Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between universals and dogbones in an RC car drivetrain? — Universals, or universal joints, are typically found at the front of the vehicle where they connect the transmission output to the front axles, allowing for both power transmission and suspension articulation. Dogbones are rear drivetrain components that serve a similar function, connecting the gearbox to the rear axles. Both are essential for translating engine power into wheel rotation while accommodating the movement of your vehicle's suspension system.
• Why would I need to replace the front universals and rear dogbones? — Over time, these components experience wear from rotational forces, suspension movement, and general use. Signs of wear include increased play in the drivetrain, vibration, or binding during suspension articulation. Replacing these components restores your vehicle's performance, eliminates drivetrain play, and ensures smooth power delivery to all four wheels.
• Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, the AS21576 is an original Team Associated OEM part, meaning it's manufactured by the company that designed and built your Reflex 14R. Using genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility and maintains your vehicle's performance to factory specifications.
• Do I need any special tools to install these components? — Installation requirements can vary depending on your specific vehicle configuration and experience level. It's recommended to consult your Reflex 14R instruction manual or contact the RC Model Shop team for detailed installation guidance to ensure proper fitment and performance.
• How often should I replace my universals and dogbones? — The lifespan depends on how frequently you use your vehicle and the conditions in which you drive. Regular inspection during maintenance sessions will help you identify when components are wearing. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare drivetrain components on hand to minimise downtime.
