Overview

The Team Associated T6.1 FT Rear Suspension Arms in carbon fibre represent a premium upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts running the RC10T6.1 platform. These factory team-spec components are engineered to deliver measurable performance improvements on high-traction tracks across the UK and beyond. Whether you're competing in organised RC racing events or pushing your T6.1 to its limits on quality track surfaces, these carbon fibre suspension arms are designed to enhance your driving experience with superior handling characteristics and increased durability compared to standard options.

As an authorised Team Associated stockist, RC Model Shop is proud to offer these genuine Factory Team upgrades to the UK RC community. The T6.1 has become a favourite among 1/10-scale off-road racers, and these rear suspension arms are one of the most impactful upgrades available for this platform. The move from standard hard material components to carbon fibre construction represents a significant step forward in ride quality, predictability and vehicle stability, particularly when driving at speed through fast corners on high-grip surfaces.

These suspension arms are part of Team Associated's comprehensive Factory Team range, engineered with the same precision and attention to detail that goes into competition race kits. If you're serious about extracting maximum performance from your RC10T6.1, upgrading to carbon fibre suspension components should be high on your modification priority list.

Key Features

• Lightweight Construction — These carbon fibre arms deliver approximately 12% weight savings over the standard hard material option, which reduces unsprung mass and allows your suspension to respond more quickly and precisely to track conditions, improving overall handling characteristics.
• Extreme Rigidity — The carbon fibre material provides exceptional stiffness that translates into more predictable handling response, particularly in high-traction racing applications where consistency is critical, and significantly increases vehicle stability when driving through fast corners at race pace.
• Improved Durability — Despite being lighter than hard material options, these carbon fibre arms offer significantly improved strength and longevity, reducing the risk of breakage during intense racing sessions and providing better value over time through extended component lifespan.
• Factory Team Specification — These arms are manufactured to the exacting standards of Team Associated's Factory Team division, ensuring competition-grade quality and reliability that matches what professional racers depend on for serious racing.
• Direct Compatibility — Designed specifically for the RC10T6.1, these arms fit perfectly without modification and integrate seamlessly with your existing suspension geometry and setup.

Technical Performance

The TEAM ASSOCIATED T6.1 FT REAR SUSPENSION ARMS represent a significant engineering advancement in 1/10-scale off-road RC suspension design. The switch from aluminium or plastic hard material to carbon fibre composite construction delivers dual benefits that matter to competitive racers: reduced weight through the unsprung components and increased rigidity for more responsive handling. The approximately 12% weight reduction might seem modest in isolation, but when applied to rear suspension arms—components that directly influence how your chassis responds to track changes—this savings translates into noticeable improvements in corner entry responsiveness and mid-corner stability. The extreme rigidity characteristic of carbon fibre means the suspension geometry remains consistent throughout aggressive driving, preventing the flex and deflection that can plague plastic or softer aluminium options during high-speed cornering. Team Associated's engineering team has optimised these components specifically for the T6.1's suspension linkage, ensuring the material thickness, geometry and mounting points are perfectly calibrated for this platform. The improved durability over hard material parts is particularly valuable for UK-based racers who put their machines through demanding training sessions and competitive events. Build quality is exceptional throughout, with precise manufacturing tolerances that ensure perfect fitment and alignment every time you install or replace these arms.
