This is not simply a cosmetic upgrade—the engineering behind this part directly addresses wear points and stress concentrations common in RC racing. By choosing genuine Team Associated Factory Team components, you're investing in parts that have been tested in the most demanding racing environments and proven to withstand the rigours of high-performance RC motorsport.
Key Features
- Premium 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is significantly stronger and more durable than standard aluminium, ensuring your RC car suspension geometry remains consistent through hundreds of jumps and cornering sessions without deformation or failure.
- +2mm Offset Design — The +2mm ballstud mount offset provides geometry tuning flexibility for your RC10B7, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension characteristics and steering response to suit your driving style, track conditions, or racing setup preferences.
- Blue Anodised Finish — The vibrant blue anodised coating protects the aluminium from corrosion and wear whilst delivering an eye-catching factory appearance that complements the Team Associated RC10B7 design perfectly.
- Secondary Machined Chamfers — Precision-machined chamfered edges are not just for looks; they reduce stress concentration points that can lead to fatigue cracking, whilst also providing a professional, competition-grade appearance that reflects the quality of your RC setup.
- Laser-Etched Factory Team Logo — The integrated FT logo is permanently etched into the part using precision laser technology, ensuring the branding will never wear off and adding to the authentic Factory Team aesthetic.
- One-Piece Design — Unlike multi-piece alternatives, the one-piece construction eliminates potential failure points between joined sections, delivering superior reliability and consistency in your RC buggy's suspension performance.
Technical Performance
The TEAM ASSOCIATED RC10B7 FT BALLSTUD MOUNT +2MM BLUE ALUMINIUM represents the pinnacle of suspension component engineering for 1/10-scale 4WD RC buggies. Manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminium, this material offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard alloys, meaning you gain durability without adding unnecessary mass to your RC car. The +2mm offset is engineered to work seamlessly with the RC10B7 and RC10B7D platform, providing geometry adjustments that professional racers use to optimise handling characteristics. The secondary machined chamfers serve a dual purpose: they eliminate sharp edges that concentrate stress during high-impact landings, and they reflect light beautifully to showcase the factory finish quality. The anodised blue coating provides a hard oxide layer that resists the abrasive sand, dirt, and moisture encountered during outdoor RC driving, extending the component's lifespan significantly. Every aspect of this ballstud mount—from material selection through final laser etching—has been executed to Factory Team standards, ensuring that when you install this part on your RC10B7, you're benefiting from the same component specifications used by Team Associated factory racing drivers. This is a precision-engineered part that improves both the reliability and the handling characteristics of your RC buggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Team Associated RC10B7 FT Ballstud Mount compatible with my RC10B7D? — Yes, this +2mm ballstud mount is fully compatible with both the RC10B7 and RC10B7D models, as confirmed by the manufacturer specifications. If you're running either of these Team Associated buggies, this upgrade will fit perfectly.
- What does the +2mm offset actually do for my RC buggy? — The +2mm offset adjusts your suspension geometry, allowing you to tune how your RC car's wheels sit relative to the suspension arms. This affects steering response, cornering stability, and how your buggy handles different track conditions. Racers use different offsets to dial in the perfect handling for their driving style and track characteristics.
- Why is 7075-T6 aluminium better than standard alloys for RC parts? — 7075-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that offers superior strength and fatigue resistance compared to standard aluminium. This means your ballstud mount can withstand repeated impacts, high-speed cornering loads, and the stress of competitive racing without deforming or cracking, keeping your RC10B7's suspension geometry consistent race after race.
- Will the blue anodised finish scratch and fade? — The anodised finish is significantly more durable than painted alternatives and resists scratches, fading, and corrosion better than raw aluminium. However, like any RC part exposed to dirt, sand, and moisture during outdoor driving, it will show signs of use over time. This is completely normal and doesn't affect the performance or structural integrity of the component.
- Is this suitable for beginners or just for competitive racers? — Whilst this is a Factory Team component designed to competition standards, it's an excellent upgrade for any RC10B7 owner who wants improved durability and handling performance. Beginners benefit from the enhanced reliability, whilst experienced racers appreciate the precision engineering and geometry tuning possibilities.
- What is the difference between this Factory Team mount and standard Team Associated mounts? — Factory Team components are engineered to the highest precision standards and manufactured from premium materials like 7075-T6 aluminium. They feature professional details such as laser-etched logos and machined chamfers. Standard components may use different alloys or manufacturing processes. The Factory Team version delivers superior durability, consistency, and aesthetic quality for racers who demand the best.
