Overview
The Team Associated AS71015 Suspension Arm Set is an essential genuine replacement component designed for serious RC enthusiasts and competitors running Team Associated 1/10 scale vehicles. Whether you're maintaining your ProSC10, RAT, Reflex, or T5M RC car, this suspension arm set helps restore your vehicle to factory performance standards. As a dedicated RC car UK retailer, RC Model Shop recognises that suspension geometry is critical to consistent handling, and using genuine factory parts ensures your vehicle performs as the engineers intended. This replacement part is perfect for routine maintenance after extended track sessions or for repairing worn components that have taken a battering during competitive racing or weekend bashing.
Team Associated has built its reputation on precision engineering and race-proven components, and the AS71015 suspension arm set exemplifies this commitment to quality. The suspension arms are critical load-bearing components that connect your vehicle's chassis to the shock absorbers, transferring weight, managing cornering forces, and ultimately determining how your RC buggy or short course truck handles on the track or trail. Over time, even the toughest suspension arms can suffer wear, bending, or damage, particularly in competitive environments where vehicles are pushed to their limits. Having a genuine replacement arm set on hand means you can get back to racing quickly without compromising vehicle geometry or handling characteristics.
If you're a serious RC competitor, a weekend warrior, or simply someone who demands reliability from their RC car UK setup, the AS71015 is an investment in consistent performance. This is not a budget alternative—it's the genuine article, designed and manufactured by Team Associated to the same exacting standards as the original equipment fitted to your vehicle from the factory.

Technical Performance
The Team Associated AS71015 Suspension Arm Set is engineered with the precision and durability that serious RC competitors demand. These suspension arms are critical structural components that must withstand enormous lateral and vertical forces during cornering, acceleration, and braking. The arms connect your chassis to the shock absorber mounts and handle-bar links, directly influencing how weight is transferred through your vehicle during dynamic driving. Team Associated manufactures these components to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent geometry across the entire suspension range. The manufacturing process and material selection guarantee that these arms maintain their integrity through extended racing sessions, whether you're competing in short course truck racing, buggy competition, or high-speed touring car racing. For users of the ProSC10, RAT, Reflex, and T5M vehicles, maintaining correct suspension geometry is absolutely essential—even minor variations in arm geometry can result in noticeable changes in handling balance, steering response, and overall vehicle performance. These arms are designed to work in conjunction with the complete suspension package, including the shock absorbers and springs specified for each vehicle platform. Keeping your suspension arms in factory-correct condition is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain peak performance and reliability in your RC car UK setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles does the AS71015 suspension arm set fit? — The AS71015 is compatible with Team Associated ProSC10, RAT, Reflex, and T5M models. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle's manual and part number before installation to ensure correct fit.
- Why would I need replacement suspension arms? — Suspension arms wear over time through normal use and can also suffer damage from crashes or hard impacts. Bent or damaged arms compromise your vehicle's geometry, affecting handling, steering response, and cornering performance. Replacement arms restore factory geometry and performance.
- Is this a genuine Team Associated part? — Yes, the AS71015 is a genuine factory-original part manufactured by Team Associated, not an aftermarket alternative. Using genuine parts ensures your vehicle maintains the intended performance characteristics and geometry specifications.
- How do I know if my suspension arms need replacement? — Signs include uneven tyre wear, unexpected handling changes, difficulty maintaining consistent steering feel, or visible bending or damage to the arms themselves. If you've had a significant crash or noticed changes in how your RC buggy or short course truck handles, suspension arm inspection and replacement is recommended.
- Can I install these myself? — The suspension arms connect to your chassis and shock absorbers, so installation should be performed carefully. Refer to your vehicle's manual for detailed instructions. If you're unsure about installation, RC Model Shop's team of experienced enthusiasts is happy to provide guidance.
- What is the difference between genuine and aftermarket suspension arms? — Genuine Team Associated arms are manufactured to the exact original specifications, maintaining precise geometry and tolerances. Aftermarket alternatives may vary in dimensions, material quality, or manufacturing tolerance, which can affect handling. Genuine parts ensure consistent performance and reliability.
