Technical Performance
The TEAM ASSOCIATED APEX 2 FT STEERING ARMS represent the pinnacle of materials science applied to RC vehicle steering geometry. The carbon fibre construction delivers exceptional performance through its inherent properties: superior strength, minimal weight, and outstanding rigidity. When compared to aluminium or plastic alternatives, carbon fibre steering arms reduce unsprung weight whilst maintaining structural integrity under the extreme stresses generated during high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each arm maintains identical geometry, eliminating any inconsistencies that could introduce handling unpredictability. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK seeking to optimise their vehicle's steering response, these arms deliver measurable improvements in turn-in sharpness, mid-corner stability, and exit traction. The Factory Team designation confirms these components have been validated through rigorous testing and real-world competitive use, guaranteeing they will withstand the demands of both racing and recreational driving.
