Frequently Asked Questions
- What are rear axle spacers and why do I need them? — Rear axle spacers, also called shims, are thin components that fit on your RC buggy's rear axle to maintain correct spacing and alignment of drivetrain components. Over time, repeated use can cause wear that affects axle geometry. Replacing spacers as part of regular maintenance ensures your transmission mesh remains properly engaged, reducing wear on gears and maintaining smooth power delivery from your motor to the wheels.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, the AS6373 spacers are factory-original Team Associated components. These are not aftermarket alternatives but genuine manufacturer parts built to exact specifications. Using genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility with your RC10B3, RC10 Classic, or RC10CC and guarantees the correct tolerances for optimal drivetrain performance.
- What vehicles are these spacers compatible with? — The Team Associated Spacers AS6373 are designed for 1/4-inch rear axles and fit the following Team Associated vehicles: RC10B3, RC10 Classic, and RC10CC. Before ordering, refer to your specific vehicle's manual to confirm this is the correct part for your model and that replacement is required.
- How thick are the spacers? — Each spacer is 0.010 inches thick. This precise thickness is critical for maintaining correct axle spacing and drivetrain alignment. The exact measurement ensures your rear axle geometry matches Team Associated's engineering specifications.
- When should I replace my rear axle spacers? — Rear axle spacers should be inspected during regular maintenance. Check your RC car's manual for the recommended maintenance schedule. If you notice excessive transmission noise, uneven gear wear, or suspect drivetrain misalignment, spacer replacement may be necessary. These are wear items that can degrade with heavy use, particularly in competition or aggressive driving scenarios.
- Can I use aftermarket spacers instead of genuine Team Associated parts? — While aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper, genuine Team Associated spacers guarantee correct tolerances and perfect compatibility. The small cost difference is worthwhile insurance against potential drivetrain problems caused by incorrect spacing. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK, using factory parts is the standard approach to vehicle maintenance.
