Key Features

• Genuine Factory Spare — This is an official Team Associated component, not a third-party copy or clone. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fitment, optimal performance and longevity. You can trust that this part meets the exact specifications that Associated engineers designed for your TC7.2, without any guesswork or compatibility concerns.
• Secure Motor Positioning — The primary function of a motor mount is to hold your brushless or brushed motor in precisely the right position relative to the gearbox and drivetrain. A quality mount ensures that power is transferred efficiently from the motor to the wheels, and any misalignment can lead to binding, excessive wear, or loss of performance. This genuine mount restores that critical alignment.
• Perfect Like-for-Like Replacement — The AS31790 is engineered to be a direct replacement for the original motor mount on your TC7.2. There's no modification, no custom fitting required — simply remove the old mount and install the new one. This straightforward replacement means minimal downtime and maximum confidence that your vehicle will run exactly as it should.
• Ideal for Routine Maintenance — Whether you're doing regular seasonal maintenance, replacing worn components, or recovering from track damage, this motor mount is the correct choice. Many experienced RC car owners keep spares on hand to minimise downtime when problems occur.
• Restores Original Fitment — Over time, motor mounts can wear, crack, or become damaged through normal use or crashes. This genuine replacement restores your TC7.2 to its original factory condition, ensuring that all the engineering precision that goes into a Team Associated vehicle is maintained.

Technical Performance

The Team Associated TC7.2 is recognised as one of the most refined and competitive 1/10 scale two-wheel drive RC buggies available to UK enthusiasts. The motor mount is a precision-engineered component that must withstand significant forces during acceleration, braking, and cornering whilst maintaining absolute rigidity to prevent any lateral movement of the motor. This genuine AS31790 mount is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original, ensuring that whether you're running a brushed motor for casual bashing or a brushless unit for competitive racing, the motor positioning remains rock-solid and unchanging. The engineering behind this seemingly simple component is crucial — even a fraction of a millimetre of movement can affect gear mesh, power delivery and overall performance. By choosing the genuine Associated part, you're investing in the precision that keeps your TC7.2 performing at its absolute best. The material composition and manufacturing process ensure durability through countless runs, whether on tarmac, carpet, or outdoor dirt tracks.
