Technical Performance
The Associated AS71086 anti-roll bar mount and steering rod ends set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the DR10 1/10 scale RC platform. The multi-component design allows for precise suspension tuning through the use of different spacer sizes and rod end options. The inclusion of both 6x12.5mm and 4.3x12.5mm rod ends provides suspension geometry flexibility, allowing you to dial in the perfect steering response and handling balance for your specific driving style and track conditions. The anti-roll bar system is critical to minimising body roll during cornering, which translates directly to improved stability and traction for your RC buggy. The precision-machined ball cups and carefully engineered mounts ensure that loads are transferred efficiently through the suspension system without play or deflection. The spacers (6x8mm and 6x6mm) allow you to adjust the suspension geometry with precision, making these parts essential for competitive RC car racing and setup tuning. Every component in this set is manufactured to Associated's strict quality standards, ensuring that you can rely on this hardware to perform consistently lap after lap, whether you're competing in UK RC racing championships or enjoying casual weekend driving sessions.
