Overview
The Team Associated Counter Weights 1/4oz (AS1595) are essential tuning accessories for serious RC enthusiasts who demand precision handling and balanced performance from their RC cars. Whether you're fine-tuning your RC buggy for competition or simply want to optimise the weight distribution on your RC truck, these self-stick chassis weights provide the perfect solution for adjusting your vehicle's balance. Available from RC Model Shop, these counter weights are designed by Team Associated, one of the world's most respected names in RC racing and hobby-grade vehicles.
If you're running a Team Associated RC10 series car, RC12 series vehicle, Nitro TC3, or compatible X Factory model, these counter weights are the ideal accessory to have in your pit box. The pack contains a total of 2oz of weight distributed across individual 1/4oz pieces, allowing you to make micro-adjustments to your chassis bias with precision and confidence. Proper weight distribution is crucial for achieving optimal handling characteristics, whether you're practising at your local RC track in the UK or competing in organised events.
These weights represent a small but significant investment in your RC car's performance. Many experienced RC racers and bashers understand that even small changes to weight distribution can dramatically alter how your vehicle handles, accelerates, and corners. The Team Associated Counter Weights 1/4oz make it straightforward to experiment with different weight placements and find the perfect setup for your driving style and track conditions.
Key Features
- Self-stick design — Each weight piece features a self-adhesive backing that allows quick and secure placement directly onto your chassis without the need for additional fasteners, tape, or tools, meaning you can make adjustments in seconds between races or practice runs.
- Precision tuning capability — The individual 1/4oz pieces give you granular control over weight distribution, allowing you to fine-tune left-right bias or front-rear bias in small, manageable increments rather than adding or removing large chunks of weight.
- 2oz total weight capacity — With eight individual 1/4oz weights in the pack, you have up to 2oz of total adjustable mass, providing significant flexibility for experimenting with different handling characteristics.
- Designed by Team Associated — These weights are engineered specifically for Team Associated vehicles and are compatible with numerous models in the Team Associated range, ensuring they're manufactured to the same high standards as the vehicles themselves.
- Easy application and repositioning — The self-stick backing makes these weights easy to apply to your chassis, and because they're adhesive-backed rather than permanently fastened, you can remove and reposition them as needed when experimenting with different setups.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated Counter Weights 1/4oz operate on a simple but effective principle: precision weight distribution affects chassis balance and handling characteristics. Each weight piece is precisely measured at 1/4oz, with eight pieces totalling 2oz per pack. The self-stick adhesive backing provides secure placement on metal and plastic chassis surfaces without degradation over time or through multiple race sessions. The adhesive is formulated to hold firmly under acceleration, braking, and cornering forces whilst remaining removable without damaging your chassis finish. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts, these weights represent the kind of professional-grade tuning tool used by competitive racers to dial in their vehicles for specific track conditions, driving styles, or weather variations. The ability to adjust weight distribution is particularly important for 1/10 scale 4WD buggies and trucks where even a few grams of weight in different positions can shift the handling characteristics from understeer to oversteer, or improve traction during acceleration.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do Team Associated counter weights help improve my RC car's handling? — Weight distribution directly affects how your RC car behaves during acceleration, braking, and cornering. By adjusting where weight is placed on the chassis, you can change the handling bias of your vehicle. Adding weight to the front can help with understeer correction, whilst rear weight can improve traction and stability. The individual 1/4oz pieces let you make precise adjustments to find your vehicle's optimal setup.
- Are these counter weights difficult to apply? — No, the self-stick adhesive backing makes application extremely straightforward. Simply clean the area of your chassis where you want to place the weight, peel the backing from the weight, and press it firmly onto the chassis. The adhesive provides secure holding power for racing and bashing without requiring any tools or additional fasteners.
- Can I reuse these weights if I want to try different positions? — Yes, because they use self-stick adhesive rather than being permanently bolted or fastened, you can remove them and reposition them multiple times.
