fit components to the RC10B7 platform, meaning installation should be straightforward without modification, though specific installation instructions would be found in your RC10B7's manual or on the Team Associated website.
• What is the difference between this steel plate and other weight options? — The 16-gram steel servo weight plate is the heaviest weight option in the standard servo plate range, making it ideal for significant forward weight bias. The carbon fibre plate (4g) is much lighter and ideal for fine-tuning without major changes, while the aluminium option (6g) provides a mid-range alternative. The steel arm mounts (9g and 26g) are heavier still and mount in different locations. Choosing between them depends on how much weight adjustment you need and where on the chassis you want to position that weight.
