Overview
The Associated Reflex 14B/14T Shock Accessories Set (AS21537) is an essential maintenance kit designed for RC enthusiasts who demand peak suspension performance from their RC cars. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher, or someone who takes their RC hobby seriously in the UK, this genuine Associated OEM spare parts set keeps your shock assemblies operating at their best. Shock components naturally wear with extended running, and having quality replacement parts on hand ensures your RC buggy or monster truck maintains predictable damping characteristics across varying track conditions.
As an authorised Associated spare, this shock accessories set delivers factory-grade quality that complements your existing hardware perfectly. The AS21537 is specifically engineered for the Reflex 14B and Reflex 14T platforms, making it an indispensable item for anyone serious about maintaining their RC model. By keeping a set in your toolkit, you minimise downtime and can perform routine maintenance and refreshes whenever needed, ensuring smooth and consistent suspension performance over extended running sessions.
This is not just another aftermarket product—it's genuine factory engineering from Team Associated, one of the most respected names in RC racing. Whether you're preparing for competition or simply want to keep your RC buggy running smoothly, the Shock Accessories Set AS21537 offers the reassurance of OEM-quality components that integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension hardware.
Key Features
- Genuine Associated OEM Quality — This is an official factory spare from Team Associated, ensuring that every component meets the same engineering standards as your original equipment, giving you confidence that replacements will perform identically to the originals.
- Complete Shock Refresh Kit — The set includes all the essential consumable components needed to maintain your shock assemblies, allowing you to perform complete shock refreshes without purchasing items separately or hunting for compatible parts from multiple suppliers.
- Four Shock End Components — The four 14B shock ends included in this kit allow you to refresh the upper mounting and structural integrity of your shock assemblies, maintaining proper geometry and response characteristics.
- Four Spring Cups — Quality spring cups are essential for maintaining consistent spring seating and damping behaviour, and this set provides four replacements to keep your suspension balanced across all four shock positions.
- Four Shock Pistons — The pistons are critical damping components that work within your shock bodies to control fluid movement and energy dissipation; fresh pistons restore consistent damping feel after extended running.
- Four Seal Spacers — Seal spacers maintain proper compression and prevent fluid leakage within your shock assemblies, ensuring that damping characteristics remain predictable and performance remains consistent lap after lap.
- Four 4.3mm Balls — These precision balls are integral to the shock assembly mechanism, and the set includes four replacements to ensure your shocks operate smoothly and respond consistently to track conditions.
- Perfect for Routine Maintenance — Rather than waiting for catastrophic shock failure, this accessory set allows preventative maintenance that keeps your RC car performing at peak efficiency, extending the service life of your complete suspension system.
- Minimises Downtime — By having these components ready, you can quickly refresh your shocks during events or practice sessions, keeping your RC buggy or monster truck ready to run without extended waits for replacement parts to arrive.
- Compatible with Multiple Reflex Models — This set works across the Reflex 14B, Reflex 14T, Reflex 14MT Monster Truck, Reflex 14B Ongaro, and Reflex 14B Buggy platforms, making it a versatile choice for multi-model RC enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The shock accessories set represents Team Associated's commitment to engineering excellence in RC suspension design. Each component is manufactured to precise tolerances that ensure flawless integration with your existing shock assemblies. The shock ends provide the structural mounting points that connect your shock units to the chassis, and quality examples maintain exact geometry that preserves suspension geometry and handling characteristics. The spring cups create the seating surface for your springs, and precision manufacturing ensures consistent spring rates and preload characteristics across all four shocks. The pistons are where damping science truly matters—they control the rate at which hydraulic fluid moves through the shock bodies, and worn pistons lose their precision, resulting in unpredictable damping behaviour that affects handling. Fresh seal spacers prevent the internal fluid leakage that develops over time, maintaining pressure differentials and consistent damping response. The precision 4.3mm balls work within the shock valve mechanisms to regulate fluid movement and energy dissipation. Together, these components transform shock performance from degraded to like-new, restoring the consistent suspension behaviour that separates competitive RC racing from frustrating inconsistency. Whether you're running on off-road tracks, bashng in the garden, or competing at club level across the UK, having fresh shock internals means you're racing with proven, predictable suspension rather than worn-out components that introduce variables into your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Associated models does the AS21537 shock accessories set fit? — This shock kit is designed for the Reflex 14B, Reflex 14T, Reflex 14MT Monster Truck, Reflex 14B Ongaro, and Reflex 14B Buggy. If you own any of these platforms, this set provides direct replacement parts that integrate perfectly with your existing hardware.
- How often should I replace my shock components? — Shock wear depends on running frequency and conditions, but most competitive racers refresh their shocks every 10-20 hours of running, while casual bashers might do so every 30-50 hours. If you notice damping becoming unpredictable, less responsive, or inconsistent across your four shocks, it's time for a refresh using a kit like this.
- What makes genuine Associated spares better than aftermarket alternatives? — OEM parts are engineered to the exact specifications of your original equipment, meaning they integrate seamlessly and perform identically to factory components. Aftermarket parts may have tolerance variations that introduce inconsistencies into your suspension behaviour, whereas genuine Associated parts maintain the precise engineering standards that deliver predictable performance.
- Can I use this set for all-four shock refresh or just partial repairs? — This set provides enough components for a complete four-shock refresh, meaning you can replace all consumable elements in your entire suspension system in one go. Alternatively, you can use the components for targeted repairs if only one or two shocks need attention.
- Do I need special tools to install these shock accessories? — Installation requires basic RC tools that most hobby enthusiasts already have—a small wrench or hex key set for shock end fasteners, and steady hands for reassembly. No specialised equipment is necessary, making this an accessible maintenance task for anyone comfortable working on their RC car.
- How do I know if my shocks need refreshing? — Signs that your shocks need attention include damping becoming less responsive, different handling on the left and right sides of your RC buggy, visible fluid leakage from shock bodies, or simply inconsistent suspension feel compared to when your car was new. A complete refresh using this kit will restore performance to factory specifications.
