Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these shock collars compatible with other Team Associated models besides the Rival MT8? — These threaded shock collars are specifically designed and listed by the manufacturer for the Rival MT8 platform and SR7. For compatibility with other Team Associated vehicles, please consult your model's manual or contact our expert team for guidance on correct spare parts for your specific model.
• Why do I need to replace shock collars on my RC truck? — Shock collars experience wear through regular use as they secure and position your shock absorber components. Over time, the threaded connections may wear, threads may become stripped from repeated assembly and disassembly during maintenance, or the collars may become damaged from impact. Having spare collars ensures you can quickly restore your suspension to optimal condition and maintain consistent vehicle handling.
• How often should I replace my shock collars? — Shock collar replacement is typically a maintenance item rather than a regular service interval. You should replace them when you notice signs of wear such as difficulty threading, visible damage, or if threads become stripped during normal maintenance and setup adjustments. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare sets on hand to avoid delays during maintenance sessions.
• What is the correct way to reference this part when ordering? — Always refer to the part number AS25942 when checking your Rival MT8 manual or ordering replacement shock components for your model. This ensures you receive the correct, compatible parts that fit perfectly with your vehicle's suspension assembly.
• Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, these are original equipment manufacturer parts produced by Team Associated. When you order from RC Model Shop, you receive authentic components with the reassurance of quality and proper fitment that comes with genuine OEM spares.
