- Molded Tub Design — The chassis features a rigid, moulded tub construction that provides excellent structural integrity and support for the suspension geometry, motor mount and electronic components whilst minimising flex under load.
- Covered Center Driveshaft Protection — The design includes protection for the lightweight aluminium center driveshaft, shielding it from debris and impact damage during aggressive off-road running and preventing premature wear.
- Optimised Suspension Mounting — The chassis geometry is designed to work seamlessly with the Reflex 14B's adjustable shock towers and suspension arm mounts, allowing you to fine-tune handling characteristics across different terrain types.

Technical Performance
The Reflex 14B Classic Chassis represents the culmination of Team Associated's four decades of off-road racing expertise. This 1:14 scale platform is engineered around a lightweight, rigid moulded tub design that provides exceptional structural support whilst maintaining minimal weight – a critical factor in competitive off-road racing. The chassis accommodates three sealed differentials that work in conjunction with a 2.46:1 internal gear ratio to deliver smooth, predictable power delivery across varied terrain. The aluminium center driveshaft is lightweight yet durable, reducing unsprung mass and improving suspension response. The chassis is designed to work with Team Associated's gold-anodised aluminium steering rack, providing precise steering control and exceptional corner speed. With adjustable turnbuckles and modifiable caster blocks and rear hubs, drivers can tailor the chassis geometry to suit their preferred driving style and local track conditions. The covered center driveshaft design protects critical drivetrain components from dirt and impact damage. This is a kit-based vehicle, meaning the chassis comes as a component part requiring integration with a motor, battery, ESC, servo and receiver – allowing experienced builders to construct a setup perfectly matched to their specific needs and driving preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Reflex 14B Classic Chassis suitable for beginners to RC car building? — The Reflex 14B Classic is designed as a kit-based platform intended for experienced RC builders who have previous experience assembling RC cars. The chassis itself is straightforward, but you'll need to source and install a motor, ESC, battery, servo and receiver. If you're new to RC, you may prefer a ready-to-run model, though building from a kit like this is an excellent way to learn component integration and vehicle setup.
- What scale is the Reflex 14B Classic Chassis? — This is a 1:14 scale off-road buggy chassis, making it significantly smaller and more portable than 1:10 scale RC buggies whilst still delivering impressive performance and durability. The 1:14 scale is ideal for UK indoor tracks and smaller outdoor courses.
- What are the chassis dimensions? — The Reflex 14B Classic measures 304mm in length and 202mm in width with a variable wheelbase depending on suspension setup. These compact dimensions make it highly manoeuvrable on tight courses.
- Is this a complete vehicle or just a chassis component? — This product is just the replacement chassis plate itself. The complete Reflex 14B Classic Kit includes the chassis plus many other components, but as a replacement spare, this part allows you to refresh or repair an existing vehicle. You'll need to transfer other components or source them separately.
- What is the internal gear ratio? — The Reflex 14B Classic features a 2.46:1 internal gear ratio designed to deliver optimal acceleration and top speed across typical off-road terrain whilst maintaining reliable drivetrain performance.
- Can I upgrade this chassis? — Yes, Team Associated offers numerous optional upgrades including gold-anodised aluminium shock bodies, upgraded steering racks, alternative body shells and various suspension components. The natural chassis serves as an excellent platform for customisation and performance tuning.
- Why choose a genuine Associated replacement over an aftermarket chassis? — Genuine OEM parts ensure perfect fitment, consistent quality and guaranteed compatibility with all your existing components. Team Associated's engineering expertise means factory parts are designed for optimal performance and durability, with proven track record in competitive racing.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
