Technical Performance
The rear driveline represents a critical component in any RC car's drivetrain architecture. The Associated Reflex 14B/14T Rear Driveline Set delivers the precision engineering you'd expect from a manufacturer with decades of competitive RC racing heritage. The 60.5mm dog bones are CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring they maintain proper alignment throughout their service life whilst transmitting power efficiently to the rear axles. This precision is particularly important for the Reflex series, which has been engineered as a high-performance platform capable of delivering competitive lap times on circuit tracks and thrilling performance during bashing sessions on rough terrain. The matched axle components work in concert with the dog bones to create a fully integrated driveline assembly that minimises vibration, reduces component stress, and maximises the lifespan of your entire drivetrain. Whether you're running on a tarmac circuit, grass track, or loose terrain, these components deliver the reliability and performance characteristics that have made the Reflex series a favourite amongst UK RC enthusiasts. The engineering philosophy behind this rear driveline set emphasises durability under load whilst maintaining the low-friction characteristics necessary for smooth power delivery. Regular inspection and replacement of these components as part of scheduled maintenance will ensure your Reflex continues to perform at its best.
