As an authorised Team Associated retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine parts that ensure your RC vehicle performs at its best, whether you're running a ready to run RC car or a competition machine.
Ballstuds are critical suspension components that connect your suspension arms to the chassis, absorbing impacts and maintaining proper suspension geometry during aggressive driving.

Team Associated's heavy-duty construction means these ballstuds are built to withstand the stresses of regular bashings, competitive racing, and technical driving without failure.
Supplied under the original Team Associated part number AS32041, these genuine replacement parts make it straightforward to reference and order the exact item you need for routine maintenance, spare parts stock, or repair work. Whether you're an experienced RC competitor, a weekend basher enjoying the best of RC car UK culture, or a hobbyist maintaining your collection, genuine Team Associated replacement parts ensure your RC vehicle remains in peak condition.

Technical Performance
Team Associated has engineered these HD ballstuds with attention to material quality and dimensional precision that defines genuine OEM RC components. The short 4mm specification delivers a compact solution for suspension geometry tuning and component replacement across multiple Team Associated RC car platforms. Heavy-duty ballstuds like these are essential wear items that require periodic replacement during regular RC car maintenance, particularly after high-impact driving, competitive racing, or extensive bashings where suspension forces are at their maximum. The robust construction ensures minimal flex and maintains proper suspension alignment, which is critical for consistent handling characteristics and tire wear patterns across both front and rear suspension installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are ballstuds and why do I need replacement ones? — Ballstuds are suspension components that connect your suspension arms to the chassis ball cups, allowing suspension articulation while absorbing impacts. They wear out through regular use, impacts, and vibration, and eventually require replacement to maintain proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics. Genuine Team Associated ballstuds ensure your RC car performs exactly as engineered.
- What does the 4mm short specification mean? — The 4mm specification refers to the length of the ballstud, making this a low-profile option suitable for applications requiring minimal vertical height or where tighter fitment is necessary. This compact design is particularly useful for specific Team Associated models or for tuners seeking to adjust suspension geometry through component changes.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, these are original Team Associated OEM replacement parts supplied under the official manufacturer part number AS32041. Choosing genuine parts ensures perfect fitment, material quality, and long-term reliability compared to generic alternatives.
- How often should I replace my ballstuds? — Ballstud replacement intervals depend on driving frequency and intensity. Regular bashers and competitive racers should inspect ballstuds frequently and replace any that show wear, play, or damage. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare ballstuds in their maintenance kit for quick trackside or field repairs.
- Which RC cars use AS32041 ballstuds? — These are Team Associated genuine parts compatible with various Team Associated RC car models. Check your specific vehicle's parts diagram or parts list to confirm compatibility, or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop for fitment advice.
- Should I buy multiple sets? — Yes, purchasing spares is highly recommended for regular RC car maintenance. Most RC cars use multiple ballstuds across front and rear suspension, so keeping extras in your spares box means you're always ready for repairs without travel delays.
