Technical Performance

The slipper spring is a fundamental component in the drivetrain of 1/10 scale RC buggies, engineered with precision to balance protection and performance. Team Associated's design ensures that this spring provides the right amount of compliance to protect your gearbox under stress whilst maintaining responsive acceleration and reliable power delivery during normal driving. The spring mechanism allows the slipper clutch to engage and disengage smoothly, preventing sudden jerks or vibrations that could damage internal gears or create inconsistent handling characteristics. The material composition and spring rate have been carefully calibrated by Team Associated engineers to match the performance characteristics of the B44, B6, and B6D platforms, ensuring that when you install this replacement, your RC buggy performs exactly as the manufacturer intended. This is particularly important for competitive racing where consistent drivetrain feel and reliability can mean the difference between winning and finishing on the podium. The genuine specification ensures compatibility with all original Team Associated components in your transmission system, and the simple design means there are no complex adjustment procedures needed — simply remove the worn spring and install the new one.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly does a slipper spring do on an RC buggy? — The slipper spring is part of the slipper clutch mechanism in your RC car's drivetrain. It allows controlled slippage under excessive load or impact, which protects the gearbox and transmission from damage. When you hit a big jump or drive into an obstacle at high speed, the slipper spring allows the motor to continue spinning whilst the wheels grip, preventing sudden shock loads that could break internal gears. This is why having a good quality replacement spring is essential for both racing and bashing.
• How do I know if my slipper spring needs replacing? — Over time, repeated stress cycles will fatigue the spring material, causing it to lose its original tension and compliance characteristics. Signs that replacement is needed include inconsistent or jerky acceleration, visible wear or deformation on the spring itself, or noticing that your RC buggy feels less responsive than it used to. Regular maintenance inspections, especially after intense racing or heavy bashing sessions, will help you catch a worn spring before it causes further drivetrain damage.
• Will this AS9739 spring fit my Team Associated buggy? — Yes, the AS9739 is specifically designed for the Team Associated B44, B6, and B6D models. If you own any of these three platforms, this spring will fit perfectly without any modification or adjustment needed. Simply identify your RC buggy model and order with confidence knowing you have the correct genuine part.
• Is this a genuine Team Associated part? — Absolutely. The AS9739 is an official Team Associated component manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as the original parts supplied with new RC buggies. This ensures perfect fitment, consistent performance, and reliability you can depend on. Buying genuine parts from an authorised UK retailer like RC Model Shop means you're getting authentic products, not aftermarket copies or counterfeit alternatives.
• How often should I replace the slipper spring? — The frequency depends on how intensively you use your RC buggy. Serious racers who compete regularly may need to replace the spring every few months to maintain peak performance, whilst casual weekend bashers might get a year or more of use before replacement becomes necessary. We recommend inspecting your slipper spring regularly as part of routine maintenance, and keeping a spare AS9739 on hand so you're never left without your RC car when it needs a quick fix.
• Can I use this spring on other Team Associated models? — The AS9739 is specifically engineered for the B44, B6, and B6D models and is not recommended for use on other Team Associated platforms such as the B4.2, B5, T4.2, or other product lines. Always verify your model number before ordering to ensure compatibility and proper fit.
• How difficult is it to replace the slipper spring myself? — Replacing the slipper spring typically requires disassembling the transmission housing and drivetrain, which is an intermediate-level maintenance task. If you're experienced with RC buggy maintenance and have the necessary tools, you should be able to complete the job in 30-45 minutes. If you're new to RC cars, we recommend consulting the Team Associated manual for your specific model or visiting our Walsall store for advice and support from our experienced team members.
