Overview
The Associated SC6.1 Body Mounts Front & Rear (AS71123) are essential replacement components for RC enthusiasts who own the Team Associated RC10 SC6.1 short course truck. Whether you're a dedicated competitor, a weekend basher, or someone who enjoys pushing their RC car UK to the limit, these body mounts play a crucial role in keeping your vehicle's body shell securely attached and properly aligned. Short course trucks like the SC6.1 are renowned for their speed and durability, but the mounting points that hold your body in place can wear out or become damaged through regular use and impacts. Having a reliable spare set ensures your RC short course truck remains in peak condition.
Body mounts are often overlooked but represent one of the most important maintenance items in any RC car UK collection. The front and rear mounting points experience constant stress during acceleration, braking, and cornering, particularly in competitive short course racing where vehicles operate at high speeds across varied terrain. The SC6.1 is a precision-engineered short course racing platform, and using the correct genuine Associated parts like the AS71123 ensures your vehicle maintains its intended geometry, aerodynamics, and handling characteristics. This is not just about functionality – it's about preserving the engineering that makes your RC hobby investment perform as designed.
If you've noticed your body shell moving slightly, rattling during corners, or if your original mounts have cracked or broken through aggressive use, replacement becomes essential. Keeping to the correct part number (AS71123) helps ensure proper fit and finish every time. Whether you're rebuilding after a crash, performing routine maintenance, or preparing for your next competitive RC event, these body mounts from the manufacturer's official spare parts range represent the authentic solution recommended by the engineers who designed your vehicle.
Key Features
- Front and Rear Coverage — This set includes both front and rear body mounts, so you can address wear or damage at either attachment point without needing to purchase multiple products separately. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare mounts on hand because both ends of the body are equally important for maintaining structural integrity and alignment.
- Genuine Associated Part — As an official OEM (original equipment manufacturer) component with the verified part number AS71123, these mounts are engineered specifically for the RC10 SC6.1 platform. Using genuine parts eliminates guesswork about fitment and ensures you get exactly what Team Associated's designers intended for your vehicle.
- Straightforward Maintenance Solution — Whether your originals have worn through normal use or been damaged by impacts, these mounts provide a simple replacement path. No complex installation or modifications required – they fit exactly where the original mounts sat, making repairs quick and hassle-free.
- Proper Alignment and Finish — Body shell alignment is critical for aerodynamic performance, especially in short course racing where every advantage counts. These mounts ensure your body sits correctly relative to the chassis, preserving the handling balance and appearance of your SC6.1.
- Essential for Competitive Racing — If you run your RC short course truck in organised events, having spare body mounts is practically mandatory. Crashes happen during competition, and being able to quickly swap out damaged mounts and get back on the track could be the difference between finishing a race and sitting it out.
- Part of the Official Parts Ecosystem — These mounts are integrated into Team Associated's comprehensive spare parts catalogue for the SC6.1 range. Referencing AS71123 in your vehicle manual or parts list makes identification straightforward during rebuilds or upgrades.
Technical Performance
The SC6.1 body mounts represent precision-engineered plastic components designed to withstand the rigorous demands of high-performance short course racing. Short course trucks operate at considerable speeds across rough terrain, with constant impacts and vibration that stress every component. Body mounts must be rigid enough to hold the shell securely in place during aggressive cornering and acceleration, yet durable enough to resist cracking or breaking under the punishment that competitive RC racing delivers. The engineering behind these mounts considers the weight distribution of a short course body shell, the mounting geometry required for proper alignment, and the material properties needed to maintain performance across hundreds of runs. Team Associated has refined these components through years of racing experience, competitive feedback, and real-world testing on professional racetracks and in hobby-grade environments. The mounts integrate seamlessly with the SC6.1's chassis design, maintaining the vehicle's intended weight distribution and aerodynamic profile. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and authenticity, genuine Associated spares represent the engineering standard that your RC car investment deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these body mounts compatible with my Associated RC10 SC6.1? — Yes, these mounts are specifically engineered for the Team Associated RC10 SC6.1 short course truck platform. Before purchase, check your vehicle manual or parts list to confirm fitment, as this ensures you're ordering the correct components for your specific SC6.1 model year and configuration.
- When should I replace my body mounts? — Body mounts should be replaced if you notice your shell rattling or moving during operation, visible cracks or damage to the mounting points, or if they've become loose and won't hold the body tight regardless of how much you tighten them. Many competitive RC racers replace body mounts proactively as part of regular maintenance, treating them like consumable parts similar to tyres or suspension bushings.
- How do I install these body mounts? — Installation is straightforward – remove the old mounts by unbolting them from both the body shell and chassis, then install the new AS71123 mounts in the same positions. The mounting geometry is identical to the original components, so no modifications or adjustments are needed. Most RC enthusiasts can complete this maintenance task in just a few minutes with basic tools.
- Can I use these mounts on different Associated models? — These mounts are designed specifically for the SC6.1 platform. Whilst other Associated vehicles may have similar mounting systems, using the correct part number (AS71123) ensures proper fitment and performance on your SC6.1. Always verify compatibility through your parts manual before ordering spares for different models.
- Where can I find these mounts in my vehicle manual? — Your SC6.1 parts diagram will reference component AS71123 specifically under the body mounting or chassis assembly section. Keeping your manual handy during maintenance makes identifying spare parts straightforward, and many RC enthusiasts photograph these diagrams for quick reference at the workshop.
- Are body mounts considered a replacement or upgrade part? — Body mounts fall into the replacement category – they're not performance upgrades but rather essential maintenance items that keep your vehicle in factory-specification condition. However, maintaining proper body mounting is vital for consistent handling, so keeping spares on hand is considered essential rather than optional by experienced RC car UK users.
