Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this suitable for both TC8 variants? — Yes, this receiver mount is compatible with both the TC8 Graphite-Spec and TC8 Steel-Spec variants, making it a universal replacement or upgrade option for any TC8 owner.
• What is a receiver mount and why does it matter? — A receiver mount is the component that securely holds your RC car's receiver in place. The receiver is the critical electronic component that translates radio signals into steering and throttle commands. A quality receiver mount keeps the receiver perfectly positioned, prevents vibration-induced signal loss, and ensures your RC car responds precisely to your controller input. A poor-quality or damaged receiver mount can result in sluggish handling, inconsistent steering response, or complete signal loss during driving.
• Why choose steel construction over plastic or composite? — Steel provides superior rigidity, impact resistance, and durability compared to plastic or composite receiver mounts. Steel won't bend or flex under stress, won't develop cracks from impacts, and maintains precise positioning throughout the life of the component. For competitive racing or aggressive driving where durability and precision matter, steel is the premium choice.
• Is this an original Team Associated part? — Yes, this is a genuine Factory Team component manufactured by Team Associated specifically for the TC8 platform. It carries the official AS32092 part number and the Team Associated Factory Team branding, ensuring it meets all original equipment specifications.
• What weight does this add to my RC car? — This receiver mount adds just 15 grams to your vehicle's total weight. For comparison, most composite receiver mounts weigh 12-14 grams, so the steel construction adds minimal weight penalty whilst providing superior durability and rigidity.
• Do I need professional installation? — The receiver mount will integrate with your TC8 chassis according to the vehicle's design specifications. Whilst installation is straightforward for those familiar with RC car assembly, we recommend following Team Associated's official documentation if you're new to RC car maintenance.
• What is the difference between this and standard plastic receiver mounts? — Steel construction provides superior rigidity, impact resistance, and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. Plastic receiver mounts can flex under stress, may crack from impacts, and can develop play or movement over time. This steel Factory Team mount maintains precise positioning throughout its service life, crucial for competitive performance and reliable receiver positioning.
