Overview
The Team Associated TC8 FT Carbon Fibre Roll-Centre Spacer Set (AS32093) represents a premium tuning solution for serious RC racers and enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their on-road RC cars with precision and minimal weight penalty. This Factory Team component has been engineered specifically for the Team Associated TC8 FT platform, one of the most respected high-performance on-road RC vehicles available in the UK market today. Whether you're competing at the track or perfecting your setup for weekend racing sessions, this carbon fibre spacer set delivers the adjustability that separates consistent winners from the rest of the field.
Designed as a tuning aid rather than a replacement component, this roll-centre spacer set enables you to refine your suspension geometry with absolute precision. The ability to dial in the perfect roll-centre geometry is crucial for achieving balanced handling, predictable responses, and repeatable lap times on tarmac surfaces. Unlike heavier alternative materials, the carbon fibre construction keeps your RC car's centre of gravity as low as possible whilst maintaining the rigidity needed for accurate suspension setup. This makes it an essential upgrade for any TC8 FT owner serious about extracting maximum performance from their machine.
For those seeking consistent handling balance and repeatable setup changes, this Associated spacer set supports accurate shimming of suspension pickup points to suit varying track conditions and individual driving styles. Whether you're adjusting for wet weather grip, high-speed stability, or tight corner control, having the right roll-centre geometry is fundamental to competitive success with any high-performance on-road RC buggy.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Construction — The use of carbon fibre material provides exceptional strength and rigidity whilst keeping the overall weight of the spacer set to an absolute minimum, ensuring that your suspension geometry adjustments do not negatively impact your RC car's performance or handling characteristics.
- Precision Roll-Centre Tuning — This spacer set is specifically designed to allow fine adjustments to your suspension's roll-centre geometry, giving you direct control over how your chassis responds to cornering forces and weight transfer during acceleration and braking events.
- Lightweight, Rigid Design — The engineering prioritises minimal added mass without compromising structural integrity, meaning you can make multiple suspension adjustments without the penalty of excess weight that would otherwise affect acceleration, braking, and overall chassis balance.
- Factory Team Quality — As a Factory Team component from Team Associated, this spacer set meets the exacting standards expected by professional racers and dedicated hobbyists who demand nothing but the best in terms of build quality and performance reliability.
- Easy Installation — Designed as a direct-fit shimming solution, these spacers integrate seamlessly with your existing TC8 FT suspension system, making setup changes quick and straightforward without requiring any modifications to your chassis.
- Track-Proven Performance — This component is engineered based on years of competitive racing experience, ensuring that the geometry adjustments you make translate directly into improved handling and more predictable on-track behaviour.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated TC8 FT Carbon Fibre Roll-Centre Spacer Set is engineered to exacting standards from premium carbon fibre material, delivering the light weight and rigidity necessary for precision suspension tuning on high-performance on-road RC platforms. The spacer set functions as a suspension shimming aid that allows racers to adjust the roll-centre position of their suspension geometry, which directly influences how the chassis handles during cornering, acceleration, and braking. By offering discrete adjustment options through stackable spacers, this kit gives you granular control over your suspension setup without requiring complete component replacements. The carbon fibre construction is particularly important for serious competitors because it allows multiple geometric adjustments whilst maintaining the lowest possible unsprung weight, which is critical for achieving responsive handling and quick direction changes on tarmac surfaces. Team Associated's Factory Team designation means this component has been developed and tested at the highest levels of competitive RC racing, ensuring that every adjustment you make delivers measurable improvements in chassis balance and on-track performance. The design philosophy behind this spacer set reflects decades of racing knowledge, allowing skilled drivers to extract maximum performance from their TC8 FT whilst maintaining the structural integrity and reliability required for consistent competition results.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a roll-centre spacer and why do I need it for my TC8 FT? — The roll-centre is a critical suspension geometry point that influences how your chassis responds during cornering. By using this spacer set, you can adjust the roll-centre position to suit different track conditions, weather, and your personal driving style. This is essential for achieving balanced handling and repeatable lap times with your on-road RC buggy.
- Will this spacer set work with my Team Associated TC8 FT? — Yes, this AS32093 spacer set is specifically engineered for the Team Associated TC8 FT platform and provides direct fitment without any modifications required to your chassis or suspension components.
- Is carbon fibre the right material choice for suspension spacers? — Absolutely. Carbon fibre offers the perfect balance of lightweight construction and rigid structural integrity. This is particularly important for suspension tuning components because you want to make geometry adjustments without adding unnecessary weight that would affect your RC car's performance, acceleration, and braking characteristics.
- Can I use these spacers if I'm new to suspension tuning? — This product is best suited for racers who already understand suspension geometry and have experience making setup adjustments. If you're new to on-road RC tuning, you may want to start with the stock TC8 FT setup and gradually explore how roll-centre adjustments affect your handling before investing in a spacer set like this.
- How many adjustment options do these spacers provide? — The set includes multiple carbon fibre spacer components that can be stacked and configured in different combinations to achieve a range of roll-centre positions, allowing you to find the optimal setup for your specific driving style and track conditions.
- Is this a Factory Team genuine product? — Yes, this is an official Team Associated Factory Team component, part of their premium tuning range designed for competitive racers who demand the highest standards of engineering and performance.
