Overview
The Associated Reflex 14B/14T Front & Rear Shock Shafts (AS21535) are genuine OEM replacement components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance from their Reflex platform. Whether you're running an RC buggy, monster truck or truggy, these shock shafts are essential spares for maintaining peak suspension performance. As an authorised Associated dealer, RC Model Shop stocks this genuine part to keep your RC car UK-ready and performing at its best. The Reflex 14 series has earned a reputation amongst the RC community for precision engineering and durability, and these shock shafts are integral to preserving that quality.
Shock shafts are critical suspension components that directly affect handling, responsiveness and overall vehicle dynamics. Over time, with regular use during racing, bashing or competition driving, these shafts can become worn, bent or damaged, leading to uneven suspension behaviour and compromised performance. By fitting genuine Associated replacement shock shafts, you restore your Reflex to factory specification and ensure predictable, consistent handling across all driving conditions. This replacement part is perfect for maintenance schedules, competition prep or emergency repairs when you need to get your RC car back on track quickly.
If you're a serious RC car UK enthusiast or weekend basher, having spare shock shafts in your parts box is a smart investment. These direct-fit components require no modification and are backed by Associated's reputation for quality. RC Model Shop provides same-day dispatch on in-stock items, meaning you can have your Reflex back to full performance within days.

Technical Performance
The Associated Reflex 14B/14T Front & Rear Shock Shafts represent precision engineering at its finest, manufactured from hardened steel to withstand the extreme forces generated during competitive racing and bashing. The kit provides two different shaft lengths — the 3x37mm and 3x43mm configurations — allowing precise tuning of suspension height and stiffness characteristics to suit different track conditions and driving styles. The 3mm diameter shaft profile is the standard specification for the Reflex 14 platform, engineered to interface seamlessly with Associated's matched shock bodies and damping cartridges. Whether you're running on carpet, asphalt or natural terrain, these shafts provide the structural integrity and smooth operation that separates competitive machinery from casual toys. The hardened finish resists scoring and wear, maintaining consistent damping characteristics over extended use. For RC racers in the UK who demand the highest standards, genuine Associated replacement shafts ensure your Reflex maintains its factory performance envelope lap after lap, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Reflex models do these shock shafts fit? — These shock shafts (AS21535) are designed for the Reflex 14B, Reflex 14T, Reflex 14MT Monster Truck, Reflex 14B Ongaro and Reflex 14B Buggy. Always verify your vehicle model before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific RC car UK setup.
- How often should I replace my shock shafts? — Shock shafts should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, bending or scoring, particularly if you bash hard or run competitively. Replace them immediately if damaged, or perform preventative replacement annually if you run frequently. Genuine Associated spares ensure consistent suspension behaviour and optimal handling.
- What's the difference between the 3x37mm and 3x43mm shafts? — The two different lengths allow adjustment of suspension geometry and ride height. The 3x37mm provides a lower stance, whilst the 3x43mm raises the vehicle slightly. You'll receive both lengths in this kit, giving you flexibility to tune your Reflex to different track conditions and driving preferences.
- Do I need special tools to install these shafts? — No, these are direct replacement components that install using standard RC tools. Simply remove your existing shafts from the shock bodies and press in the new ones. If unfamiliar with suspension work, our expert team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance.
- Are these genuine Associated parts? — Yes, these are authentic OEM Associated components, not reproductions or aftermarket alternatives. RC Model Shop is an authorised Associated dealer, so you can be confident you're purchasing genuine parts with full manufacturer quality assurance.
- Can I use these on other RC vehicles? — These shafts are specifically engineered for the Reflex 14 platform and will not fit other vehicle scales or brands. Always use the correct OEM parts specified for your particular RC model to ensure safety and performance.
