Technical Performance
The Rear Hubs/Caster Block assembly for the Associated Reflex 14B Classic represents precision engineering that maintains the suspension geometry essential for competitive 1/10-scale RC racing. The rear hub assembly carries significant loads during acceleration and cornering, requiring robust construction to withstand the demands of both smooth track surfaces and rough off-road terrain. The caster block component works integrally with the hubs to establish the correct steering angle geometry, which directly influences how your RC buggy responds to throttle input, braking, and directional changes. Built to Associated's exacting standards, this component ensures that your Reflex 14B Classic maintains consistent handling characteristics lap after lap, whether you are practising at your local track or competing in club events. The natural finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that will withstand exposure to moisture and dirt common in typical RC racing environments. By replacing worn or damaged hub and caster block assemblies with genuine Associated parts, you preserve the tuning characteristics and performance envelope that your buggy was engineered to deliver. This is a wear item that will eventually require replacement as part of regular maintenance, making it an essential spare to have on hand for any serious Reflex 14B Classic owner.
