Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock shafts compatible with the Team Associated TC7.1? — Yes, the AS31746 is specifically designed for the TC7.1 and is part of Team Associated's official parts range for this model. These parts align with the TC7.1 naming convention and are intended to work seamlessly with your complete suspension assembly.
- Why should I replace my shock shafts? — Shock shafts can become worn, scratched, or bent through regular use and racing, which compromises damper performance and response. Replacing them restores consistent damping characteristics and ensures your suspension performs as originally engineered.
- Do I need to replace all the screws and washers? — The kit is designed as a complete set with matched components, so replacing the entire assembly ensures all fastening hardware meets specification and prevents potential compatibility issues between old and new parts.
- Can I use these with previous TC7 versions? — The AS31746 is specifically matched to the TC7.1 specification. Team Associated notes in their parts compatibility information that newer shock components are not compatible with previous versions, so verify your model before ordering.
- What tools do I need to install these? — You'll need basic RC car assembly tools such as hex drivers appropriate for the fastening screws. Consult your TC7.1 manual for the specific assembly order and any tools recommended by Team Associated.
- How often should I service my shock shafts? — Regular inspection is recommended, especially if you race competitively. Team Associated's shock rebuild kit (part number AS31693) is available if you need a complete service, though these shafts represent core hardware maintenance that extends damper life significantly.
