- Quality Manufacturing — Built by Associated, a manufacturer with decades of experience in RC engineering, these arms are manufactured to exacting tolerances and quality standards that ensure reliability and longevity.

Technical Performance
The Associated AS71105 Rear Suspension Arms are engineered with precision tolerances to ensure perfect fitment within the T6.1 and SC6.1 chassis. These rear suspension components are critical to vehicle performance because they directly affect weight transfer, cornering ability, and overall handling characteristics. The arms work in conjunction with your vehicle's shock absorbers and anti-roll bar system to manage suspension geometry during acceleration, braking, and cornering manoeuvres. By maintaining proper suspension geometry, these arms ensure that your tyres maintain optimal contact with the track surface, which translates to better grip, faster lap times, and more predictable handling. The construction quality is typical of Associated's commitment to reliability—these parts are designed to withstand the stresses of competitive racing and casual bashing alike. When installed correctly on a T6.1 or SC6.1, the rear suspension arms work seamlessly with the vehicle's independent rear suspension system to deliver the responsive, predictable handling that Associated is famous for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Associated AS71105 Rear Suspension Arms suitable for my T6.1 or SC6.1 truck? — Yes, these arms are designed specifically for the T6.1 and SC6.1 model ranges. However, it's important to refer to your vehicle manual and parts list to confirm that the AS71105 is the correct rear suspension arm set for your specific model build, as some variants may have different specifications.
- When should I replace my rear suspension arms? — You should consider replacing your rear suspension arms if they become visibly bent or damaged from a crash, if they develop cracks or stress marks, or if you notice your vehicle's handling has become unpredictable despite having a properly set-up chassis. Additionally, if you've had your truck for several seasons of heavy use, preventative replacement of suspension arms is a smart maintenance decision.
- Will replacing just the rear suspension arms improve my truck's handling? — If your rear arms are damaged or worn, replacing them will restore your vehicle to its intended handling characteristics. However, if your suspension geometry was correct before the arms became damaged, replacement alone should restore handling rather than improve it beyond the original specification. If you're looking to modify handling characteristics, you may want to explore adjustable suspension geometry options or different shock settings in conjunction with arm replacement.
- How difficult is it to install the AS71105 rear suspension arms? — Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical experience with RC vehicles. If you're familiar with basic RC maintenance and have standard tools like Allen keys and a socket set, installation should be straightforward. The arms are designed for direct fitment on the T6.1 and SC6.1, so no modification is required. However, if you're new to RC maintenance, you may want to consult your vehicle manual or seek assistance from an experienced RC enthusiast.
- Are these parts suitable for beginners? — These rear suspension arms are replacement/spare parts rather than a complete vehicle, so they're most suitable for owners who already have a T6.1 or SC6.1 and understand basic RC vehicle maintenance. If you're brand new to RC and don't yet have a truck, you'd benefit more from starting with a complete Ready to Run RC car kit.
- What is the difference between these rear arms and arms from other manufacturers? — These are genuine Associated rear suspension arms engineered specifically for the T6.1 and SC6.1 geometry and specifications. They are manufactured to Associated's quality standards and are designed to work perfectly with the rest of your T6.1 or SC6.1 chassis. Using genuine manufacturer parts ensures perfect fitment and maintains your vehicle's performance characteristics.
