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.

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.
